| 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"Currently, New Hampshire forfeits hundreds of millions of dollars to surrounding states when NH residents work in those neighboring states. If NH were to implement a 4% income tax on earnings over $50K/annually, those tax dollars would then be collected by NH rather than the neighboring state, and would go a very long way to reduce the intense tax burden currently footed by property taxes." | For | For | Aligned |
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"The Interest & Dividends tax taxes wealth, by having nearly done away with this tax it is one more way that the wealthy avoid paying their fair share." | For | For | Aligned |
| Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"NH Business Taxes are already among the lowest in New England. Our rates are fair and it has been proven that the current tax rates are not prohibitive to anyone looking to move or start a business here." | Against | Against | 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"Absolutely! The level of child abuse that goes on unchecked is out of control because in so many cases children do not have a voice. I believe that society needs to really do a much better job of protect children and teens." | For | For | 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"The NH School Voucher Program is a ruse. It pilfer education dollars from school funding to help the wealthy fund their posh private school tuition for their kids. If folks want to send their kids to private schools then they must pay fully for those expenses."The 2nd Amendment is purposeful and needed. People using guns, not the guns, are the problem. Many more crimes against people are by means other than guns. Guns have been highlighted as "dangerous" when other weapons - knives, blunt instruments, hands, etc - play a much larger roll in injury." | 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"Students should get their education in the community where they live. Let's adequately fund all schools and make sure they have the resources they need for student success at every level." | 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"The state needs to return to the days when state funding contributed substantially to local schools. Rural towns just cannot afford to bear the lion's share for funding schools." | Against | Against | 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"Can we all just grow up on the issue of mixed-gender use of bathrooms? Most of us grew up in households with both female and male family members so why is this so hard? It is time for society to stop segregated bathrooms and just create bathrooms with full door that can be used comfortably and privately by anyone." | 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 supreme court has just ruled that it is against the US Constitution to make proof of citizenship a requirement for voting. And given that there has literally been almost ZERO fraud found in any of our election, this is nothing more than an attempt to make it harder for lower-income and marginalized communities to participate in elections. LET EVERYONE VOTE!" | Against | Against | Aligned |
