  I oppose the Education Freedom Account program. Public money should stay in public schools.

  How we fund public education in New Hampshire must be re-evaluated. The expansion of the voucher program has been draining money from the Education Trust Fund - dollars that were meant for our public schools - while the state has simultaneously reduced its share of education funding, pushing more and more of the burden onto local property taxpayers.

  I oppose municipal tax caps. I have seen firsthand in Manchester what happens when a community is locked into an arbitrary spending limit - public services erode, schools are chronically underfunded, and the city loses its ability to respond to emergencies or unexpected crises.

  Addressing New Hampshire's housing crisis requires us to put everything on the table. Local zoning reform is part of the conversation, but it is only one piece of a much larger puzzle - and treating it as the sole solution puts an unfair burden on municipalities while ignoring the many other factors driving the crisis.

  Yes, I support expanding the net energy metering capacity cap from 1 MW to 5 MW. Moving toward renewable energy is not just good environmental policy - it is good economic policy.

  I am neither firmly for nor against nuclear energy at this point, but I think dismissing it outright would be a mistake.

  I believe that in those moments, the health and life of the mother must take priority, and that those decisions belong to her and her physician - not to legislators.

  I believe our existing voter registration system works, and I oppose efforts to make it more difficult for eligible citizens to vote.
