| 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"No! No! No! A broad based income tax will hurt retirees and young home owners and families and is not the answer and will never lower your property taxes. Remember two of Lifes Guarantees. Death and Taxes! We don't need more taxes to solve property tax issues." | Against | For | Not aligned |
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"Let's help retirees and not burden them. Death and Taxes! We don't need more taxes to solve property tax issues." | Against | For | Not 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"We need to have tax caps across the board at the state and local levels to control our property taxes and prevent a State Income Tax that has been proposed recently." | For | Against | Not 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"An educated society is better society. Taking funds from public education to fund private education is not ideal for public schools and for property tax recipients and their tax bill." | 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"Public schools can't handle this format at this time. Should be discussed in the future for any possibilities." | 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"Against, but we need to explore new ways to fund education and not just rely on the backs of residential property tax owners." | 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"Young people under the age of 16-18 should not have to deal with this type of situation when using restrooms and locker rooms." | For | Against | Not 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"I have worked multiple elections registering voters. It's not a hardship to provide proof of citizenship if you have never voted or not voted in 10 years or more. The Affidavit process is irresponsible as there is no follow up from local or state authorities for those that signed an affidavit." | For | Against | Not aligned |
