Should NH increase funding for higher education?

FOR | Read My Position

"The high price of tuition is due in large measure to the low levels of state funding for our university system. New Hampshire’s state funding is less than half of the national average; the amount of money the state has allocated to the university system is down 20% over the last ten years.

"Universities have always played a key role in developing a talented workforce as well as the next generation of entrepreneurs. If our state legislature fails to adequately fund our universities, the impact on our economy will reverberate for years to come."

Should New Hampshire ban abortion after 20 weeks gestation, with exceptions for cases of rape/incest and health complications?

AGAINST | Read My Position

"I oppose a ban on abortion after 20 weeks gestation, even with exceptions for cases of rape/incest and health complications. The language 'partial-birth abortion' is a political, not medical term that makes it more difficult for women to get an abortion, particularly when time is of the essence."
