"Jason does not support any sales or income tax. That includes the sales and income taxes we have today. That 9% you pay the state for the privilege of eating a meal is a sales tax, whether they call it one or not. The tax you pay the state on your interest and dividends every year is an income tax. The .75 per cent tax your employer pays on your wages is an income tax, whether they call it one or not. This is your money and you deserve to keep it. Jason will fight to put it back into your pocket."

Voting Record, 2026
In 2025 and 2026 Rep. Osborne voted against increasing base per-pupil state school funding (HB 651 and HB 1826). Rep. Osborne then voted to establish a tax cap for local school districts (HB 675). Rep. Osborne also voted against 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. Osborne voted for HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.

"Bill after bill comes before the New Hampshire Congress to abridge and infringe on the rights of our citizens. The first and second amendments state very clearly that the rights of the people are owned by them. Jason will oppose any such bill seeking to infringe upon our rights and will support any bill seeking to repeal existing infringements."
