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?
"I do not support the current system. It has gotten way out of hand and is robbing much needed funds from the majority of students in our state. This program needs to be remodeled and aligned with responsible economic decisions for the majority of New Hampshire students and families."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"A women's health is the number one concern. Her physician and health care provider serve to best assess what is needed. Policy and law makers do not get to make that decision. If a women requires an abortion due to health concerns then any of the restrictions would hinder her health."Undecided| Read My Position

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"Currently our citizens are overtaxed at the property level, adding a new tax will only hurt the working and middle class. New Hampshire's families need money in their pocketbook for groceries, energy, and basic household needs."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"Revenue can only come from so many places, New Hampshire tax payers are stretched thin. Business tax is a way to support the working and middle class. Small businesses should not be taxed if they make below $200,000."Other| Read My Position

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"Again, I am strong supporter of local control. The state can make it easier, but we need to be cautious of zoning decisions based on housing that is not affordable for the average family. Changing zoning can lead to more houses, but not affordable houses."Other| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?
"As an environmental educator who is extremely concerned with climate change I see responsible nuclear as a CO2 free system. However, there are issues with the waste. We do need to consider what this might look like and the long term consequences."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?
"Yes, New Hampshire needs revenue for our public schools and other important efforts. We should start reinvesting in our families and local townships. Revenue from the wealthiest share holders supports these efforts."Other| 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?
"Traditionally local towns paid and supported public schools, however due to increasing costs of energy, transportation, infrastructure, and salaries it has become impossible for towns to keep up without increasing property taxes. This is not sustainable. We need to address this issue and create a sustainable system that supplements the local tax system."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?
"There should be no legislation on open enrollment. The state has over stepped its boundary on this issue. Trying to micromanage local decisions is not the 'New Hampshire' way. The persistent clamor and redesign of the law is a waste of energy - manipulation to get something through has been an endless fight. New Hampshire has clearly stated it does not want legislation of any kind on open enrollment."Undecided| Read My Position
