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?
"I reject the use of taxpayer funds to support private education. Parents certainly have the right to send their children to private schools; however, they are not entitled to taxpayer support to do so."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law allow segregation based on biological sex in some settings, such as bathrooms and locker rooms?
"Limiting where and when a person uses the toilet serves no societal purpose. Equating a person's biological sex with deviant sexual behavior is cruel and discriminatory."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"The previous tax cut has not been effective. Consider this data: Business Formations: Nationally, new business applications surged. However, New Hampshire was one of the few states to record sharp declines in business formations through 2025 (https://www.registeredagentsinc.com/business-filing-report/april-2025/)."For| Read My Position

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"I believe the state can incentivize municipalities to change zoning laws; however, I do not support a punitive approach to local zoning issues."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?
"The primary issue is the length of time from conception to implementation. Small modular reactors take an average of 8-10 years from proposal to completion. In the interim, solar and wind projects can be completed in 12-18 months. I propose the state move forward on SMR's while continuing to incentivize renewable projects."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?

Should New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"This is important to ensure local control of schools. What is important is rebalancing the state's tax structure by rescinding the corporate tax cut and having the state resume its previous level of education funding."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire repeal the ban on abortion after 24 weeks gestation?
"The reason to permit pregnancy termination after 24 weeks is a medically supported position. There are fetal developmental problems that become apparent in late term that make the fetus unviable, such as anencephaly, where the baby is developing without a significant portion of the brain. The condition is fatal, meaning the baby dies upon birth. Forcing a mother to take a child with these types of issues is cruel and serves no purpose. These decisions belong between a woman and her doctor."Against| Read My Position

Should state law cap how much local school districts can increase their budget each year?

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"Our current gun laws are consistent with federal law and should remain so."
