"There are many ways to educate a child. Parents should be able to choose programs and methods that they know will work best for their children and their lifestyle. A child’s education can come in the form of public, private, charter, homeschool or perhaps some other model.  We’ve already seen so many innovations in remote and hybrid models of learning as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Education delivery is not, and should not be, a 'one size fits all' program.  All parents, together with their children’s input, should be free to decide their own path. Education funding can be a complicated, emotional and sticky issue, but we must find solutions that allow parents to choose what works best for their children, and provides sensible and realistic spending on education.  No child should be stuck in an education model that is inadequate or does not work for them.   We must make sure that education funding formulas in New Hampshire are reasonable and adequate and work for our schools, our students and our taxpayers.  We believe that education funding should follow the child and be utilized in the best interest of every child in New Hampshire. Public education is an important part of every community’s budget and should not be short changed, but we must also demand that funding is being used efficiently, sensibly, and effectively to help our children achieve all that they can be."

"Both Judy and Michael are on the board of the Acworth Village Store.  We know the challenges small businesses face. When business is allowed to flourish, and as a result the economy grows, you have a healthy economic environment for business owners, workers and consumers. Free markets and competition make for growth, innovation, and more jobs. New Hampshire has a vibrant and growing economy with low unemployment. We will fight any legislation that would seek to suppress and hamper our continued growth and recovery. We should keep business taxes low so that more businesses make New Hampshire their home base. We must address the high costs of utilities in New Hampshire as those high costs hurt businesses, non-profit institutions, families and individuals. Additionally, our small local community businesses are of great importance and should be nurtured and encouraged. We do not need to tie them down with higher taxes, fees, and other onerous requirements."

"New Hampshire’s abortion laws are reasonable and protect viable healthy life in the third trimester.  Abortion is legal and permitted FOR ANY REASON through the first two trimesters – that’s 6 months (24 weeks) – and legal in certain circumstances such as a fatal fetal abnormality or risk to mother’s health, in the third trimester.  According to the CDC, only 1% of abortions are performed after 21 weeks, so New Hampshire’s law restricting abortion after 6 months (24 weeks) is not an infringement on women’s reproductive choice.  NH laws are not extreme!  New Hampshire’s law is very similar to laws in Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, and many other states, including California! Interesting to note that in most European countries, abortion is generally permitted within a term limit below fetal viability  (e.g. 12 weeks in Germany and Italy, or 14 weeks in France and Spain), and they also permit exceptions to allow abortion later in the pregnancy.  The longest term limits in Europe – in terms of gestation – are in the United Kingdom and in the Netherlands, both at 24 weeks of gestation. The majority of New Hampshire voters agree with, and support, the law that New Hampshire has in place.  Our laws give women a full 6 MONTHS to make an informed decision regarding abortion.  We believe our current laws are reasonable, and we are not seeking to change them."

"We believe in the right to bear arms and the right to protect oneself and one’s family. We don’t believe that more laws restricting gun ownership do anything to deter crime or stop violent acts.  Gun control only helps criminals by disarming everyone else. Every heinous mass murder was perpetrated by someone who broke many laws in the first place, so one more law will not matter, nor will it prevent these horrific crimes. Statistics prove that places with more gun control laws have more gun crime, and places with less gun control laws are safer.  Furthermore, when horrific acts like Newtown or Parkland happen, it is always the people who did not pull the trigger that are punished with bans and other harsh and ridiculous restrictions. That to me is not only unfair, but immoral.  There are other effective solutions to gun crime and mass shootings. Banning firearms, restricting firearms use and requiring more registration or reporting are not effective solutions."
