UNIVERSAL SCHOOL CHOICE!"

On the 2024 Granite State Taxpayers Survey, Farrington answered "Yes" to the question, "Will you support reducing business taxes and regulations to encourage economic development and business retention?" He added, "We should continue to reduce the BET and BPT for these reasons. Lower taxes will allow businesses to invest in the long run. In return, profits will increase, and the state may even collect more revenue."

Candidate's Website, 2024
"The border crisis is a top issue for many of the voters that I speak to. While it may seem like a distant problem, illegal immigrants are an imminent threat to the Granite State because Massachusetts is welcoming them. For the sake of our safety, I draw the line and demand that the law be followed. I support legislation that bans sanctuary cities. I will never provide illegals with any sort of government funding, and I will fight to prevent illegals from obtaining driver's licenses. My number one priority related to the border is securing our Northern border by enabling law enforcement with the appropriate resources."
