Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"There should be no restrictions on women's healthcare. No one that goes through months of pregnancy wants to have a late stage abortion. Those are rare, and are always full of heartache for the people involved."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"The impacts of climate change are being felt in New Hampshire today. Last year was the hottest ever on record, and this year looks to break those very same records. It is past time to do something about it. We must move quickly to make New Hampshire an example of climate resiliency. Make no mistake. In New Hampshire we have been spared, so far, from some of the worst effects of climate change. That will change. As more places feel the effects people will begin to move to places like ours. We must be ready. Because we all have to work together for the betterment of our communities."

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?
"Sometimes people forget their IDs. These votes shouldn't be counted until they are verified, but there should be no laws that prevent a citizen who can legally vote from voting."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"If we want to attract professionals like teachers, and doctors to our area we have to have a place for them to live. This means taking another look at restrictions and seeing if their are places to ease up the regulations to allow for more building. As long as we do not lose access to our natural resources and our state parks. Those regulations are non-negotiable."

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?
"If you want to have more workers in our economy you have to make it possible for them to work and have a family. It should not take an entire paycheck to pay for child care. If the only way to live is to lose an entire paycheck so someone else can take care of your children then you aren't living."

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