|---|---|---|---|
| Broad-based income taxShould NH add an income tax on earned income?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"Although our state is struggling because of reduced revenue, I would be against an income tax." | Against | For | Not aligned |
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"The repeal of this tax is one factor in the reduced revenue in NH. This tax cut only benefits wealthy residents and pushes higher taxes on property owners." | For | For | Aligned |
| Fund the Office of the Child AdvocateShould New Hampshire restore funding for the Office of the Child Advocate?Grow the State Budget · Economic Democracy | For | For | Aligned |
| School district tax cap mandateShould state law cap how much local school districts can increase their budget each year?Grow the State Budget · Economic Democracy"This would take local control away from school districts and give it to the state which already is severely underfunding public education." | Against | Against | Aligned |
| "Education Freedom Account" programDo you support the “Education Freedom Account” program, which gives students access to the per-pupil share of state school funding to spend on private school or home school expenses?Defend the Public School Monopoly · Freedom To Flourish"As I stated earlier the voucher program is part of a plan to dismantle the the public school system in NH." | Against | Against | Aligned |
| Public school open enrollment with limitsShould New Hampshire allow at least 10% of students in each school district to enroll in a different public school, regardless of where they live?Defend the Public School Monopoly · Freedom To Flourish"This is another piece of legislation designed to undermine our public schools. The voucher program started as a program with income limits. Now there are no income limits. The same will happen with open enrollment. The schools with good sports programs, music and art programs and AP courses will attract the best students away from their own schools leaving many districts having to cut programs." | Against | Against | Aligned |
| Majority of public school funding through local property taxesDo you support New Hampshire’s current system of public school funding, with about two-thirds of total funding coming from local property taxes?Defend the Public School Monopoly · Freedom To Flourish"Public school funding needs an overhaul. Our state is last in the nation for funding public education. The School voucher program is adding to the funding problem by diverting education funds away from our public schools and giving them to private schools and home schoolers. The voucher program is operated by a private group which provides little information about the performance of students in the program or the income of the families receiving state education funding. There seems to be no accountability for this program. The poorer towns suffer which in turns effects neighboring towns. The state should raise the adequacy amount to $7000+ as was court ordered a few years ago." | Against | Against | Aligned |
| Proof of citizenship for newly registered votersShould New Hampshire require new voters to provide proof of U.S. citizenship, such as a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote?Loosen Voter Eligibility Rules · Democracy For All | For | Against | Not aligned |
