The question wording is Citizens Count’s. The “aligned answer” column is the answer a DSA-aligned candidate would give, taken from the plank named beside it. Anything Dale Fincher wrote under an answer is quoted in full, unedited. On one question the sentence Dale Fincher wrote under the box settles the answer differently from the box itself, and the score goes with what they wrote, not the box. Those rows show both, and say why.
| Question | Their answer | Aligned answer | Counted as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Broad-based income taxShould NH add an income tax on earned income?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy | Against | For | Not aligned |
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"'Interest and Dividends' Tax is also an income tax--especially on retirees--and should remain cancelled." | Against | For | Not 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"I support giving voters common-sense opportunities to cap and reduce their property taxes. I support HB 1300 which will be on the ballot November 3 for the full district. To clarify this question by Citizens Count, this is a tax cap but not a budget cap. This ballot question does NOT limit school district budgets. It does, however, limit the school portion of local property tax increases. Schools may still raise their budgets if they choose and find revenue elsewhere (e.g. grants, fundraising, etc). Read HB 1300 for more details."Ticked Other, scored as For. HB 1300 is the state's school tax cap law. He ticked Other only to object that the survey calls it a budget cap rather than a tax cap. He supports the cap. Same reading as Tanya Rich. | Forticked Other | Against | Not 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"Education Freedom is parent-directed education. The Education Freedom Account (EFA) allows the state-aid portion of the student to follow the student and is not taken from property taxes. The transparent EFA program also has a membership cap, which regulates the program within the means of the Education Trust Fund with guardrails where money is spent. In Wolfeboro and Ossipee, whom I will represent, 97% of students are high priority recipients because they fall under the income threshold. To remove EFAs means removing education choices from working families. So long as the state provides similar aid to students in the district school, I want to empower working families for the same opportunity for their children who do not find the district school the best option for their children." | For | Against | Not 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"Local control allows better transparency, accountability, and relationship to families and taxpayers in school districts. Increased funding from other sources will likely lead to the unintended consequences of more State control over local districts as well as threats of income tax, sales tax, and even higher property taxes." | For | Against | Not aligned |
| Expand net metering opportunitiesDo you support legislation to expand the net energy metering system capacity cap from 1 MW to 5 MW for all residential and commercial customers in New Hampshire?Green New Deal Energy Mandates · Green New Deal | Against | For | Not aligned |
| Allow segregation based on biological sexShould New Hampshire’s anti-discrimination law allow segregation based on biological sex in some settings, such as bathrooms and locker rooms?Gender Identity Over Biological Sex · Feminism For All | For | Against | Not 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 |
