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?
"This program, as currently conceived, has no accountability or limits to number of students enrolled or the ability of their parents to pay for a non-public school education. It is a drain on the income for local schools and the money must be made up by local property taxpayers."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law allow segregation based on biological sex in some settings, such as bathrooms and locker rooms?

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

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"A broad-based income tax should be available as a revenue stream, but only if needed. The income tax would be progressive with residents having earned income under the State median income exempt from the tax."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"Large businesses should pay their fair share for the services they receive from the State. Smaller, mom and pop businesses would either be exempt of pay at a lower rate than larger businesses"For| Read My Position

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"Encourage, yes. Mandate, NO!. One size fits all zoning does not work and does not increase the amount of affordable housing in the state. The state can best encourage more housing by incentivizing affordable housing development, decreasing and expediting burdensome state-level regulation, working to increase the number of students going into building trades, offering financial incentives to first-time buyers and developers of affordable and work-force housing."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?
"New Hampshire should not be a guinea pig for this unproven electrical generation platform. Existing legislation exempts these power sources from all regulation which is unwise for an unproven technology."For| Read My Position

Do you support legislation to expand the net energy metering system capacity cap from 1 MW to 5 MW for all residential and commercial customers in New Hampshire?

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"The state needs to pay for a much larger share of public school funding in order to reduce the unsustainable burden on local property tax payers. This will require restoration of taxes which have recently been reduced or eliminated and may require new revenue streams. New Hampshire should not be at the bottom of states in their contribution to public school funding."For| 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 NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"Preserving Second Amendment rights is important, but must be balanced with the need to maintain public safety. Automatic and semi-automatic weapons should be banned along with concealed carry."
