| 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 | Against | For | Not aligned |
| Interest and Dividends taxShould New Hampshire reinstate the interest and dividends tax?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"Eliminating this tax mainly aided big out of state companies and high income investors. It also increased the tax burden to property owners in NH which is why I support reinstating it." | For | For | Aligned |
| Business tax decreaseShould New Hampshire lower business taxes?Raise Taxes to Expand Government · Economic Democracy"Again, helping the big guys while property taxes soar. Anytime our state decreases revenue it ends up on the backs of property owners. People have had their pockets picked for too long and I plan to be there to help those who struggle to pay their tax bills." | Against | Against | Aligned |
| Fund the Office of the Child AdvocateShould New Hampshire restore funding for the Office of the Child Advocate?Grow the State Budget · Economic Democracy"restore to the full funding (approx $1 million/year). It's about helping at risk children. When you think about the lawsuit of $150 million to fund the YDC settlement, isn't that a small price to pay to avoid children being abused. We need this watchdog group. The children need them." | 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"This is a local control issue. A warrant article can allow local people to make the call in their own towns." | 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"The current system has morphed into a multi million dollar handout. Often these students had already been enrolled in parochial or private schools. If a parent wants to send their children outside of the public school system they should pay for it. This system has very little accountability as to how this money is being spent, yet our property tax dollars are supporting this. I would like to see the voucher system rolled back to it's original form to help lower and middle income families looking for alternatives to their public school as I do recognize that some kids will learn better in a different enviroment. There should also be more oversight in how the money is spent." | 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"Firstly i don't feel this is an edict that should be handed down from the State. the number or percentage of students allowed to enroll in a different school district should be decided by those is each given district. Every school district is different and it's voters should decide what they feel is best for their student population. Also, currently if a student has a reasonable need to leave a given school district there are ways to get this accomplished without legislating a statewide law." | 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 courts have more than once directed the State to pay their fair share towards public education and the current majority has only responded by expanding vouchers and costing taxpayers even more. When the State pays more, property tax payers will pay less. As a school board member, I hear angry voices blaming the local school boards while the majority of the ire should be aimed at the State." | 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 | 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 is just another way to keep people, especially young people from voting. Passports cost money and sometimes birth certificates are lost. Almost everyone in NH has a drivers license who can vote. Drivers licenses should suffice. This is finding a problem where no problem exists." | Against | Against | Aligned |
