“We need to start being fiscally responsible with our legislation. We continually deplete funds needed by many in order to appease the few without need. This needs to change before we do anything.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “One of many issues with tying public education into property taxes is wealthy areas have more money funded into their Public School system, whereas lower income areas have less. Every child should have an equal right to the same public education regardless of the wealth of their town. The way we do it is not fair, or equal in any way. NH ranks last in state funding of public schools. This needs to change.”

Born in Laramie, Wyoming, and having moved to New England at a very young age, I've always felt that there was more to this great country than any one life could experience.”

“This is truly the most fiscally irresponsible decision allowed by the Sununu brain trust. How in the world can they be so off on their cost projections when they knew exactly what they were doing?! Now it's up to us to stop that madness - Vote for candidates who care about public education, quality of our schools and want the property tax to go down!”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “I will fight to ensure we prioritize funding for public education and affordable housing so we can attract young entrepreneurs and families to NH.”

(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “At the current time we have a huge drug problem in the state. Legalizing at this time makes no sense. States that have legalized are not seeing any revenue benefit since cost of implementation is high and black markets are not going away. States that have legalized marijuana are also seeing higher levels of DUI.”
