Clarification of some of my answers.
Mon, 09/10/2018 - 10:59am
I answered a lot of questionnaires over the past few months. I don't remember the wording of some of the questions. As such there were some questions where I answered "Undecided". Partially because I want to see and read legislation that makes sense for all of our community.
I am a leading Transgender advocate. I have been open with people about me being a transgender Woman. But, I am not running my campaign on my gender status. I am running on my ability to represent all of the people in our community. I was a member of the Freedom NH steering committee as well as the Freedom to Marry Coalition and have been fighting for LGBT rights for over 10 years. I will support any legislation that will benefit the LGBT Community or any disenfranchised community.
I Support women's rights to healthcare and abortion services, if that is what they feel they need. I personally am not a fan of abortion, but I have directed a friend and her teenage daughter to Planned parenthood years ago, because of their family situation. I support the Roe v. Wade decision. A woman should and must have the right to decide what is right for her healthcare. I don't feel that we should be dictating how a woman takes care of her needs in our legislature.
I am all for Affordable housing and am currently working with a homeless person, who has been living in my home for a year and a half. He is currently working with the Somersworth Housing authority to find a place to live. I think that we need to put more thought into how we should be implementing low cost housing options so that people don't take advantage of the system and we end up not having enough housing for people that really need it. BTW. In 2009, when my Carpentry business failed in Merrimack, NH the bank almost foreclosed on my home. I sold the home at a loss and then Started driving big trucks and living out of an 18 wheeler for almost 5 years. I know what being homeless means. My address was a P.O. box.
I don't like to answer questionnaires that have Yes, No or Undecided answers on the form. I would rather share my thoughts with people. I also would like people to share their thoughts with me. I want to represent the people in my community. I want people to tell me how they feel about issues that affect us all. I won't always have the answers, but I will stand up for my community.
