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?
"Vouchers should benefit students who cannot be adequately served within the public school or Special Ed programs. Documentation by education professionals with yearly followups, and progress reports would be appropriate, for continuation in the program."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?
"The state could benefit from legalization of marijuana for recreational use. NH residents are currently using the retail locations across the border in Maine, so it would make sense to keep those revenues in NH. LIcensed growers and private retail locations might be the best approach. Selling cannabis is specialized and very different from selling bottled liquor, so state-run stores might not be the best approach."
