“I am pro life. I support NH's current law that prohibits abortions after 6 months, and prohibits late term abortions. I have no intention of bringing in any new legislation. I believe we need to protect the current law, provide more options for young mothers who are in crisis, and change hearts and minds on this issue not laws.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“First and foremost we have to protect local control, each community should decide their future, because each community is different, and we have to protect the diversity of each community. When it comes to housing I believe in a free market approach and supported legislation that reduced the department of bureaucracies red tape and regulations that were driving up costs.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
“I am a cosponsor of a number of pieces of legislation to move this important policy forward.” (Citizens Count Issue Survey)
