Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"I am Pro-Life. The State Law has saved lives. As a representative of the Richmond and Swanzey Community, I understand that the majority of my constituents agree with the current law (ban after 24 weeks with exceptions for life of the mother). Medical advances allowing viable births should lead us to lowering that limit closer to 15 weeks in the future."

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?
"I'm undecided on this because I don't have enough information on the effect on utilities and the unintended consequences that it might have on the rate-payers."
