Incumbent? If so, how many terms:
What specific policy do you see as most vital? Maintaining the New Hampshire Advantage of no sales tax and no income tax has always been my top priority. I will continue supporting a NH economy that creates jobs without burdensome regulations and damaging tax policies for small businesses and the families they support.
How do you plan to address the significant budget challenges our state will face in the months ahead? Having just completed my first term on the House Ways & Means Committee, I watched in horror as Democrats voted to raise your taxes, eliminate school choice, increase small business taxes, create a sales tax, an income tax, a capital gains tax, take away our Second Amendment rights and increase the size and scope of government in the vision of socialism. Governor Sununu vetoed these bills, and although Republicans are in the minority, we sustained the Governor’s vetoes and prevented these new taxes and regulations from becoming law. After what I have seen on the Committee, I can tell you that you will not recognize New Hampshire if the tax-and-spend crowd has their way. I will resist tax increases on working families and small businesses. As a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, I will insist that NH live within its means and, if necessary, tap into the $150,000,000 rainy day fund to allow the state’s economy time to recover.

What specific policy do you see as most vital? Policies that support children, our most important asset.
How do you plan to address the significant budget challenges our state will face in the months ahead? As a freshman legislator, I will listen to the ideas brought forth by both sides of the aisle and work to reach compromise on the most pressing challenges.
