“I am against EFAs in their current form. The program is bloating, costly, and a detriment to the public school system in New Hampshire.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “I have yet to see a prevalence of transgendered people assaulting other people in restrooms, but I have seen non-transgendered people assault transgendered people (or fathers protecting their daughters) simply for using the bathroom. And guess what? Those people who can assault people in cross-gendered bathrooms can also be assaulted in same-sex bathrooms. The entire situation is overblown.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “I've been in a room when a woman talks to her doctor about her health during pregnancy. The last thing I feel is appropriate is to put a lawmaker between them. There should be no grey area where the doctor is concerned from a legal perspective. Abortions are part of women's health. While I do believe fetuses have some rights, I don't not believe those rights extend over the rights of the woman.”

“No more public dollars to pay rich kid's private school tuition while public schools cut services and can't pay teachers a living wage. I support abolishing the EFA program but, failing that, we need to set common-sense guardrails on this wasteful, unaccountable school voucher scheme.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “We've cut corporate taxes over and over and over again over the course of the last fifteen years. It hasn't delivered the growth, jobs, or wages that were promised. We were lied to. We can make big corporations pay their fair share while protecting NH small businesses.”

“I support Education Freedom Accounts because families should have the primary say in how their children are educated. EFAs allow the state portion of education funding to follow the student to the setting that works best, whether that is public school, private school, or home education.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “The state should encourage municipalities to remove unnecessary zoning barriers, especially those that make it harder to build starter homes, single-family homes, and other owner-occupied housing. We should increase housing supply without eliminating reasonable local control or forcing communities into one-size-fits-all development.”
(Citizens Count Issue Survey) “Local voters should control local school budgets. I support spending restraint and taxpayer protections, but I do not support a one-size-fits-all state mandate limiting what individual communities may approve.”
