"On Friday our Supreme Court made a decision that should have been done long ago. Even through relentless attacks by the left and encouraged by democratic leaders, they stood strong and did the right thing. Abortion is not a constitutional guaranteed right and it should be left up to individual states to legislate their own laws.

"I am excited at the opportunity ahead as NH will undoubtedly look to legislate much tougher abortion laws. We have seen in the past that our governor is much closer to being pro abortion rather than against it. As a pro life candidate I will be voting against the governor and trying to override his veto."

Drago 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. Drago voted for HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.

"This fall any candidate elected should be one who will defend our constitution locally and nationally. Joe Biden admitted some of his executive orders are unconstitutional, but he hoped they would have the desired outcome before they were struck down. My hope is that all the new candidates will do the exact opposite of this.

"This is why the second amendment is so important. As a state rep the only laws I would help pass are ones that strengthen our second amendment. This isn’t because I value the right to own a gun over religion or free speech. It’s because the right to own a gun guarantees these other rights.

"Our founding fathers did not put the second amendment in to protect us from one another or to hunt. They created it as a safe guard to an out of control government that is no longer for its people."
