| 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"I don't support placing the burden on working families. If New Hampshire ever has a conversation about broad tax reform, it should be exactly that - a conversation about the entire tax system, including how to reduce property taxes." | Against | For | Not aligned |
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"The repeal of the Interest and Dividends Tax primarily benefited New Hampshire residents with significant investment income. My concern is that when the state eliminates a revenue source without replacing it, especially one that brings in a hundred million dollars. We still have to fund schools, roads, and public safety. Too often, those costs are shifted onto local property taxpayers." | 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"No. I do not support a state-imposed cap on local school district budgets. Every community has different needs, and local voters - not Concord - should have the primary responsibility for deciding how much to invest in their schools. The better solution is for the state to meet its responsibility to adequately fund public education, reduce unfunded mandates, and provide communities with greater financial stability. If we fix the funding system, we can relieve pressure on local property taxes without taking decision-making away from local voters." | 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"I support giving families more educational opportunities, but I do not support an open enrollment system that shifts costs onto local taxpayers or weakens neighborhood public schools. My priority is ensuring every community has strong, well-funded public schools. School choice should complement public education - not undermine it by creating larger property tax burdens or reducing educational opportunities for students who stay in their local schools." | 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"I feel New Hampshire should work toward a funding system that provides a greater share of education funding at the state level while maintaining local control over schools. Two court rulings said as much. That means taking a hard look at our tax policies and ensuring the state has stable, reliable revenue to meet its constitutional responsibility to fund an adequate education. Before cutting existing revenue sources, we should carefully evaluate whether those cuts simply shift costs onto local taxpayers." | Against | 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"I support expanding opportunities for homeowners, farms, municipalities, and businesses to generate their own renewable energy when it helps lower energy costs and strengthens New Hampshire's energy independence. New Hampshire already has some of the highest electricity rates in the country. We should encourage innovation and investment in clean energy while protecting consumers from higher costs. My priority is an energy policy that keeps electricity affordable, supports economic growth, and gives people more choices without creating unfair burdens on other ratepayers." | For | For | 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"Only U.S. citizens should vote in our elections, and I support maintaining secure and trustworthy voter rolls. The process must be practical, free, and not prevent eligible citizens from voting. Many people don't have immediate access to a passport or birth certificate, so the state should provide multiple ways to verify citizenship without creating unnecessary barriers." | Against | Against | Aligned |
