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?
"I do not believe that there should be freedom account vouchers for wealthy individuals. We need a cap on this program, and think that the criteria for eligibility should be significantly modified. This program is pulling money out of our public schools while rewarding many people whose children already attend private or religious schools. There should be vouchers only for students where there is a strong need for that particular child."Other| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"I believe that a woman should have the ability to abort after a fatal fetal diagnosis or when necessary to protect her life or physical health. In these situations, the decision should rest with a woman, her family, and her health providers. I do not believe that a viable fetus should be aborted."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"I am against the continual decrease in corporate business taxes, but with a carveout for small businesses. The corporate tax should be hitting large corporations, particularly out of state companies."For| Read My Position

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

Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"Right now, property taxes fund education largely based on where property wealth is concentrated, not where educational needs are greatest or where taxpayers have the greatest ability to pay. School funding depends heavily on property values, which means that children in the wealthiest communities are provided with more educational resources."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?

Should New Hampshire require new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote?

Should New Hampshire allow at least 10% of students in each school district to enroll in a different public school, regardless of where they live?
"I believe that enabling students to enroll in a different public school should not be based on a percentage. Only students with a strong reason to belong in another district should be going to another district, i.e., bullying in their current school. This policy could weaken schools in less prosperous communities."Undecided| Read My Position
