Supports reinstating the interest and dividends tax

Answered "For" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?" Written answer: “This tax, first levied, was removed by Republicans while, with the other hand, added non-public schools to be supported by local property tax.”

Supports stricter gun control laws

Answered "For" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?" Written answer: “I have guns. I also had a concealed carry permit, until that requirement was removed. I don't think it should have been removed. I also do not think that anyone who wants an assault rifle should have one.”

Opposes the Education Freedom Account program

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "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?" Written answer: “Absolutely against. Since being imposed by a Republican Governor in 2021, and increased two times since then by a different Republican Governor, every dollar taken from tax money collected for use by a district public school has been outright theft.”

Opposes a state cap on school budget increases

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should state law cap how much local school districts can increase their budget each year?" Written answer: “If the state were living up to its school funding promise, then the state may have that call. As it is, the district has to do what the district has to do. Step up NH, and fully fund!”

Supports state efforts to ease local zoning for housing

Answered "For" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should the state do more to encourage municipalities to remove zoning barriers to housing development?" Written answer: “This should be done, but done with care. Regulations are one area where the state can encourage building. I have built two homes for my family, and I am not a builder. Continue to make that possible.”

Opposes encouraging nuclear power development in New Hampshire

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should New Hampshire do more to encourage the development of nuclear power, including small modular reactors (SMR), in the state?" Written answer: “Unsafe, and always has been. Has the disposal of nuclear waste ever been made safe? No.”

Supports guaranteeing abortion access before 24 weeks

Answered "For" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should New Hampshire guarantee the right to access abortion before 24 weeks?" Written answer: “This is a personal decision that a corrupted SCOTUS has taken away. The pregnant person and their doctor should make that decision.”

Opposes requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should New Hampshire require new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote?" Written answer: “NO, NO, NO. The only, only reason for this to even be considered is as a tool to obstruct a person's right to vote.”
