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 Paul LaFerriere wrote under an answer is quoted in full, unedited. On one question the sentence Paul LaFerriere 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.

| Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"Not more than .05% for 2027, especially if it brings more businesses into the State.

| 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"ABSOLUTELY!

| 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"I believe it needs to be reformed and find a way to take the higher burden off of the property taxpayers and fund it through with other additional means. But not a Sales or Income Tax."Ticked Other, scored as Against. He says the current system needs to be reformed and the burden moved off property taxpayers onto other revenue.
