"As a State Representative, I helped craft our state budget which was the only budget in the whole country that cut spending. I've got a proven track record of fighting wasteful spending. Again, we must balance our budget and stop printing money endlessly. I believe all politicians shouldn't get paid until we balance the budget. The voters of New Hampshire can have my word, that I will be a hard 'no' vote against reckless spending and I have the record as a State Representative, to back that up."

"I will always defend the right of law-abiding citizens to defend themself and their families. Not all candidates in this race support the 2nd Amendment."

WMUR, 2022

"The Federal government has no authority to provide loans for higher education. It's unfair for one group of people to be forced to subsidize the education of another group. It's unfortunate that some students opt-ed into government loans to pursue degrees that may not open up the most doors in the job market, however, that is not the taxpayers fault. Higher Education Academica isn't for everyone and I encourage young people to consider vocational education and other alternatives. In the State Legislature I have been an advocate for School Choice and am proud to have been a part of legislation that has given students more options when it comes to their education."

Candidate's Twitter Feed, 2022

"As someone with student loan debt, I understand that this is a big problem, but the push to cancel student loan debt shows how entitled my generation has become."
