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, but the local funding should go to the parents as well as the state funds. I mean, it's ridiculous that the only options for parents who pay the taxes that go to the schools is to personally and privately fund thousands of dollars every year for their own child's education, in this economy, or to do something as simple and easy as stop working to become a full time teacher for their child. Not fair, not good. Give parents the freedom to choose their child's education instead of wasting their time getting red in the face at Board of Education meetings over all the stupid things they do in public schools."

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"You may say that abortion is not murder, because an unborn child is only an unfeeling ball of cells, as inanimate and inhuman as a tabletop or a tadpole. And I can see how that could be so. But truly truly how do you know? And when does that unfeeling unalive ball of cells become a sacred human life that we must protect with our own? Because if you don't know how and you don't know when, then could you be wrong? Because if you are wrong, then we do murder. But if I am wrong, and yet still we stay our hand and let life be lived, then where is the bane in the beautiful blessing of the birth of a beloved? And so I say that if we must choose, and if perchance we must err, then let us err on the side of God's highest justice, which is Mercy."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"Often 'Climate Change' legislation is put forth by rich billionaire political activists to try and control our lives in ways that have nothing to do with the environment, but have everything to do with increasing the broad basis of their power. If you want to do something about the environment, it should be meaningful, rational, and sourced from our own people and not handed down from upon high. New Hampshire is one of the best states in the nation for having a beautiful, healthy environment anyway. We have the 2nd most dense tree populations in the nation, unspoiled natural beauty, protected parks, and healthy thriving flora and fauna. Massachusetts could learn a lot from us."

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?
"They shouldn't be allowed to vote without ID. It's not hard. You need ID to rent a book from the library. You can do it. I believe in you."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"Let the municipalities decide. The state has more than enough other things to take care of without veering into other people's lanes."

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?
"I think people need good wages and better family values so that they don't need to send their children to daycares. It's terrible. I saw a poor little boy calling the daycare attendant mommy, probably because he sees her more than his actual mother. Terrible."

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"Yes, but that money should go directly to the parents so they can decide what school their child will attend."

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?
"I don't think we need state run stores, but a small tax to growers and sellers that would go to pay for the social damages that marijuana causes (it is not as bad as smoking or heroin, but it's not harmless)."

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
"There's pros and cons to the situation. Most free market economists fall on the side that a minimum wage actually decreases the availability of overall employment, and an increased minimum wage is certainly a driving factor in automation replacing low skill workers, unfortunately. In my opinion, there's no perfect solution, but I think a higher minimum wage would be good under certain circumstances such as where capital/business has way more bargaining power than labor."

Should New Hampshire add legal protections for residents of other states who travel here for health care related to abortion or gender transition?
"Protect them from whom? And how? Healthcare records are private anyway and protected by HIPAA so there are already significant barriers to prosecution. The district attorney would first have to have evidence that you were pregnant, traveled across state lines, had an abortion and not just a miscarriage and then returned to their jurisdiction to be arrested for that. Seems unlikely."
