Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"Living on the Seacoast, I have seen the effects of Climate Change firsthand. Massive flooding and king tides are more frequent and cannot be ignored. The question of 'Should the New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?' is a little vague. The answer is more nuanced. I am for researching climate change, how we can create mitigation opportunities in our State, and ensuring the practices currently in place are effectively audited to ensure their efficacy. There is an abundance of science regarding this, and I want to be fiscally responsible about spending regarding Climate Change in our state."

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?
"I struggle with this one. There is a part of me that thinks, Election Day is on the calendar, the responsibility lies with the citizen to have their affairs in order. That being said, life happens and I don't like the idea of not allowing someone the right to vote. I am truly undecided."

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?
"We need to help take care of the next generation. Too many people cannot afford child care, and costs are not decreasing. If people can't afford childcare, they cannot go to work. If they cannot work, they require subsidies. Helping to make child care more affordable reduces the number of subsidies, putting more NH residents to work."

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"I marked 'UNDECIDED' as I think common sense gun reform is an option that is supported by most of our citizens. I also think that common-sense gun reform is an achievable compromise. I hope to work toward creating a safer NH while ensuring that people can protect themselves and enjoy firearms recreationally. I do not support broad gun restrictions, but a precision approach to reform."
