Position on Issues

Tax incentives for affordable housing: "I support lowering property taxes, and could support new programs to help first time buyers. I am not convinced incentives for developers are effective. Supply and demand determine sale prices and rents."

NH business subsidies and tax credits: "Only in special circumstances, such as Manchester's ARMI."

Business tax decrease: "Possibly for the short term in response to Covid related hardship."

Capital gains tax: "Yes, but only for people with a total income that is relatively high. Capital gains may be a significant portion of a person't retirement income."

Cigarette tax increase: "For"

Emergency power restrictions On Governor's power: "For"

Statewide, mandatory family and medical leave "We should consider having the employer paying the .5% of wages."

Private, opt-in family and medical leave: "Against"

Stricter gun laws: "I support stricter gun control laws."

Broad-based income tax: "Only if it would result in a significant reduction of our currently broad-based tax, property taxes"

Mail-in voting: "I support mail-in if the voter makes the request for a ballot each year."

Marijuana legalization: "I oppose marijuana legalization."

Net metering expansion: "For"

Abortion ban after 24 weeks: "Against"

Minimum wage increase: "We should adopt a state minimum wage, and set a course toward $15/hr."

Increased access to police misconduct reports: "My support would depend on the details of the plan."

Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative: "I support New Hampshire's participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative."

Extending renewable energy portfolio standard: "For"

Road usage fee: "For"

Broad-based sales tax "I would consider a sales tax with exclusions that prevent low-income residents from paying a disproportionately larger share of their income. For example, exclude first $15,000 for a car, and similar exclusions for home appliances."

Per-pupil school funding increase: "For"

Tax revenue for private and home schooling: "I oppose allocating tax revenues for private and/or home schooling costs."

Student debt repayment for certain industries: "Possibly for public sector jobs (teachers, state jobs). Possibly a match of employer conributions in agriculture, childcare, etc."
