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?

"There should be some support for parents who decide to home school or send their kids to private schools. However, there should also be income caps so that not too much funding is diverted from the public schools."

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

"If the fetus is viable outside the womb, abortion should be prohibited except for medical issues with the mother or fetus and these decisions should be left to the mother and her doctors. However, I'm not sure 24 weeks is the correct number since I think it's possible for a fetus younger than 24 weeks to survive outside the womb."

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?

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?

"Customers who are providing power to the grid (and I'm one since I have solar panels on my house) should be reimbursed at a fair rate for this. This is not only a matter of fairness but it will hopefully encourage more people to invest in green energy."

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

"We should look at all options to increase revenue so that the state can fund critical services, one of which is providing an excellent public education for our children. Thus, while property taxes provide much of the funding for schools, we should look at other options."
