| Question | Their answer | Aligned answer | Counted as |
|---|---|---|---|
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"The interest and dividends tax was a fair tax that provided significant revenue to the state and the loss of that tax revenue was passed on to the property tax payer. This is making it difficult for young families to purchase starter homes and seniors to stay in the homes they've made for decades." | For | For | Aligned |
| Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"I believe we should reinstate the Interest and Dividends Tax and the Business taxes that were dismantled over the last decade. When that is completed, we need to study the financial needs of funding adequate educational funding and determine what is needed to fulfill that obligation." | Against | Against | 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"In Claremont, we voted against such a tax cap because we found it to be irresponsible. We have an obligation to our students to provide them with a safe and healthy environment in which they can learn, and the curriculum that allows them to learn what they are required to learn in order to be successful in graduating. That could easily be complicated by an unforeseen need for a new bus, or a new furnace, or an updated software program. With such a cap, the cost of one of those potential problems would completely derail our budget for the next school year. Why put that kind of constraint on a community that already has a 'no frills' budget crafted by its administration? That would be a fiscally irresponsible act." | 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 is yet another way to deplete public education. Even more importantly, it requires little or no accountability for the required education necessary to graduate from High School and attend accredited post secondary schools. Wouldn't that money be more wisely spent funding the overwhelming number of unfunded or underfunded mandates for the proper education of our students? The State Supreme Court demanded this in 1995! Individuals who ignore a law are incarcerated. What does that sayt about our State Government?" | 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 an effort to further deplete public education in our State. It would force poorer communities to pay higher tuition costs for their students who choose to enroll in a different, probably more expensive school district. This would further deplete that communities' ability to fund those students who do not have the means of traveling to another district." | 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"This is an inequitable method of funding educational spending. Property poor towns are at an incredible disadvantage." | 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"I believe New Hampshire's anti-discrimination laws should protect all residents equally, including transgender people. I support maintaining those protections and addressing privacy concerns through reasonable accommodations rather than broad exceptions that could result in discrimination." | 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"This seems to be a politically manufactured issue that has gained momentum from our current president who only challenges the validity of a free and fair election when it doesn't go his way. My feeling is that tNH, and broadly speaking, the US has always prided itself on the provision of free and fair elections. Any questions regarding that have come about since Donald Trump was beaten in 2020. His narcissism has created the voting rights debate today, when our judicial system has determined time and time again, that our elections are faccuraate, ree and safe. I prefer to believe our judicial system over the current president." | Against | Against | Aligned |
