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 David Martsolf wrote under an answer is quoted in full, unedited. On one question the sentence David Martsolf 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"Never" | Against | For | Not aligned |
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"Never" | Against | For | Not 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"Here is what the OCA does. Do you have a child? Think about it. Provides Independent Oversight: Monitors state agencies like the Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) and juvenile facilities to ensure accountability and transparency. Investigates Complaints: Looks into reports of abuse, neglect, or poor treatment within state systems, residential facilities, and youth centers. Responds to Inquiries: Takes confidential calls and concerns from children, families, foster parents, and community professionals about the welfare system. Advocates for Reform: Evaluates systemic problems and publishes annual reports highlighting safety gaps, institutional care concerns, and needed practice changes." | 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"With Inflation above the 2.0% Fed target now for 65 months, a cap would result in effective lower money available for schools going forward. Programs would need to be cut, and the "Windham Advantage" would disappear. A cap is not in Windham's or any other towns best interest, and yet all 5 of Windham's current GOP Reps voted for this to be put on the November ballot. Bad vote. Bad policy. Bad for Windham. Local control! 'Nuff said!" | 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"This program takes state revenues from every taxpayer and gives it to those that do not like public education. Windham has one of the highest ranked school districts in the state, attracting smart, high-salaried families to the town. Taking money away from public education will ruin that reputation, resulting in an exodus of these people. Property values will go down, and Windham will lose its tax base and reputation. I am against the EFA." | Against | Against | 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"Definitely for anything that moves the economy from a fossil fuels-based system to a green system. Electric utilities can work with the state to determine a fair way to support the grid, but the option for customers to increase their own production needs to be available." | For | For | 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"It's stupid. If there was ever an isolated incident, deal with it on a case by case basis within that local community. Anti-discrimination laws are for just that, anti-discrimination, not to turn around and say it is OK to discriminate on an X, Y, or Z basis." | 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"The current law in NH includes affidavits from other qualified voters that support citizenship. It's enough and does not require further restriction. Here is the current law from the state's own website, for those who question this. U.S. birth certificate, U.S. passport/passport card, naturalization papers, other proof of citizenship issued by the United States Department of State, or other reasonable documentation which indicates the applicant is a United States citizen. Your citizenship may also be shown with proof that you were previously or are currently registered to vote in New Hampshire. Your citizenship may also be proven by completing a qualified voter affidavit attesting, subject to the penalties for voter fraud, that you are a United States citizen but do not possess some or all of the documents necessary to prove your citizenship."Ticked Other, scored as Against. The current rules are enough and need no further restriction. That is a no to adding a documentary requirement. | Againstticked Other | Against | Aligned |
