History

Position on Issues

"Education Freedom Account" program
For| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

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?

"Education freedom for all. While all families continue to pay property taxes for their local public schools, these same public schools may be a poor fit for those families. Education Freedom Accounts allow qualifying families choose the education that best fits their children *without* additionally driving up property taxes."

Undecided| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?

"We need to re-build a culture of motherhood in NH, supports families in need, and opens up more opportunities for adoption-ready families. Strong families will grow the NH advantage."

For| Read My Position

Against| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

"Against"

Business tax decrease
For| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?

"NH should be the most attractive state for business in New England, incentivizing local start-ups and inviting established businesses. In turn, NH increases employment opportunities, wages, and addresses--long-term--a wide range of affordability issues. As local businesses prosper, tax revenue for NH also increases, as we have seen over the last decade."

"Against"

Climate change action
Other| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Conditional, affidavit ballots for new voters
For| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

"No registration should be approved without ID. Ballots counted on election day that cannot be verified by ID should be removed."

Encourage local zoning changes for housing development
Other| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

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

"Local control is a historical NH value. While this should remain the case, unreasonable zoning restrictions should be reviewed. The State has an obligation to ensure local property owners are protected from local overreach and able to use their land as appropriate."

Encourage nuclear development
No Response

Other| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Majority of public school funding through local property taxes
For| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?

"Local control allows better transparency and accountability for school districts. Increased State funding opens a Pandora’s Box toward greater State control as well as new threats of tax revenue via increased property taxes and income tax."

Marijuana legalization with home-growing, no sales
Against| Read My Position

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026

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

"The THC levels in many marijuana strains--available for home grown use--have increased up to sixteen fold since the 1970s, making it more both more impairing and addictive. Without safeguarding and regulating the effects on public health and safety, as legalized states have now deemed necessary, a carte blanche approval even for home grown use would be unwise."

Minimum wage increase
Against| Read My Position
