Should New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law allow segregation based on biological sex in some settings, such as bathrooms and locker rooms?
"Requiring separate facilities is expensive and problematic for small businesses and small organizations. We have uni-sex bathrooms in our homes. As long as the door closes, why would it matter what sex you are?"Against| 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?
"This is a funding issue. After serving 18 years on a public-school board, I understand how difficult it is to budget. Allowing Open Enrollment makes it even more unpredictable.
