Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

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?

On the 2020 Citizens Count survey, Perkins Kwoka wrote, "As a green energy lawyer, I work in renewable energy every day. Our green energy future is in reach - where there is a political will, there is a way to achieve this. We do not need to be the only state in New England losing jobs from our solar workforce. We can see success in this field if we successfully reform net metering, which will also be a win for our small businesses by creating predictability of pricing."

Voting Record, 2025

Sen. Perkins Kwoka voted to consider HB 88 (2023), SB 181 (2023), and SB 260 (2025). All of those bills would prohibit any new state restrictions on abortion, without changing the current ban on abortion after 24-weeks and the requirement for parental notification before a minor's abortion.

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by licensing growers and private retail locations?

When asked about marijuana legalization in general on the 2020 Citizens Count issue survey, Kwoka wrote, "I understand the racist history of the war of drugs, as well as the tax revenue possibilities of the cannabis industry. I also know that many people link marijuana to other more dangerous drugs and the opioid epidemic, which is not corroborated by scientific evidence. Therefore, I support a pathway to marijuana legalization that includes decriminalization, expungement of marijuana-related charges, and an information campaign about marijuana and its relationship to other drugs."

Voting Record, 2024

Voted to legalize marijuana with state-run stores and a 15% tax on gross revenue (HB 1633)

Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2020
