problems which enabled the fraud remained in place. Havenstein retired from SAIC for personal reasons shortly after the prosecution of SAIC was deferred. He recently told the Keene Sentinel editorial board that he left his million dollar a year job because the commute from New Hampshire to Washington, DC had become too difficult. As SAIC's CEO, Havenstein was selected to receive the Technology "Good Scout Award" at the annual luncheon on October 19, 2010. Campaign for governor On April 16, 2014, Havenstein announced that he was running for Governor of New Hampshire as a Republican. Immediately upon entering the race, Havenstein faced questions from opponents about his eligibility to run. RSA 655:5 of New Hampshire law states that, "To hold the office of governor, a person must be qualified as provided in Part 2, Article 42 of the state constitution: at the time of the election, the person must have been an inhabitant of this state for 7 years next preceding, and be of the age of 30 years." Resident and inhabitant is defined in RSA 21:6 as someone "who has, through all of his actions, demonstrated a current intent to designate that place of abode as his principal place of physical presence for the indefinite future to the exclusion of all others." Havenstein responded to residency questions on April 16. The Concord Monitor reported him saying, "New Hampshire has been his domicile since 1999 and he has not voted in any other state during that time period. He said he is confident that he has met all of his tax obligations in Maryland and elsewhere, but said he would not release his tax information when asked by a reporter." He won the Republican primary on September 9 and later lost to incumbent Gov. Maggie Hassan (D) in the general election on November 4, 2014. Honors and awards In December 2009, Havenstein was honored and recognized as a recipient of the Spirit of Service Award given by the Youth Leadership Foundation, which provides academic tutoring and mentoring to disadvantaged youth in the Washington, DC metro area.
