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 completely irresponsible from a fiscal perspective to give open ended funding to an unsupervised system where no one is checking to see how the money is being spent. It drains taxpayer money away from the public schools to enrich private ones, and violates separation of church and state."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"No one likes the idea of abortion. Depending on the individual's situation if may be the least bad option. But it has to be the decision of the individual woman in conjunction with her medical people and such family and friends as she chooses, not Big Brother in the form of the State of New Hampshire"Against| Read My Position

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"I would like to see a reform of the existing tax system first: a real state wide property tax to fund education, bring the business profits tax rate back to where it was before the recent cuts, restoring the old inheritance tax and keeping the interest and dividends tax in place."Against| Read My Position

Should NH add a broad-based sales tax?
"A sales tax is regressive. It forces the people with lower incomes to pay a bigger portion of their income to taxes, while wealthy people pay a smaller portion."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"We have cut them too much already. Most of the benefit has gone to large out of state corporations. We have gotten nothing in return. Has Amazon offered to put its Eastern HQ in New Hampshire because of our low taxes?"For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire add a tax on capital gains?
"This would fall largely on wealthier people who can afford it, and along with the other tax reforms I support might raise enough money without the need for an income tax."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?

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?

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"The housing shortage is hurting businesses who can't get young employees, young people who can't afford homes, elderly people who struggle to pay higher property taxes and anyone earning less than $20 an hour"For| Read My Position

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?
"This should be a no brainer. It helps with climate disruption. It lowers costs for both those who generate their own electricity and for the other users because the utility does not have to build expensive new power plants or power lines to bring power in from Canada"For| Read My Position

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"The current system is unfair and unconstitutional. We do not have equal taxation across the state to fund education. The state property tax should be levied equally on all citizens and fund 100% of education with an 'insurance fund' for special education"Other| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
"When I had my first real job in 1966, the minimum wage was $1.25 or 1.50 an hour. A 6 ounce candy bar was a nickel. Now our minimum wage is $7.65 and a 3 ounce candy bar is $1.80. To a living wage, as was originally intended, the minimum wage should be about $22.00 an hour"For| Read My Position

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"This is a bad question. Laws should help make people safer. A law that requires background checks is not 'gun control' it is controlling people with a record of doing bad things."
