Position on Issues

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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?

"It is unconstitutional to use public taxpayer dollars for private and parochial school funding. This matter will soon be decided by the courts."

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

"The decision about medically necessary procedures that affect the health of women should be left to the patient, doctor, the family and the patient's faith. The state should not be in the position to decide health care procedures or decisions that should be left to the patient and professionals."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?

"New Hampshire Business Profits Tax (BPT) is now 7.5 percent, comparable to our neighboring states, which is down from the 8.5 percent from just a few years ago. There is no need for further decreases. Independent tax policy analysis, the Department of Revenue Administration, and the Legislative Budget Office believe there have been millions of dollars left 'on the table' with no material business expansion in NH. If another cut is implemented, the state of NH will lose $2 billion over the next ten years. Businesses in NH believe the lowing of local property taxes would be much more beneficial, but that is a local decision, not a state one."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire add a tax on capital gains?

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?

"This would help encourage young working families to stay and raise their children here in NH."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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

"Our system of funding public education has created a real burden on local property taxpayers. Unfortunately, the state of NH has not met its obligation to adequately fund public schools creating an enormous education funding disparity between property rich and property poor towns in New Hampshire. NH must find a more fair and equitable way to fund public education that doesn't continually shift the burden onto local property taxpayers."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?

"The Ways and Means Committee has studied the revenue side of legalizing marijuana and has found in the short term it will cost NH $23 million dollars to set up the infrastructure for sales and it may be at least 6 years before the state receives any revenue from sales. Many studies have shown that the amount of revenue this will generate will have little positive effect on NH state revenues."

Many studies have shown that the amount of revenue this will generate will have little positive effect on NH state revenues."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?

"I believe that NH's minimum wage should reflect the national minimum wage. With the pressure on finding workers minimum wages are increasing without the need of government intervention."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire add legal protections for residents of other states who travel here for health care related to abortion or gender transition?

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?

This law was changed recently and has created a safety issue for our law enforcement professionals we should consider reinstating that law."
