Position on Issues

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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?

"It is unconstitutional to use public taxpayer dollars for private and parochial school funding. This matter will soon be decided by the courts."

Voting Record, 2026

Voted against several bills that would revise New Hampshire's anti-discrimination law to allow segregation based on biological sex in some settings, including HB 1217, HB 1299, HB 1442, HB 1447, SB 268, and SB 552.

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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

"The decision about medically necessary procedures that affect the health of women should be left to the patient, doctor, the family and the patient's faith. The state should not be in the position to decide health care procedures or decisions that should be left to the patient and professionals."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the second trimester (e.g. after 15 weeks gestation)?

"The decision about medically necessary procedures that affect the health of women should be left to the patient, doctor, the family and the patient's faith. The state should not be in the position to decide health care procedures or decisions that should be left to the patient and professionals."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?

"Against"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?

"New Hampshire Business Profits Tax (BPT) is now 7.5 percent, comparable to our neighboring states, which is down from the 8.5 percent from just a few years ago. There is no need for further decreases. Independent tax policy analysis, the Department of Revenue Administration, and the Legislative Budget Office believe there have been millions of dollars left 'on the table' with no material business expansion in NH. If another cut is implemented, the state of NH will lose $2 billion over the next ten years. Businesses in NH believe the lowing of local property taxes would be much more beneficial, but that is a local decision, not a state one."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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

"With the lack of affordable housing in NH, this should be pursued so that workers of all ages can stay and raise families here in NH."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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?

"For"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire guarantee the right to access abortion before 24 weeks?

"The decision about medically necessary procedures that affect the health of women should be left to the patient, doctor, the family and the patient's faith. The state should not be in the position to decide health care procedures or decisions that should be left to the patient and professionals."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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

"Our system of funding public education has created a real burden on local property taxpayers. Unfortunately, the state of NH has not met its obligation to adequately fund public schools creating an enormous education funding disparity between property rich and property poor towns in New Hampshire. NH must find a more fair and equitable way to fund public education that doesn't continually shift the burden onto local property taxpayers."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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

"The Ways and Means Committee has studied the revenue side of legalizing marijuana and has found in the short term it will cost NH $23 million dollars to set up the infrastructure for sales and it may be at least 6 years before the state receives any revenue from sales. Many studies have shown that the amount of revenue this will generate will have little positive effect on NH state revenues."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by licensing growers and private retail locations?

"The Ways and Means Committee has studied the revenue side of legalizing marijuana and has found in the short term it will cost NH $23 million dollars to set up the infrastructure for sales and it may be at least 6 years before the state receives any revenue from sales. Many studies have shown that the amount of revenue this will generate will have little positive effect on NH state revenues."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by establishing state-run cannabis stores?

"The Ways and Means Committee has studied the revenue side of legalizing marijuana and has found in the short term it will cost NH $23 million dollars to set up the infrastructure for sales and it may be at least 6 years before the state receives any revenue from sales. Many studies have shown that the amount of revenue this will generate will have little positive effect on NH state revenues."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire repeal the ban on abortion after 24 weeks gestation?

"The decision about medically necessary procedures that affect the health of women should be left to the patient, doctor, the family and the patient's faith. The state should not be in the position to decide health care procedures or decisions that should be left to the patient and professionals."

Voting Record, 2026

Voted against capping how much local school districts can increase their budget year to year (HB 675) and voted against requiring a vote on a school district local tax cap at each general election (HB 1300)

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?

"NH police chiefs have been in favor knowing who is a registered gun owner for not only the protection of the owner, but for the protection of police officers as well. This law was changed recently and has created a safety issue for our law enforcement professionals we should consider reinstating that law."
