Should New Hampshire ban abortions during the first trimester (e.g. after 6 weeks gestation)?
"The current law allows abortion up to first 24 weeks, after that it is based on safety of mother or rape or incest. Current laws are fine. My concern with abortion right up to due date is not for me, If someone wants to do that. I think that this issue is interesting, to say the least. I think it puts stress on convicting someone of murder. because a human life is a human life whether it is seconds old or 40. If we were a more moral people this would not be a debate. ultimately whatever you want to do is up to you. You are the one that has to live with it."

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"Same principle as [sales tax]. Every state that has sales and income tax has as high or higher property taxes. So the argument is ridiculous that taxes will go down by adding new taxes and liability on people. If the state is given more money they will only spend more and increase the size of government and then want more from people that cannot afford it. I worked for the state for almost 20 years. a lot of state employees that get paid well, want more taxes, thinking they will get paid more. Prime example... also Unions would love this because if state employee salaries go up they get more dues from said employees."

Should NH add a broad-based sales tax?
"Adding another tax to replace or lower another out of control tax will not work. If you do not cut or slow down spending, then all you end up with is more taxes that cause people to slip more into debt because costs go up. Any business or person that provides tangible services just ups their prices when they are also taxed more. So the little guy in essence gets taxed twice and slips closer to poverty."

Should New Hampshire lower business taxes?
"However, I would suggest that there are also decreases in everyone tax burden. It is not fair and constitutional to only reduce taxes of one part of population. 'Equal Protection Claus'"

Should New Hampshire add a tax on capital gains?
"Once again, maybe the government should be more responsible with what it has instead of looking at people as an endless supply of money to fund their addiction. You have to be careful with capital gains because what is attached is house sales, inheritance and more. So when a farm is turned over to a new generation, they have to sell or sell part of the farm to pay taxes that are levied. This is one reason farming is put in a hurt locker in NH and across the country."

Should New Hampshire government do more to address climate change?
"Like battery operated cars? Have you seen Chile? The people are running out of water due to the use and contamination of fresh water due to the mining of lithium. The constructionist of the land to mine elements of the batteries looks like the gates of hell have been opened. There are plenty of videos out there: form your own opinion. and I am open to talk but the E vehicles are a scam."

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?
"You should have to prove that you are a resident and also should have to do it at least 60 days prior to an election. I have to provide an ID to just about everything in this society so why are we so relaxed on voting?"

Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?
"Although I am not a fan of decreasing amount of open land and development, towns should not be able to tell others what to do with their land unless they are trying to do something that impacts the abutter. In most cases it appears that if you have enough money you can get around rules and those that do not have to follow the rules."

Should the state increase funding for child care providers?
"I would need more info on this. however, I have found that we continue to just throw more money at an issue without looking at what is causing the increase in cost to begin with. One thing I would say is that federal mandates which are required when we take federal money are causing increases in cost. They mandate the size of a facility based on a per student/ per square foot of building, they require a child care person to have as much education as a doctor..."

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 whole concept needs to be reviewed. along with what money is spent on, and also the federal mandates that have caused increases in taxes. Again we throw a bunch of money at things and the education levels have decreased over the years."

Should New Hampshire legalize the recreational use of marijuana by allowing home-growing and private use without sales?
"I think that the state run model is not a good idea. I think this needs a lot of thought. However I believe that there are more important things that we should be dealing with. Cost of living has over doubled in the last few years due to Democrats. I just saw a statistic that prior to 2019 you could buy a house while making 59 k a year, now in 2024 you have to make a minimum of $110,000. A stick of Deodorant was almost twice the size and a quarter of the price it was 4 years ago. That is a big problem. I most likely will get 'fact checked.'"

Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?
"Raising minimum wage does nothing but cause all cost of goods to increase. I worked since I was in high school. Back then the minimum wage was very low. I was paid around 8-9 dollars per hour. I worked construction as well and was paid like 15 an hour. I was never paid minimum wage. Today most businesses are paying way above the $7.25 min wage. not sure why this is a priority."

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?
"Statistically gun laws do nothing to decrease crime or in some cases there is an increase in crime. I worked at a jail for several years. I asked inmates if they cared about gun laws associated with the fact that they were felons. The primary answer was, they did not care about gun laws. The crimes they were going to do were worse than the gun violation. A majority of them also said that they were more likely to commit B&E in the city where they were more confident that someone was not armed and would shoot them."
