Do you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?
"Originally told that this program might cost the state $5 million, now costs over $15 million per year and will only increase. Who pays for that? Under our current system, property owners and renters. With little to no oversight, our students do not gain with this program."

"Honest discussions about the choices people make about their personal lives erases stigma and decreases the level of emotional distress young children feel. Children who have parents along the gender spectrum and the sexual orientation spectrum need to be heard and their families normalized."

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"A sticky wicket, as they say. Too much of the tax burden falls on property owners, and renters (when the property owners pass the taxes along). Some say taxing businesses more will chase them away from our state. On the other hand, our college students pay the highest in-state tuition in the country because our gov't contributes the least. More money in our coffers means more money for our education, mental health, infrastructure..."

Do you support the option of mail-in ballots for all voters, not just absentees?
"Employment, family, and other obligations as well as distance from polling places may prevent people from voting on Election Day, even if it were made a Federal/State holiday. Mail in ballots broaden and increase the level of participation in the process."

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"Right now,NH law prohibits the holder of a license to carry a loaded handgun from bringing it into a courtroom, or area used by a court. That's it. Period. Anyone over 18, who is not prohibited from possessing a firearm can carry a loaded handgun in a vehicle...without a permit. REALLY? Even though we've not had a mass shooting event since 1982, our gun death rate, per 100,000 is double that of MA. yes, we need stricter gun laws."
