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?

"Absolutely support. Parents, short of abuse, have the absolute authority to direct the education, and inculcation of values of their children. If their State or community isn't achieving that for them, they should have the option of doing it themselves with the same financial backing the State provides other students."

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?

"We must outcompete regional competitors and reshore supply chains to compete in a business environment that will likely look much different in the coming years, and make sure we never experience the sorts of supply shortages we have, and will continue to, experience in the near term."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?

"NH should do more to address the climate cult as fraudulent by seeking to nullify Federal laws and regulations that hurt NH citizens and are threatening to freeze them to death in their homes this winter with energy prices several times higher YoY."

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?

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
