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?
"We should do everything we can to make our public schools 'Palaces of Learning'! Invest in them - and then there would be fewer reasons to leave our public educational system. Quality education does not necessarily cost more. By designing innovative programs that are exciting, engaging and relevant - we can engage students and offer them the opportunities to learn life skills and achieve high academic standards. "

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?
"We want to encourage all eligible voters to vote. We need to have easier access to polling stations and have a variety of ways to verify their documentation. There may be circumstances where a person just moved to a new town and is now realizing a deadline for registering to vote there is very close at hand."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"But as we delineate these areas we need to protect the natural resources. Building up as opposed to building out might be one approach. Denser housing in certain areas. Protected areas with no development in others. A balance. Any development must be undertaken wisely - thinking about the destruction of our water resources, animal habitats and biodiversity. "

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?
"From what I understand this would expand the usage of solar power and make it even more cost effect for homeowners to utilize it. I wonder what the difference is between residential and commercial customers. What ramifications would result and are they, too, beneficial for all?"

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?
"Our children are our most precious resource! We must invest in them in the beginning to avoid the high cost later. Quality childcare provides a safe and engaging place for children while parents meet their obligations to work and earn the money to provide a house, food, etc for their families. Child care providers should be thoroughly vetted. "

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"It would be wise to look at spreading out the taxes that fund our public schools. Currently the property tax is so high. Perhaps there is a way to balance this out. Where does the remaining 1/3 come from?"
