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?
"Charter and Private schools are becoming more and more popular due to persistent public school concerns. Our role is not to dictate where parents educate their kids, but to provide fair (equitable) resources to kids regardless which education path they choose."

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"This is a complex issue. It is not purely about choices or rights! These must also be a clause for exceptions...those we can think of now, and those we haven't thought of yet."

Do you support the state law that bans teaching certain concepts, such as the idea that people may be "inherently racist, sexist, or oppressive, whether consciously or unconsciously"?
"This depends on age, and how it's approached. This is totally unnecessary in K-4 at least. In higher grades, this could naturally be taught in conjunction with history courses, but does not need to be a main focus or primary topic itself. NO child of ANY age should be made to feel superior, inferior, or guilty by course material, and NO child should be told they are racist, sexist, or an oppressor!"

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"I have been an oceanographer and meteorologist for 30+ years. Climate change is a serious and undeniable issue. Sadly, those with agendas on both the left and right push talking points that are inconsistent with most of the science. The left pushes the Green New Deal and other legislation that is more focused on social agendas and virtue signaling than solving the climate problem. Meanwhile, many on the right deny the issue by recycling thoroughly debunked talking points. We need to enact bi-partisan solutions that supports communities and local economies while reducing emissions - not creating economic hardships or social stigmas."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"Like most issues, this one DEPENDS on what state actions are envisioned, and how they are proposed and enacted. This may vary from town to town. The state should not prevent towns from making decisions in the best long-term interests of their town needs, while respecting natural areas, wetlands, etc."

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
"I'll support a modest raise, as $7.25 (same as federal) is a bit of a joke. This is more of a state issue than a federal issue. I do NOT think the minimum wage was intended to support a family, and there's a delicate balance in not making it too hard for small businesses to hire additional personnel. I would certainly support $10-$11/hr."

Should the state permanently increase how much tax revenue it shares with towns and cities every year, beyond public school funding?
"This depends on the specifics of the proposal/s. How much $$? How would it be split across towns/cities? Would it be for pre-defined uses (e.g. schools)? etc..."

Do you support the state’s current system of public school funding, with each district’s total funding primarily dependent on local property tax revenue?
"I'm not opposed to additional funding and funding sources for schools. At the same time, it is healthy to audit school district records, and compare student performance and cost across various districts. Looking across school districts may reveal 'best practice' ideas, along with lessons learned the hard way."
