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: “NH lost between $150 million and $180 million in annual revenue removing the interest and dividends tax. That revenue burden was passed onto local municipalities, who are forced to raise property taxes to make up for it.”

Supports stricter gun control laws

Answered "For" on the Citizens Count 2026 issue survey question: "Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?" Written answer: “Schools need to continue to be gun-free zones and we need to have stricter laws on people obtaining firearms who have severe mental health disorders.”

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: “Money going to EFAs should be going into our public education system. Private school and home school are not public institutions and therefore should not receive public funding.”

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: “The state should be assisting in creating a well-financed public education system, not capping our schools and our children's futures.”

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: “If we want to keep young families in our state, we need to get creative solutions for our housing crisis.”

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: “Absolutely not. We should instead focus entirely on cheaper, safer, and immediately available renewable alternatives like offshore wind, solar, and battery storage. SMRs still create radioactive waste, and our country still lacks a permanent, long-term national disposal facility.”

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 decision should be between the woman and her doctor. The state has no right in this conversation.”

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: “The right to vote is one of our most precious liberties. Any impediments to that right is voter suppression.”
