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?

Do you support giving voters who register without ID on Election Day a ballot that only counts if they return identifying documents to the state before a deadline?
"I worked at several elections in Dover's Ward 5 before being elected as the Moderator in 2021, a role I continue to serve in. I have seen first-hand the impact of these efforts underway to restrict access to voting. The fraud that this is supposed to eliminate does not exist, and it presents an undue burden on both the voters and the poll workers to administer."

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"New Hampshire's school funding approach has been repeatedly found by courts to be in violation of the state constitution, primarily by underfunding on a per-pupil basis and by allowing richer towns to withhold their share of education-related property taxes from poorer towns. Ending this application of SWEPT tax in its non-uniform manner would significantly improve the funding of our public school system."
