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?

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"NH has already decreased business taxes (Business profits tax and Business Enterprise taxes) too much. The benefits have gone to large businesses and corporations not small businesses.

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"NH has a terrible history regarding school funding. Public schools have historically opened opportunities to all and reduced wealth inequality. They are now being pushed towards extinction in favor of unregulated private schools and home schooling. The failure of the state to meet its obligations has been a prime cause of increased local property taxes."For| 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?

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
