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 Kristopher Levesque wrote under an answer is quoted in full, unedited. On 2 questions the sentence Kristopher Levesque 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"Executive Councilors do not levy taxes. But I have never supported a state income tax. While I was a member of the legislature, I never supported an income tax."Ticked Other, scored as Against. He ticked Other because, he says, the office he is describing does not levy taxes. Then he states his position twice: he has never supported an income tax. That is a no. | Againstticked Other | For | Not aligned |
| Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"They've already been lowered recently and businesses did not ask for/need a tax break. With this tax and the rooms and meals tax being lowered and the interests and dividends tax being removed, New Hampshire has lost a lot of state revenue. It falls to the taxpayers to make up the difference, which is why property taxes are so high." | 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"With the number of children in distressed situations, we need advocates for them. So we need to fully fund the Office of the Child Advocate" | 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"As is, town residents vote on the makeup of their school board and budget committee. We should rely on the judgment of our local elected leaders, because tax caps often hinder the ability of those bodies to respond to emergencies." | 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 | 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 policy only strains school budgets. It separates students who can afford to go to any school they like from those who cannot. We need strong, properly funded public schools for students in their communities." | 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"Thanks to recent reductions in state revenue, property taxes are increasing. As a state, we should ensure that our public schools are adequately funded. That means more state revenue, not cuts."Ticked For, scored as Against. The question asks whether he supports the current system, about two-thirds local property tax. He wants a bigger state share. That is the Against side. Ticked For, wrote Against. | Againstticked For | 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"We’ve had bills on this topic in the past that I’ve supported. Smaller solar facilities do truly support communities, so I support this. This policy increases access to renewable energy and decreases reliance on fossil fuels." | 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"To help prevent situations where anyone might be uncomfortable, there should be more individual unisex bathrooms." | Against | Against | Aligned |
