Opposes adding a state income tax on earned income

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should NH add an income tax on earned income?" Written answer: “The absence of a broad-based tax imposes a fiscal discipline that has served N.H. well, as evidenced by the very high rankings in so many catergories, espcially as compared to our neighboring high tax states.”

Opposes reinstating the interest and dividends tax

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?" Written answer: “Contrary to doomsday predictions by high spenders, the elimination of the I&D tax has not greatly impacted state operations while allowing taxpayers to keep more of their own hard-earned money.”

Opposes stricter gun control laws

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?" Written answer: “N.H. is the safest state in the nation. Why would we want to change what works?”

Supports the Education Freedom Account program

Answered "For" 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: “The EFA program has helped many families find the best education fit, with support coming from the education trust fund as opposed to local funds.”

Supports a state cap on school budget increases

Answered "For" 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: “Yes! This is the true solution to local over-spending. Of course, local citizens bear responsibility for ceding control of budgets to special interests who show up to vote for spending that benefits THEM.”

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: “Our new housing committee has spent much time on this. While always sympathetic to the notion of local control, I know that some communities make it very difficult for new housing to be developed, which is bad for N.H.”

Opposes guaranteeing abortion access before 24 weeks

Answered "Against" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should New Hampshire guarantee the right to access abortion before 24 weeks?" Written answer: “I have always erred on the side of life, while fully aware that a few pregnancies are not viable, thus requiring certain actions. I strongly oppose public money funding abortions.”

Supports requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote

Answered "For" 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: “Of course.”
