Should NH add an income tax on earned income?

"I would support a graduated income tax to fund critical social services like education if it came alongside some property tax relief for working & middle-class families."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should NH add a broad-based sales tax?

"I will assess all tax legislation from the perspective of supporting progressive taxation. No one loves paying taxes. However, we need taxes in order to fund critical social services. My philosophy is those who can contribute more (wealthy individuals & corporations) should pay more. Additionally, I believe people are more likely to feel good about taxes if the money is spent on services that everyone benefits from (schools, healthcare, parks, etc). In societies with strong social services there is less violence. As a result, there is less of a need to spend money on criminalization & militarization. Taxing basic necessities through a sales tax is a regressive tax and will disproportionately hurt working-class families and therefore I oppose it."

Should New Hampshire add a tax credit for businesses that contribute to student loan repayment for employees?

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

"The minimum wage in NH is $7.25, which means many people working full time (40 hours a week) make $290.00 a week. It's impossible to survive off that. No one should be working full time and living in poverty."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire increase the size of solar panel installations that may participate in net energy metering?

When asked about a 24-week abortion ban on the Citizens Count issue survey, Toll wrote, "I am passionately pro reproductive justice and will oppose all efforts to restrict abortion and abortion access in our state."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire create a road usage fee?

"I touched base with a local environmental justice activist about this question. Here is what she had to say and I completely share these sentiments. 'Seems to me like an inequitable way to pay for road maintenance. Particularly here in New Hampshire when we have little to no public transportation options, a road usage fee would not realistically get more people to use public transit. It also begs the question, particularly now, of who is able to work from home with the pandemic or even in "regular times" - what kinds of jobs can you work from home for? Low-wage jobs are almost always service jobs where you must be in-person, so folks who are making less money would bear the brunt of a road usage fee. From an environmental lens it sounds like part of the incentive is to get people driving less, which is a great idea in part. But the question I ask is: why don't we turn to subsidizing the cost of electric vehicles or more fuel efficient vehicles to get the people driving more eco-friendly cars? Why don't we build a railway network in New Hampshire? Why don't we raise our standards on cars' fuel efficiency overall? Putting the burden on people who have to drive to work every day seems inequitable when there are better ways to reduce emissions from cars.'"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire create a statewide family and medical leave program, paid for with a percentage of employee wages, with no opt-out?

"Unfortunately, Governor Sununu recently vetoed a progressive paid family leave bill that would have given workers up to 12 weeks off to take care of a sick family member or themselves following the birth or adoption of a child."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?

"Gun violence in this country is a public health crisis and tragedy. I stand in solidarity with organization like Moms Demand Action who are fighting for public safety measures to curb gun violence."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire provide student loan debt repayment programs for workers in industries with labor shortages?

"Student debt is awful in this country. I am an advocate of free college and trade schools nationally. In the interim, I would support efforts to bring down the cost of higher education in NH especially for low income students."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire add tax incentives for affordable housing development?

"I am absolutely supportive of increasing affordable housing in NH. I would like to see this done inline with the Jobs Guarantee proposal proposed by Renew New England, which includes creating well-compensated, dignified jobs building units of carbon-neutral affordable housing."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020
