Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"I am pro-life. That being said, current NH law allows a woman to access abortion up to 6 months (24 weeks). I would never vote to ban that availability. Morality cannot be legislated and situations could arise that require medical intervention. I also believe that a woman knows if/when she is pregnant and keeping the baby before that 6th month."

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"Yes. Doing so will attract more small to medium businesses to NH, create more employment opportunities and perhaps decrease the need for public assistance (44% of the 22/23 budget) stemming from lack of gainful employment. A preferred business tax rate would be 5.5%, it is currently 7.4%."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"Climate change is not settled science, especially since there has been active geoengineering and cloud seeding in NH since 1985. Attempts to kill that law have failed multiple times in the House. How can one know what the climate is doing if think tanks and NGOs are purposely injecting aerosols and spraying alkali metals into the atmosphere?"

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?
"A photograph should also be taken by an election or town official at the time of registering. This is a sensitive topic for me because I witnessed 125 individuals register and vote on the same day during a Presidential election. They all arrived together not one of them had identification. The ballots back then could not be tracked."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"The intent of this would be to allow more individuals to purchase a starter home."

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?
"I will say this: while this is a good idea, anyone looking up these last few months can agree that a blue sky has not been the norm in Northern Grafton County. My house operates off-the-grid on a 13kw system with battery backup, and solar efficiency has been reduced to 80% or less due to this cloudy sky. We have been burning propane for most of the spring and summer. Solar panels, inverters and batteries are a large investment for this type of return. In the winter months even less power is made."

Morality cannot be legislated and situations could arise that require medical intervention. I also believe that a woman knows if/when she is pregnant and keeping the baby before that 6th month."

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?
"Marijuana for medical use is already legal in NH, and commercial use is illegal federally. Legalization of the recreational use of marijuana conflicts with the moral duty of a government official while not generating a significant revenue stream for the state (.01%). Legalization would cause the overall purchase cost to increase, driving buyers back to the black market where prices would be cheaper but the product could be laced with something dangerous. Law enforcement would have to undergo extensive training to test for impaired driving that could result from using marijuana. Studies show that frequent users tend to have more health issues, increasing Medicaid enrollement, and thus increasing taxes overall."

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
"Minimum wage is a starting point only, and not meant to be a perpetual wage for a worker. Increased wages for a worker from this level should be merit based and determined by the employer."

Should New Hampshire add legal protections for residents of other states who travel here for health care related to abortion or gender transition?
"There are multiple surrounding states with the same allowance as NH. VT has no gestational limit. My primary concern is any resident of NH."
