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?
"All tax dollars should follow the student and not follow the governmental entity. Let the student and their parents determine what is the best fit for themselves."

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"One should be aware that in New Hampshire, unlike nearly every other State, currently there are absolutely no regulations on abortion facility regarding training, continuing education, follow-up post abortion, cleanliness standards. Providers can legal use unlicensed personnel to do that type of abdominal surgery. Thus, without some sort of medical protections for women, I cannot support enshrining abortion in NH. As the Princeton and so many other academic studies have repeatedly asserted, life begins at conception. The point the too many forget is that individual responsibility is the cornerstone of the phrase 'My Body, My Choice.' Individual responsibility means you, individually, make decisions for your self. When a third party is involved the rights of the third party need to be considered. If conception endangers the physical life of a woman, or when the pregnancy is extra-uteral (and thus nonviable in nearly 100% of cases), then the decision is between the woman, the baby's father and their medical advisors."

Should New Hampshire add a fee or mileage charge for electric vehicle owners to help pay for transportation and/or electric infrastructure?
"In Committee we heard a host of EV owners state that they already paid higher electric rates than their neighbors because of their personal choice to drive their car. When asked how the State would pay for maintaining an anti-theft registry or maintain the miles of paved highways the response was inevitably; 'let someone else pay for my use of the public roads!' Let each user of the highway system pay their fair share."

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?
"My grandfather was born in 1900 and was just a teen when cannabis was made illegal. His comment, when confronted with some in the family was 'looks like the stuff I smoked behind the barn as a kid.' I would also note that the word 'marijuana' is a racist term created specifically to demonize Hispanics and should never be used."

Should the state permanently increase how much tax revenue it shares with towns and cities every year, beyond public school funding?

Do you support the state’s current system of public school funding, with each district’s total funding primarily dependent on local property tax revenue?
"Localities should be able to set their own spending levels. At the same time School Districts should be forced to cooperate with town/city management to reduce costs on things like, garbage removal, snow removal, purchasing supplies. Too often, even in Hudson, the two entities operate separately from one another to the detriment of tax payers."
