The past several years of business tax cuts have only served to reduce our state's ability to pay for the services we provide to our residents, while allowing large corporations to tap into our market without paying their fair share of the cost of doing business in the Granite State.

Housing costs are one of the largest challenges facing the state today. While some progress is being made to remove onerous zoning requirements, more can be done to ensure that development is encouraged as much as possible across the state.

Public education should be precisely that: public. Families who wish to pursue private or home schooling should bear the expense of that effort separately from the public offerings.

New Hampshire's school funding approach has been repeatedly found by courts to be in violation of the state constitution, primarily by underfunding on a per-pupil basis and by allowing richer towns to withhold their share of education-related property taxes from poorer towns. Ending this application of SWEPT tax in its non-uniform manner would significantly improve the funding of our public school system.

Uncertainty around the future of these systems and the long timeline to (theoretical) implementation present undue risk to current rate payers. While development on this front is not necessarily wrong, it should not receive special treatment from the state, forcing everyone to assume the financial risk of development.

I worked at several elections in Dover's Ward 5 before being elected as the Moderator in 2021, a role I continue to serve in. I have seen first-hand the impact of these efforts underway to restrict access to voting. The fraud that this is supposed to eliminate does not exist, and it presents an undue burden on both the voters and the poll workers to administer.

Voted against requiring absentee voters to include copy of ID

In addition to a 'catch up' increase, a permanent, inflation-based scale to keep it growing should be included.
