"Against"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?

"NH has lowered business taxes several times in recent years. I am wary of further tax cuts, particularly when business taxes support education, which in turn helps reduce property taxes paid by businesses and residential property owners."

Was New Hampshire right to continue expanded Medicaid eligibility, using the traditional Medicaid system of managed care instead of private insurance?

"I support expanded Medicaid eligibility, using the traditional Medicaid system of managed care instead of private insurance."

Candidate's Facebook Page, 2017

"If elected, I will fight to protect our state's Medicaid expansion and push for a $15 minimum wage."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?

"I support a tiered increase to $15 an hour over 2-3 years. At that point, the minimum wage should be indexed to inflation. Maine, Mass. and Vermont all have higher minimum wages than NH, and all had similar, or lower, unemployment rates than NH before the COVID-19 pandemic hit."

Candidate's Facebook Page, 2017

"I support additional state funding to reduce New Hampshire college costs and will oppose efforts to restrict access to the ballot box."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2018

Is police brutality an issue in NH?

"I don't have enough information about police brutality in New Hampshire to answer. Broadly speaking, I believe body cameras are a good idea to protect police officers and the public."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Do you support Gov. Sununu's proposal to allow employers and employees to opt-in to a private, paid family and medical leave insurance plan, based on a pool of state employees, excluding coverage for personal illness?

"There is nothing stopping NH employers from offering a privately-run paid family/medical leave program to their workers. Most don't, and nothing about the governor's plan would change that dynamic."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire continue to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, which requires utilities to purchase allowances for every ton of carbon they emit?

"For"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire create a road usage fee?

"Road usage fees are likely how cities and states will pay for road projects in the long term as more motorists buy hybrid or electric vehicles, which reduce gas tax revenues. The concept is sound. But bills aimed at creating a road usage fee in NH have been flawed. I would consider other strategies to enact a road usage fee that does not punish owners of hybrid or electric vehicles."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2018

Should New Hampshire government do more to increase the supply of affordable housing?

"New Hampshire government should do more to increase the supply of affordable housing."

Other, 2018

"Yes. When taking care of a sick loved one, recovering from a medical emergency or nurturing a new baby, people in our state should not need to worry about losing their jobs or paying the bills. I supported the bipartisan family leave bill that passed the House last year, and will do so again if re-elected.

"That plan was optional for workers, paid for through payroll deductions of about $5 a week and came with no cost to businesses. I hope we can improve the bill in the coming months to provide up to 12 weeks rather than six weeks of annual leave."

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

"I am generally supportive but would need to see the details of any proposal before definitely supporting."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire add tax incentives for affordable housing development?

"I was the prime sponsor of HB 1248 in 2020. It would expand an existing property tax incentive program available to cities and towns for developments that contain affordable housing units. It received broad bipartisan support, but failed to advance in the Senate during the COVID-19 shortened session."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire allocate tax revenues for private and home schooling costs?

"Such a shift would reduce state aid to school districts. That, in turn, would lead to higher property taxes and reduced public school funding. These are the reasons this proposal failed in 2018 when Republicans controlled the House and Senate."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2018

Should NH impose strict residency requirements on registering to vote?

"New Hampshire has long required proof of residency to vote here. Recent changes in state law will result in qualified residents being disenfranchised. We should make it easier, not harder, for people to participate in our elections."
