These objective, nonpartisan measures are used to show this legislator's activities at the Statehouse in 2025. The measures are not intended to present a ranking or rating of any kind. Average is that of all state elected officials in this chamber. Gov. Ayotte is still in the process of signing and vetoing 2025 bills, so the number of prime sponsored bills that became law may increase.

Position on Issues

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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?

"Local government should work to find the best possible manner of education for each student. No two students learn exactly alike. EFAs allow students to seek out and obtain the educational format that helps them best succeed."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?

"Frankly, the decision regarding an abortion comes down to a simile question: Do you respect life? If you respect life; if your parents raised you to respect life; if you care about human life you are against abortion."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the second trimester (e.g. after 15 weeks gestation)?

"Frankly, the decision regarding an abortion comes down to a simile question: Do you respect life? If you respect life; if your parents raised you to respect life; if you care about human life you are against abortion."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?

"Against"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should NH add a broad-based sales tax?

"Against"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?

"To make the primary tax payer base more broad would help NH weather the coming downturn and lessen the impact."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire add a tax on capital gains?

"Against"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?

"The climate changes -- constantly. Humans adapt to changing weather patters every year. When one hears alarmists say 'the earth is warming', the question should be asked: 'compared to when? Over the last hundred rears there has been a modest increase by many, not all, reproducible inquiries. Over the last 2000 years, the earth is cooling. In the 1970s the people were told an ice age was coming, with scientific proof -- didn't happen. Al Gore said the earth was warming in the 1990s and the would be no ice at the North Pole -- didn't happen."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Do you support giving voters who register without ID on Election Day a ballot that only counts if they return identifying documents to the state before a deadline?

"You need an ID to do everything, so an ID for the vitally important action of voting is just commonsense. Perhaps those that say otherwise have such a low opinion of 'others' they demand they be treated with coddling disdain?"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?

"The best government is local government. Let each location decide zoning, but never let zoning deprive a person of their property and pursuit of happiness."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

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?

"Depends on the wording of the law and ability of the rate-payer to recoup expenses."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire guarantee the right to access abortion before 24 weeks?

"Frankly, the decision regarding an abortion comes down to a simile question: Do you respect life? If you respect life; if your parents raised you to respect life; if you care about human life you are against abortion."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?

"This is an overly broad question. The answer lies in what is considered the funding source. Direct funding from a business via tax credits for employees is far different that just giving away unrestricted monies."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?

"Local control is a vital part of local government. If a town wants to pay $XXX,XXX.xx per year for a new teacher, that is up to them to decide. In addition, a property tax is something everyone pays. A homeowner pays directly, a renter pays through his or her portion of the rent."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?

"The use of the term 'marijuana' is worrisome to me. That is a racists term developed in the late 19 and early 20th centuries to denigrate Hispanic workers. Cannabis is an intoxicant much like alcohol and should be treated much the same way. Public use (outside of a restaurant, bar) should be prohibited. Driving under the influence of anything, including prescription medicines, cough syrup, even coffee, is already illegal in NH. Our laws regulate the operation of the vehicle, not the level of whatever in one's system."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by licensing growers and private retail locations?

"The use of the term 'marijuana' is worrisome to me. That is a racists term developed in the late 19 and early 20th centuries to denigrate Hispanic workers. Cannabis is an intoxicant much like alcohol and should be treated much the same way. Public use (outside of a restaurant, bar) should be prohibited. Driving under the influence of anything, including prescription medicines, cough syrup, even coffee, is already illegal in NH. Our laws regulate the operation of the vehicle, not the level of whatever in one's system."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by establishing state-run cannabis stores?

"The use of the term 'marijuana' is worrisome to me. That is a racists term developed in the late 19 and early 20th centuries to denigrate Hispanic workers. Cannabis is an intoxicant much like alcohol and should be treated much the same way. Public use (outside of a restaurant, bar) should be prohibited. Driving under the influence of anything, including prescription medicines, cough syrup, even coffee, is already illegal in NH. Our laws regulate the operation of the vehicle, not the level of whatever in one's system."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?

"CA, WA, OR increased their minimum wages and the entry level jobs immediately fell away. Too many businesses just plain quit because the employment tax was too much for them to eek out even a 2% profit margin."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire add legal protections for residents of other states who travel here for health care related to abortion or gender transition?

"That is a non-issue. If someone comes to NH for a legal procedure there is no need for a law saying they are 'protected'. That is because the procedure is legal, so trying to make it an issue is just demagoguery!"

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should New Hampshire repeal the ban on abortion after 24 weeks gestation?

"Frankly, the decision regarding an abortion comes down to a simile question: Do you respect life? If you respect life; if your parents raised you to respect life; if you care about human life you are against abortion."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should NH require local law enforcement to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement?

"The States are designed to work with the federal government on those few areas where the federal government has supremacy. MOUs and honoring requests by ICE or CBP is part of federalism."

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2024

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?

"NH is consistently ranked as one of the safest States in the nation!"
