"In regard to the opioid crisis, New Hampshire should continue its policy of trying out a diverse and innovative range of programs and strengthen those that provide evidence of success. An example of this is the Recovery Friendly Workplace. Obviously, prevention, treatment and recovery programs are all necessary components that need to be addressed."

"NH is currently considering the legalization of marijuana. One thing we know is that in the legalized states of Alaska, Colorado, Oregon and Washington, the average rate of regular teen marijuana use is 30% higher than the national rate (National Survey on Drug Use and Health). Given our current substance abuse crisis, why would we want to give our teens the idea that drug use is 'no big deal' and make drugs easier to access? The marijuana business markets toward youth, particularly with edibles. In fact, states that have legalized marijuana have seen increased ER visits due from children eating edibles that look like candy. New Hampshire has a Medical Marijuana program for those with an illness. Possession for personal use has been decriminalized. Let's stop there."

"It is important to have the best public schools possible and equally important to provide the best education for each individual student. If public school is not the best fit for a child, families should be allowed the opportunity to choose the education system that will best lead to that child's success. This should be an option for every family, not just those that have the most resources. An educational choice program will allow families access to education that will lead to the future prosperity of their child with no increase in cost to taxpayers."
