Should New Hampshire ban discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in grades K-3?
"While I want to ensure that these conversations would be age appropriate for this age group. I'm afraid that a ban on subjects like these could have unintended consequences that restrict free speech. I find it important to start the conversation with our kids by normalizing questions on different perspectives and gender identities to aid in the education of future generations educated that diversity is beautiful and will only help our community grow. Helping to build more accepting school investments for all of our of LGBTQ+ community. For those who may be questioning their gender identity from the age of K-3, I am for better supporting education around sexual orientation and gender identity to hep minimizing shame and hate later down the line."

Should NH add a broad-based sales tax?
"When it comes to any tax, I will refer to the founding father of modern economics, Adam Smith's book Wealth of Nations. When assessing whether a tax is 'more good' or 'more bad', he has 4 criteria that a tax needs to meet in order to be 'more good.' Equity: Should be proportional to your ability to pay Certainty: Everybody should be able to easily calculate how much they'd need to pay and when Convenience: Timing and method of payment must be easy to predict and pay Economy: The cost of collecting the taxes should be kept as low as possible"

Should New Hampshire add a fee or mileage charge for electric vehicle owners to help pay for transportation and/or electric infrastructure?
"I'm not a fan of registration fees as they hurt our low-income community the most. High registration fees would keep middle and low-income earners out of the electric car market at a time when we need to reduce carbon emissions. With the opportunity to create better systems that support and learn from the past mistakes of failure and demanding effects seen in the last few generation's abilities to thrive. When creating a new system around Green energy or electric vehicles, I find it incredibly important and will always support creating a better system that won't lead future generations down the same path the oil and gas has had on our working families and low income."
