In 2025 and 2026 Rep. Walsh voted against increasing base per-pupil state school funding (HB 651 and HB 1826). Rep. Walsh then voted to establish a tax cap for local school districts (HB 675). Rep. Walsh also voted against HB 1799, which would have redefined an "adequate education," increased how much funding the state must provide per pupil, and created a commission to study alternative methods of funding public schools besides property taxes. Lastly, Rep. Walsh voted for HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.
