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?
"From pre-K to technical training and public universities, Quality Public Education is fundamental to the future of New Hampshire. We need to strengthen our future workforce by supporting public education, not attacking it."

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?
"This scenario would be less likely to happen if NH adopted no excuse absentee voting and improved voter registration opportunities. For example, offering voter registration to all high school seniors who will turn 18 in time to vote in the next election. This is a fundamental right that should be offered to all of our qualified young people. What a great way for them to learn their civic responsibilities and help them get involved in our democracy!"

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"Our community needs affordable housing for seniors and young families. Some folks who work here cannot afford to live here. This is a problem throughout NH."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"NH's regressive property tax penalizes folks with lower incomes. They must pay a higher percentage of their wages on property taxes than people in the higher income brackets. This is fundamentally unfair."

Should New Hampshire repeal the ban on abortion after 24 weeks gestation?
"As a retired OB-GYN, I must disagree with the wording of the first survey question in this section. There is no 'abortion' after 24 weeks. At that point in pregnancy, it is an extremely premature Delivery. This happens in a variety of complications that threaten the life of the mother and/or the fetus. These situations are rare and delivery is the only solution to save the mother's life and increase the chance of fetal survival. These are situations in which the fetus will not survive should the pregnancy continue and/or there is a risk of maternal death if delivery is not accomplished. Neonatalogy has advanced to the point that 24 plus week premies survive with advanced care and support."

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"I support Gun Safety. NH should enact red flag laws, prevent straw purchases, stop the trafficking of ghost guns, and perform a background check on every gun purchase. New Hampshire should join the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN) to aid our law enforcement officials in their crime investigations and prevention initiatives."
