"On the surface, the idea of a school voucher program sounds convincing: Provide funding for lower-resource families to provide their children with the education they feel would be best. These programs, however, divert much-needed funds from public schools. In New Hampshire, more than $24 million that could have gone to support public education were put toward voucher expansion in 2023-2024. Additionally, voucher recipients perform worse than their publicly educated peers. I’m proud to be endorsed by the NEA-NH and AFT-NH for my support of fairly funded, robust public education where all students can learn and thrive."

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

"Lawmakers shouldn't come between people and their medical providers. Abortion bans are a danger to people who can become pregnant, and as such, I would condemn medically unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion and support any legislation codifying the right to abortion in New Hampshire."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?

"The affects of climate change are felt acutely on the seacoast, as many residents and businesses lie in flood zones. It is important to keep in mind how any legislative action would have an impact on not only the economy, but also the climate. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting green jobs will help combat climate change while supporting our residents."

"At a federal level, immigration and border security reform is desperately needed. In New Hampshire, no migrants were apprehended crossing our state’s border with Canada illegally in the first half of 2024. There’s a question about whether the $1.4 million allocated for New Hampshire’s Northern Border Task Force Alliance is deterring illegal crossings and improving public safety, or if this initiative is a solution in search of a problem. I am most interested in hearing from local law enforcement about how this approach is working for their towns."
