Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2026
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?
"No more public dollars to pay rich kid's private school tuition while public schools cut services and can't pay teachers a living wage. I support abolishing the EFA program but, failing that, we need to set common-sense guardrails on this wasteful, unaccountable school voucher scheme."Against| Read My Position

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"We've cut corporate taxes over and over and over again over the course of the last fifteen years. It hasn't delivered the growth, jobs, or wages that were promised. We were lied to. We can make big corporations pay their fair share while protecting NH small businesses."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?
"SMRs are years or decades away from deployment. Constructing new nuclear reactors is wildly expensive. I am for nuclear generation continuing to be a meaningful part of our energy mix but it is not the answer for lowering costs and any investments we make need to be both carefully targeted and part of a larger energy strategy."For| Read My Position

Do you support legislation to expand the net energy metering system capacity cap from 1 MW to 5 MW for all residential and commercial customers in New Hampshire?
"Clean energy generated right here in NH is cheaper than importing it from out-of-state. We should be encouraging the development of distributed energy resources and expanded net metering is just a small part of that."For| Read My Position

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"The state has abdicated its constitutional obligation to pay its fair share toward public education. We need to increase adequacy funds and give local property taxpayers a break."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire require new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote?
"These measures aren't designed to deter voter fraud. They're designed to deter voting. Adding unnecessary hurdles for voters is anti-democratic and disproportionately impacts those who don't have the time or the money to jump through hoops just to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Our system was perfectly adequate to ensure only those who are eligible to vote cast a ballot before we started passing these voter suppression bills."Against| Read My Position

Should state law cap how much local school districts can increase their budget each year?
"This is an issue that needs to be decided in our communities, not at the State House. This measure is a transparent election year stunt meant to confuse voters and further undermine public schools. This mandate won't lower property taxes but it will negatively impact our kids."For| Read My Position

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"I am a gun owner who acknowledges and respects that we have a duty to uphold the rights granted to our citizens by both our federal and state constitutions. There are common-sense steps we can take to decrease gun violence while doing so and I support many of them - such as universal background checks, extreme risk protection orders, waiting periods, and safe storage laws."
