"Inflation is out of control and is one of the biggest problems facing the Second District today. The first thing I will do in Congress to help lower inflation is take away some of the rules and regulations that are hurting our oil and gas industry, as this will help to bring down energy prices. I will also work to balance the budget and reduce our federal spending through transparency and accountability in the budget process, because government spending is one of the main drivers of inflation."

"As a father of two college aged daughters, I believe this is a topic that needs to be approached with compassion for those involved. I support the current New Hampshire law which supports a woman’s right to choose and restricts late term abortion. This is an issue that should be left to the states, not to the federal government. I believe that the best solution to reducing the total number of abortions is to provide access to reproductive care."
