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?
"More than 80% of the students receiving vouchers were already attending private schools. The students who do leave public school and take the state funding with them means property taxes will increase because most education costs are "fixed', and there is no marginal savings when a child leaves a community school for private school. I am also concerned about this program's complete lack of accountability to taxpayers and that a family can be wealthier to receive private school subsidies than they can be for their child to receive health insurance."

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"The changing climate will have a serious effect on New Hampshire's tourist economy (skiing and the beaches). Off shore wind is promising, and solar power is expanding in New Hampshire. We need to build up our electric vehicle charging infrastructure."

Do you support giving voters who register without ID on Election Day a ballot that only counts if they return identifying documents to the state before a deadline?
"I am concerned about the voters who will lose their right to a secret ballot if it has an identifying code. Under proposed legislation, voters--particularly the elderly--may not have access to documents that prove citizenship and will, therefore, face barriers to voting. The proposed legislation will also put at risk our same day registration process and potentially expose us to more expensive 'motor voter' laws."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"We need tens of thousands more housing units. If people cannot find housing that is affordable to them and available, they will not come to work in New Hampshire, and this will stifle our economy."

Do you support legislation to expand the net energy metering system capacity cap from 1 MW to 5 MW for all residential and commercial customers in New Hampshire?
"We have high electric rates, and customers with solar should be able to return excess power back to the grid."

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?
"We have taken significant steps to do so, but still face a lack of child care capacity . This is keeping women out of the workforce, so employers cannot fill jobs. The federal government should play a role, too."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?

Should NH require local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement?
"New Hampshire is a very safe state. Local police departments already cooperate with federal authorities. The police departments in our two largest cities have stated that their hard work to build relationships with immigrant communities keeps us safer. They have expressed concern that making immigrants fear law enforcement will make our communities less safe."
