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: “I don't support placing the burden on working families. If New Hampshire ever has a conversation about broad tax reform, it should be exactly that—a conversation about the entire tax system, including how to reduce property taxes.”

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: “The repeal of the Interest and Dividends Tax primarily benefited New Hampshire residents with significant investment income. My concern is that when the state eliminates a revenue source without replacing it, especially one that brings in a hundred million dollars.”

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: “No. I do not support a state-imposed cap on local school district budgets. Every community has different needs, and local voters—not Concord—should have the primary responsibility for deciding how much to invest in their 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?" Written answer: “Yes, but through incentives rather than mandates. New Hampshire is facing a housing shortage, and that shortage is driving up home prices, rents, and property taxes.”

Supports encouraging nuclear power development in New Hampshire

Answered "For" 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: “Yes, I believe New Hampshire should continue to explore nuclear energy, including small modular reactors (SMRs). Nuclear power provides carbon-free, around-the-clock electricity and has the potential to improve long-term energy reliability.”

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: “Only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections, and I support maintaining secure and trustworthy voter rolls. The process must be practical, free, and not prevent eligible citizens from voting.”
