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?
"This program is a sham- it is part of a movement to erode public education by draining public funds away from public education.I would be a strong voice to remove this program."

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"A woman's body and a woman's right to chose when to be a parent or not. As a rape survivor, if I had become pregnant as a result, I would not be agreeable to someone else making a decision about my body and what course of action to take. We need to make have a New Hampshire Roe law and permanent. We need to protect al women but most certainly women living in poverty.Our choices for our bodies in my mind is a fight we must engage in and be diligent in that fight."

Should New Hampshire ban discussions about sexual orientation and gender identity in grades K-3?
"As a veteran school counselor, K-12, I know first-hand that children need safe places to be themselve, and talk about themselves and their families without judgement. If we are to be truly inclusive, we need for children to be able to talk to educators about anything they need to without restrictions."

Do you support the state law that bans teaching certain concepts, such as the idea that people may be "inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously"?
"I do not believe that hiding authentic history. Educators need to be able to teach the truth about history without any fear of being reported, fined or potentially losing their credentials.As a Holocaust Fellow (Keene State Cohen Center), I am opposed to any law that bans the right to 'tell the truth'."

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"While the citizens seem to still be opposed to this, there needs to be an open discussion about how to generate substantial revenue to provide property tax relief as many are being strangled financially. No avenue should be ignored, researched or ruled out just because it is not currently in place."

No avenue should be ignored, researched or ruled out just because it is not currently in place. New Hampshire has many, many taxes and they all need to be reviewed with new eyes and open minds."

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"This is an area that need thoughtful conversations. If we are going to encourage small and large businesses to provide paid sick leave and other needed benefits, we need to assist them in lowering their taxes. However, the demand for businesses to provide worker rights and benefits needs to be tied to this and monitored for sustainability."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"I want to have a conversation about why every single public school and municipal building does not have solar panels. What can we do as a state to encourage and support this. Not only would it be smart, it would stimulate job growth in a good paying field."

Should New Hampshire add a fee or mileage charge for electric vehicle owners to help pay for transportation and/or electric infrastructure?

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
"I do not believe that $15.00/hour is enough but it is a starting point. And overdue, we are slow to respond to the financial needs of our citizens. Helping to raise people out of poverty and being able to earn a living wage improved attitudes and the ability to care for oneself and our families. We should never be satisfied with anyone being classified as 'working poor'."

"With the surpluses we are seeing, we need to be more equitable in the distribution of financial support across the state. The downshifting of costs to local towns and cities needs to stop."

Do you support the state’s current system of public school funding, with each district’s total funding primarily dependent on local property tax revenue?
"Our public school funding is a broken system that has never worked. Public funds should not be paying for vouchers, private or religious schools. Children are suffering and if they live in a poorer community, their education is not funded adequately. Their rights to a free and appropriate education need to be the most important, the top priority, of any service in our state. We need an educated population to promote and maintain a heightened state of wellness and satisfaction for all who live in New Hampshire no matter of their zip code."
