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?

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?

"These questions are binary and the solutions are more nuanced. I support reducing the number of abortions and that can be achieved through education and access to birth control. I am against the overturning of Roe v Wade. It is not my place as a man to tell women what to do with their bodies. Better sex education and access to birth control gives young women the agency over their lives that they deserve."
