David Nesbitt

Residence: Webster

Occupation: 20 years outdoor recreation, 17 years public education

Incumbent? No

Abortion: Favors repealing current ban on abortions after 24 weeks and guaranteeing abortion rights before 24 weeks.

Income, sales tax: Opposes sales tax, favors income tax. “This is based on an ability to pay unlike a property tax. NH has served as a tax haven for the wealthy for years.”

Marijuana: Favors legalization, growing at home and sale from state stores.

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws? Yes. “I have no objection to people owning firearms for sport and hunting, but I believe that we should have strong background checks, red flag laws and a higher minimum age to legally purchase a weapon.”

Alvin See

Party: Republican

Residence: Loudon

Occupation: Retired engineer

Incumbent? No

Abortion: Supports ban after 24 weeks, opposes guaranteeing before 24 weeks, undecided about first and second trimester ban. “An abortion is the death of a child. The fewer abortions, the better for society.”

Income, sales tax: Opposed to both. “We already have more than enough government so we don’t need another tax source to fund more government.”

Marijuana: Supports legalization and growing at home; opposes state sales, undecided on private sale.

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws? No. “We have more than enough gun control laws. A person committing a crime using a gun will ignore any gun laws.”
