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 was a critical part of NH's revenue for years and its elimination has decreased our revenue, resulting in less money available for public education, housing, and healthcare.”

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: “This program takes money away from public schools. Until we adequately fund public schools per the NH constitution, this program should be discontinued. This program gives money to families who already had students in private schools.”

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: “Local schools must have the ability to make up for the State refusing to adequately fund public schools.”

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?"

Supports raising New Hampshire's minimum wage

Answered "For" on the Citizens Count 2024 issue survey question: "Should New Hampshire raise the minimum wage?" Written answer: “We need to provide a livable wage to all Granite Staters. The current amount is insufficient and the market has not kept up with the rising costs of housing, health insurance, and other essentials.”

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: “A woman has the right to make her own health care decisions, with the advice and support of trained medical care. The health of both the mother and the baby must be taken into account.”

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: “There is no evidence that non-citizenship voter fraud is widespread. In fact, in NH there is only 1 case in 20 years. Obtaining the documentation is expensive and time-consuming.”
