In 2025 and 2026 Rep. Gilmore voted to consider increasing base per-pupil state school funding (HB 1826). Rep. Gilmore then voted against establishing a tax cap for local school districts (HB 675). Rep. Gilmore also voted to consider HB 1799, which would have redefined an "adequate education," increased how much funding the state must provide per pupil, and created a commission to study alternative methods of funding public schools besides property taxes. Lastly, Rep. Gilmore voted against HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.

"In 1990 I sponsored an assault-style weapons ban after a teen girl was murdered in Milford. My views remain unchanged, just as the senseless deaths of our children have continued unabated."
