Position on Issues

Candidate's Website, 2018

"I believe in the right to bear arms and the right to protect oneself and one's family. I don't believe that more laws restricting gun ownership do anything to deter crime or stop violent acts. Gun control only helps criminals by disarming everyone else. Every heinous mass murder was perpetrated by someone who broke many laws in the first place, so one more law will not matter, nor will it prevent these horrific crimes. Statistics prove that places with more gun control laws have more gun crime, and places with less gun control laws are safer. Furthermore, when horrific acts like Newtown or Parkland happen, it is always the people who did not pull the trigger that are punished with bans and other harsh and ridiculous restrictions. That to me is not only unfair, but immoral. There are other effective solutions to gun crime and mass shootings. Banning firearms, restricting firearms use and requiring more registration or reporting are not effective solutions."

Candidate's Website, 2018

"New Hampshire already has enough revenue being generated through property tax and other fees. The State needs to quell its growing appetite for spending and use the money from its income streams more efficiently. The problem isn't that we don't have enough money. The problem is that we are spending it in the wrong areas, or spending it inefficiently. We don't need KENO schemes or to comply with complicated federal government handout programs. We need to be prudent with our money just like every New Hampshire family that deals with their own family budget."
