"I have always opposed and will continue to oppose any broad-based sales or income tax of any kind. Our lack of a sales or income tax is the cornerstone of New Hampshire's advantage over our high-tax New England neighbors. They have gone down the road of broad-based taxes and in the long-run their property taxes are almost as high as ours and they do not get better services from their state governments."For| Read My Position

In 2025 and 2026 Rep. Mooney voted against increasing base per-pupil state school funding (HB 651 and HB 1826). Rep. Mooney then voted to establish a tax cap for local school districts (HB 675). Rep. Mooney also voted against HB 1799, which would have redefined an "adequate education," increased how much funding the state must provide per pupil, and created a commission to study alternative methods of funding public schools besides property taxes. Lastly, Rep. Mooney voted for HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.

Candidate's Website, 2014
"I strongly support the individual Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms, which we have enshrined in Part First, Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution. As a legislator, I have consistently voted to protect Second Amendment rights. I have taken and will continue to take this one step further by sponsoring and voting for measures designed to enhance this important, fundamental individual right. For example, I have voted for Vermont-style open carry laws and other measures. We have to remember that with this important right comes the equally important responsibility of all gun owners to practice common-sense gun safety and learn to properly use firearms. This means protecting and encouraging the operation of shooting ranges, gun clubs, and other opportunities to develop gun skills."
