Voting Record, 2026
In 2023 Rep. Thomas voted to require cities and towns to allow four residential dwelling units on any single-family lot served by municipal water and sewer (HB 44). This could be a four-unit building, two duplexes, four single units, or four townhouses. In 2024 Thomas voted for HB 1291 (to increase rights of property owners to build accessory dwelling units), HB 1399 (to make it easier to convert single family residence into two units), and HB 1400 (to limit parking requirements, plus add tax credits for office conversions).
However, in 2025 Rep. Thomas voted against limits on parking requirements in zoning laws (SB 284) and voted to continue allowing planning boards to differentiate based on the number of bedrooms in a residential development (SB 174).
In 2026 Rep. Thomas voted to keep the Housing Champion designation and grant program (HB 1196).

Voting Record, 2026
In 2025 and 2026 Rep. Thomas voted to consider increasing base per-pupil state school funding (HB 651 and HB 1826). Rep. Thomas then voted against establishing a tax cap for local school districts (HB 675). Rep. Thomas also voted to consider 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. Thomas voted against HB 1815, which pushes back against New Hampshire Supreme Court rulings on what the state must fund for an adequate education.
