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?
"The long term solution that benefits the most people (what governments should strive for) is probably making our public schools strong and well-funded and desirable. We had good public schools when I was a kid, we can have them again."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law allow segregation based on biological sex in some settings, such as bathrooms and locker rooms?
"Weird wording on this question. In general, all adult people know which bathroom is appropriate for them to use. In a world of much bigger problems (wealth inequality, housing access, food security, job security, federal government overreach, climate change) what bathroom people use is an absolute non-issue."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"Just as I do not wish the State to ever come between me and a life-saving medical procedure, I would not dare to tell an adult woman what she could or could not do with her own body and life. It's crazy to have to say in 2026, but women should have the same medical rights as men."Against| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"Businesses, like people, benefit from a well-functioning government and well-funded public services. First rate infrastructure is needed for businesses to thrive."For| Read My Position

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"Lack of affordable housing is a clear and present problem across the entire country, not just NH, and many older zoning laws can be changed to allow modern, walkable, desirable towns which are affordable to the people working in them. Good talent goes where there are good jobs and housing is reasonable. We want good talent flocking here, as part of the NH Advantage."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?
"It is clear that coal and gas cannot be humanity's main source of power for the next 100 years. We are too northerly for solar. Seabrook nuclear plant has operated safely in NH for 30+ years, and having more cheap reliable electricity is needed, if we are going to bring manufacturing back to the USA."Undecided| Read My Position

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?
"Don't know enough about this issue to comment. Would have to hear from experts on what this change means for average folk."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire restore funding for the Office of the Child Advocate?
"Had to google this one- the internet says 'The Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) is an independent state agency that provides impartial oversight of child-serving systems, such as child protection, foster care, and juvenile justice. It works to protect the safety, rights, and best interests of vulnerable children', which sounds like a good thing for us to fund, as a society."For| Read My Position

Do you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?
"This works for some districts, not for others. I'd have to see the proposal on what would replace it, before deciding."For| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?

Should New Hampshire require new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote?
"My family has volunteered as poll-workers for many elections. Non-citizens voting in NH elections literally never happens. This is just an extra burden on 100% of voters, who are already citizens."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire allow at least 10% of students in each school district to enroll in a different public school, regardless of where they live?
"The Prisoner's Dilemma here is that while it might be good for your individual family to flee a bad school district, but if everyone tries to flee, the school collapses and that's bad all around. I'd have to hear testimony from parents and teachers on the pros and cons of this system, and how to decide what the % should be set at."Undecided| Read My Position

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"NH ranks 42nd out of 50th in lowest gun deaths per capita in the USA (meaning we have one of the lowest possible rates), so stricter gun control laws are not one of the most pressing problems facing us (which are probably housing, income inequality and access to good jobs)."
