Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"NH needs state tax reforms to dramatically reduce property taxes & tax the wealthiest among us at a fairer, more progressive rate. We need a robust discussion on taxation that dumps the outdated & so-called pledge. As Elizabeth Warren has said, 'For decades, the wealthy and the well-connected have put American government to work for their own narrow interests. As a result, a small group of families has taken a massive amount of the wealth American workers have produced, while America's middle class has been hollowed out.'"

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
"Ideally, NH workers need a livable wage. Certainly defaulting to the federal rate of $7.25 is absolutely unacceptable. I have been the lead sponsor of the Minimum Wage bill which gets to $15/hr over 4 years. This is reasonable and nobody who works full time should have to go on public assistance when they are working hard to care for themselves and their families."

Should NH require local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement?
When asked a similar question on the 2018 Citizens Count survey, Schultz wrote, "I do not think state enforcement of federal immigration laws is necessary and it is also expensive. We have enough issues with our budget in NH and this approach is unaffordable."Other| Read My Position
