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?
"'Public education is the foundation of our free and democratic society. The continuous attacks on public education undermine our democracy and our future. We must protect the fundamental promise of a quality public education for all students.... We reject all efforts to divert public funding to parents or private, religious, or home school education. This is a systemic attack on our public community schools.' (From 2026 NHDP Platform)"Against| Read My Position

Should NH add an income tax on earned income?
"I am not interested in raising taxes. Yet we know we are often thwarted in NH because we have very limited resources and are often unable to address some of the very real needs of our neighbors in our state. Oftentimes investing in crucial supports will yield greater returns and help ensure the state's economic vitality in the future. Knowledge is power -- we should have the best information about potential data-driven and evidence-informed options that could work in NH, so we are well-positioned to make good decisions to benefit all the people of NH."Undecided| Read My Position

Should New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?
"The NH Fiscal Policy Institute wrote 'New analyses of the elimination of New Hampshire's Interest and Dividends Tax show that the reduction in tax revenue disproportionately benefits individuals and households with high incomes while significantly reducing revenues available for public services.... Both public and private sector national economic modeling suggests that tax reductions to high income households, including reductions in dividends and capital gains taxes, are relatively ineffective economic stimulus compared to food assistance, aid to individuals who have become unemployed, and income supports for individuals with low and moderate incomes.'"Undecided| Read My Position
