Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"Our post 6 month abortion ban is right in the sweet spot of what most New Hampshire citizens support. Although I am unapologetically pro-life, I will never legislate ahead of the people."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"New Hampshire has always exceeded its RGGI targets. Placing a larger economic burden on the state absent additional modelling data is not something I would support. I would support adding 'new, modular' nuclear to the renewable portfolio standard to create a slot to encourage investment in that area."

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?
"Solar is now a mature technology that can stand on its own. If net metering paid out at the generation rate, and not the default rate, I might consider an expansion. However, as long as the rebates are paid out at the default rate, people living on a modest income in trailer homes are subsidizing the installation costs of the more wealthy. I'll never support that."

Should New Hampshire add legal protections for residents of other states who travel here for health care related to abortion or gender transition?
"No abortion data is gathered in the state of New Hampshire, making it impossible for anyone to pursue legal action against those who travel here. I believe no changes to current law are necessary."
