| Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"The information below is from the NH Fiscal Policy Institute's research posted on their website dated May 25, 2025. https://nhfpi.org/resource/how-business-taxes-impact-nhs-budget-and-you/ "'Business taxes comprise more than a third of New Hampshire's state tax revenue, making New Hampshire more reliant on corporate tax revenue than any other state. But when business profits drop or tax reductions are passed, the impacts may be felt by Granite Staters through reduced public services or higher property taxes.' "'The Business Profits Tax rate in 2015 was 8.5 percent. Policymakers lowered the tax rate to 8.2 percent in 2016, 7.9 percent in 2018, 7.7 percent in 2019, 7.6 percent in 2022, and 7.5 percent in 2023. The Business Enterprise Tax rate was lowered from 0.75 percent in 2015 to 0.72 percent in 2016, 0.675 percent in 2018, 0.6 percent in 2019, and 0.55 percent in 2022.' "'The reductions in business taxes alone have cost public services between about $800 million and nearly $1.2 billion since those 2015 cuts.' "'This highlights how a tax change can mean less for priorities like education, housing, roads, and bridges. When we hear business taxes, we might picture impacts on small, local businesses. However, about 5 percent of business tax filers paid nearly 80 percent of all business tax revenue collected, suggesting larger filers pay most of these taxes.' "'Household, state, and local budgets are all part of the same ecosystem, and lost tax revenue must come from somewhere, like higher property taxes. Public policy decisions have a real impact on hardworking Granite State families, particularly those with low and moderate incomes.' "MY NOTE: All these business cuts including another signed by Gov. Ayotte in 2026 were supported by Republicans. "'The New Hampshire Fiscal Policy Institute is a nonpartisan, independent research organization that examines issues related to the state budget, the economy, policy decisions, and the financial security of Granite Staters, centering on issues relevant to people and families with low and moderate incomes.

| Fund the Office of the Child AdvocateShould New Hampshire restore funding for the Office of the Child Advocate?Grow the State Budget · Economic Democracy"The Office of the Child Advocate (OCA) was established in 2018 as an independent state watchdog agency. Following tragic child fatalities it was created to oversee child welfare systems like the Division for Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). In the most recent (2025-26) budget deliberations, the NH House with its Republican majority voted to abolish the OCA. The Senate compromised with its proposal to cut 4 of nine positions. Full funding is needed. • The state budget compromise stripped four of the office's nine positions, including the associate child advocate, a case aide, a public relations/training officer, and an office coordinator. • The loss of the case aide position heavily impacted the agency's core mandate to review safety tracking data, such as the seclusion and physical restraint of children in state facilities. • The reductions followed political friction over the office taking public stances on LGBTQ+ and transgender legislation, leading lawmakers to pass additional restrictions barring the advocate from partisan policy debates." https://www.concordmonitor.com/2025/06/03/nh-senate-to-restore-funding-for-office-of-the-child-advocate-senate-finance-committee-nh-budget-2025-61558358/ | 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"State law already allows towns to adopt tax caps and limit school spending. This is done at the annual town meeting." | 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"NH has had RSA 194-D, Open Enrollment Schools, since 2009. This RSA allows a school district to predetermine the NUMBER of students it will accept from outside the district and the number of students it will pay tuition for under open enrollment. This is very different from HB751 preventing schools from allowing less than 10% of their students to leave and be required to pay at least 80% of the cost per student to the receiving district. This seems very unfair. HB 751 promoted by Republicans in the 2025-26 legislative session, would amend RSA 194-D causing severe impact to a school district's costs. One might ask, what is the problem they are trying to solve? And what problems are they creating with these revisions?" | 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 information below is from the NH Fiscal Policy Institute. https://nhfpi.org/resource/how-education-funding-is-paid-for-and-calculated-in-new-hampshire/ "'The analysis finds that the State's share of school funding has steadily declined over time, while local property taxes have become an increasingly important source of education funding. Since the 2007–2008 school year, the share of school revenue provided through State funding has fallen from 34.9 percent to 25.6 percent, while the share provided through local property taxes has grown from 54.1 percent to 63.5 percent. Today, property taxes account for approximately 72 percent of all public school district revenue, when the locally collected and retained Statewide Education Property Tax is included.' "MY NOTE: The state must provide communities more funding for schools as directed by recent NH Supreme Court decisions. Instead Gov. Ayotte just signed HB 1300 mandating a question on the November 2026 and 2028 ballots asking if voters want to limit spending on schools and administrative costs to the rate of inflation. So rather than increase state revenue sources to help reduce local property taxes, the Republican governor and legislature would rather cut local school budgets. Additionally, the state's Attorney General has recently submitted an appeal to the NH Supreme Court claiming the previous Claremont decisions by the 1993 and 1997 NH Supreme Courts were flawed. The bottom line is this: The State needs more revenue to send to the cities and towns. Cutting the State's corporate taxes is not the answer." | 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"RSA 354-A:1 below explains so well why such an action threatens our state. "NH RSA 354-A:1 Title and Purposes of Chapter. – This chapter shall be known as the 'Law Against Discrimination.' It shall be deemed an exercise of the police power of the state for the protection of the public welfare, health and peace of the people of this state, and in fulfillment of the provisions of the constitution of this state concerning civil rights. The general court hereby finds and declares that practices of discrimination against any of its inhabitants because of age, sex, gender identity, race, creed, color, marital status, familial status, physical or mental disability or national origin are a matter of state concern, that such discrimination not only threatens the rights and proper privileges of its inhabitants but menaces the institutions and foundation of a free democratic state and threatens the peace, order, health, safety and general welfare of the state and its inhabitants. A state agency is hereby created with power to eliminate and prevent discrimination in employment, in places of public accommodation and in housing accommodations because of age, sex, gender identity, race, creed, color, marital status, familial status, physical or mental disability or national origin as herein provided; and the commission established hereunder is hereby given general jurisdiction and power for such purposes. In addition, the agencies and councils so created shall exercise their authority to assure that no person be discriminated against on account of sexual orientation.'" | Against | Against | Aligned |
