Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026
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 sounds excellent. Again, I would need to better understand the specifics of how the program works. We want students and parents to be the customers."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"I fully support abortion in the case of risk to the mother. I understand the logic with sexual violence and would be sad but not oppose. I am very troubled by Mass recent approval of abortion up to birth and would vote against a bill of this sort."Undecided| Read My Position

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"First, their are things the state must do and those activities must be funded accordingly. Many surrounding states have the burden of an income tax. NH lack of an income tax acts as a check on runaway spending. Even if the state collected twice as much revenue, we could find a way to spend it all and more. Adding an income tax would also increase complexity and allow for 'opaque' budget discussion."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"Business is the engine that creates wealth. In general, an entrepreneur will be a better allocator of resources than the state to meet citizens diverse needs. I believe this is mostly due to the incentive structures in place and and the significant cost of failure for business owners."Undecided| Read My Position

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"In towns should be in control of local zoning to the greatest degree possible. If Windham wants to develop differently than Nashua the state should not be able to force a one size policy. However, large projects (nuclear power, airports, etc.) should have some type of state input. We learned in southern New Hampshire that environmental impacts (PFAS) don't stop at a town line."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?
"My first engineering job was in a Nuclear power plant. Demand for electricity is increasing across the world and the demand does not seem to be slowing down. Nuclear power is the only method I am aware of which has a clear runway to providing cheap, abundant, baseload, power."Other| 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?
"I would be willing to consider this if it is proven it does not increase costs to non-participating residents. The homes without solar should not be forced to subsidize others participation in the program. If this was cost effective, I don't see why the utility would need to be forced to expand the service."Undecided| Read My Position

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"Spending and funding is best at as local level as possible. I understand the impact on home values for good schools, and I believe individual towns can make this decision themselves. Also, filtering the funds through the state adds cost and does not increase the total size of the pie."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?
"While not a fan personally, I again support a persons freedom. I think the idea of having the state manage the sale similar to alcohol has some merit. I will need to think about this in greater detail."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire allow at least 10% of students in each school district to enroll in a different public school, regardless of where they live?

Should state law cap how much local school districts can increase their budget each year?
"I am in general in favor of controls on spending increases. Their would need to be some very serious thought into how student demand maps to school spending. If a community doubles in size they would be in a different situation than one which is shrinking."Against| Read My Position

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"I am pro second amendment and the right of the average citizen to defend themselves. I firmly believe the best counter to bad guy with a gun is a community of good guys with a gun. Just the idea that people can defend themselves can act as a deterrent."
