What specific policy do you see as most vital? Getting the economy back up and running again by opening up N.H. from COVID-19 lockdown and letting people get back to work, children get back to school, churches re-opening, etc. and returning to normalcy is paramount. Getting our community back to a functioning status is essential for our economy, our well-being, and our very existence.
How do you plan to address the significant budget challenges our state will face in the months ahead? As a new representative, I will work hard to learn about budget policy and weigh the pros and cons of each recommendation; that being said, I believe it necessary to tighten belts and juggle the budget while we overcome the hardships that COVID-19 have brought. I am against a sales tax, an income tax, or increased fees and costs for our small businesses. We are New Englanders. We know how to fix things up and make them do for a while. We are creative and industrious. Together we can find solutions to get us through until we are more prosperous again.
