Voted to consider legalizing and taxing marijuana (HB 656)

Voted to change the sentence for any offense eligible for the death penalty to life imprisonment without parole (SB 593)

Opposes LLC tax

Against an income and/or sales tax. On a property tax cap: "The 'some formula' that I have seen discussed is to base the cap on income. Capping property tax for lower income taxpayers would necessarily shift the burden to the upper income levels. This would, in effect, turn the property tax into an income tax. I am opposed to the income tax."

Voted to consider right-to-work (SB 11)

Voted to forbid the use of EBT cards or cash from EBT cards for alcohol, tobacco, gambling, lottery tickets, tattoos, firearms, or adult entertainment (SB 169)

Supports reforming retirement benefits for municipal and state employees

Voted to prohibit the Department of Education and the state Board of Education from implementing the Common Core standards in any school or school district (SB 101).

Voted in favor of 2015 House Bill 572. When residential land is taken through eminent domain for a gas pipeline, HB 572 allows the resident to require the pipeline company to purchase all of the land, not just a part.

"I don't understand this question. While I am personally all for New Hampshire developing New Hampshire sources for energy, and wind is a candidate for this, the issue is complicated. Windfarm noise, in particular, may pose health and safety issues that require special treatment of the rights of nearby property owners. State regulation is probably inevitable to resolve issues of local zoning. For example, zoning created to prevent high-rise apartment buildings in rural areas might also restrict windmills. Zoning should not prevent property owners from doing as they wish with their own property, provided they also respect the rights of their neighbors. To the extent possible, the State of NH should be neutral towards windmill and windfarm operation, allowing the market to determine whether this is a profitable source of power. Regarding each point above - A. (subsidies) I don't understand the question. Should NH restrict windfarms if they are too heavily subsidized by other government entities? Maybe. B. Aesthetics. Existing zoning attempts to strike a balance between aesthetics and usefulness. Examples such as cell phone towers, power plant smoke stacks, show how the balance between property utilization and aesthetics can be resolved. Windmills should not be give special treatment, either to encourage (because alternative energy is so important) or discourage (because windmills are particularly ugly) their construction and operation. C. Environmental Impact. Again, Windmills should be treated neutrally. That means plenty of environmental regulations at all levels are going to apply. The state should not be exempting windmills from whatever regulations would apply to any other structure. Windmills do have unique environmental impact concerns, but this needs to be balanced against the rights of property owners to use their land to generate wind power, if that is their wish."

Voted against continuing expanded Medicaid eligibility (HB 1696).

Voted to consider prohibiting sending any state funds to any health care provider that performs abortions, regardless of whether public funds are utilized for that specific service (HB 677).

Opposes adding tolls on I-93 (Mass. Border)

Supports legalizing medicinal marijuana

Opposes expansion of gambling: "I do not believe that the State should be in the business of preventing people from gambling. This also means I am not in favor of laws preventing businesses from offering gambling. However, I do not believe that gambling will be an effective revenue source for the State. In particular, I would be wary of any gambling 'legalization' that involves heavy state regulation and the granting of monopolies to certain favored businesses."

Voted to forbid the use of EBT cards or cash from EBT cards for alcohol, tobacco, gambling, lottery tickets, tattoos, firearms, or adult entertainment (SB 169)
