Candidate's Facebook Page, 2022

"As a parent of young kids, my wife and I are constantly reminded at home of what is fair and what isn’t. A community shares resources because it's fair, it's the right thing to do, and it's the most cost-effective thing to do. Our GOP-run state government instituted an apparatus to divert public taxpayer dollars to private schools. It has already happened. Our tax dollars are funding private schools right now, which means those same dollars aren’t going to our public schools. Everybody in this town is smart enough to understand that breaking that bond of community is unfair and it’s not right."

Candidate's Facebook Page, 2022

"Making towns pay more and more of the share of education is untenable, and has resulted in property tax bills that are over 60% for schools. My family chose to move to New Hampshire, in part, to enjoy an income and sales tax free lifestyle, and we'd like to keep it that way. However, the Pledge is old and worn out. It's a weakening political weapon and does nothing to address what I believe is one of the most pressing and wide-reaching issues in this state; school funding. If your candidate can't pledge to advocate for better school funding in the state budget, and against public money for private schools, they don't deserve your vote."
