Issues important to all of us.
As I meet and chat with voters, I continue to update my list of issues based on voter directed topics. These issues are added after my two top of No State Income Tax and Medical Freedom.

Period. The Republicans will not allow state income taxes. I will vote to keep this a top priority.
The Dems 3-3 Plan will not work.
3% income tax. 3% increase per $1K in property tax. Nope. Not now…not ever.

Each is unique with different issues needing individualized care that is planned with their chosen medical team. Neither insurance companies nor the government should interfere. Big pharma cannot continue to rule medical freedom choices.

As winter approaches, home heating concerns are top of mind for many especially in rural areas where homeowners rely on a mix of mostly wood and heating oil. The cost of heating oil, while dependent on industry/individual company pricing, what are the options to lower costs?
The Republicans have killed a bill which would have added a carbon pricing ‘fee’. HB278H.pdf
Natural gas option, while a great idea, has issues due to other neighboring states not allowing pipelines. It is also not a great option for rural homes however with natural gas in cities, the demand may lower thus decreasing pricing for those dependent on oil.
Nuclear energy is the cleanest option however this would take some time to build and establish.
There aren’t any easy answers for immediate relief however NH Republicans are committed to exploring options and saying “NO!” to added fees.
I’m committed to assist in finding ways to lower home heating energy.

Hunting in NH is vital to NH. Be sure to be fully informed by visiting NH Fish and Game Department’s website for all information regarding the upcoming hunting season.
While I don’t personally hunt, I grew up in a hunting family with deer hanging in the garage and a beautiful bear skin hanging behind my dad’s favorite chair.
My dad taught me how to shoot, the importance of harvesting the animal ethically within the rules and honoring the entire process of the hunt. I’m too impatience to sit, be still and the important part-being quiet.
Hunting with bear dogs is a topic that is important for many. The NH Fish and Game Department’s website has all the information about the legalities of and permits to train and hunt with bear dogs.

I had an interesting conversation with a voter about the tourism affects in the northern part of Carroll 2. This district is beautiful and has many attractions available for visitors including ski/hiking/get-aways from the city/etc… Many have second homes, time shares, or rentals through hotels, bed and breakfast venues or through AirBNBs. Housing options are limited and the balance of private home rentals vs affordability for residents is delicate.
More tourism means a boost to the local economy and businesses yet brings traffic and strain on services and resources. I’m actively researching the needs among seven (7) unique towns.
Trail head locations in residential areas are also a concern for locals especially those who live on small country roads. Many trailheads don’t have enough parking thus parking along the road which may interfere with residents and/or emergency services is a huge concern.
Seeing my own tourist visits through the eyes of a local resident, has widened my views. I look forward to my hikes, dining and fun with respect to not visit when lots are full however I often see that many others do not.
I realize this has been a long-standing issue and as tourism increase, so too will these concerns.

While 1A specifies free speech between a citizen and the government, legal precedent has set the standard that in the public arena, speech is protected.

Open carry across state lines…full stop.
Responsible gun owners train and are called to protect.
Protecting our students on campus is vital. Gun-free zones equate to open targets.
Women need to protect themselves.
-
Students are top priority! Public schools are failing our students in many ways. Increased budgets and spending will not increase the educational service to students that focuses on STEM subjects.
EFAs allow the parents to best decide what their child needs and where to get that individualized education.
Funds need to follow the student.

I believe life begins at conception.

NH Law will be supported since it’s the decision of the voters however I will advocate for a Heartbeat Bill.
My goal is to shift the narrative to encourage support for women through pregnancy centers. These centers offer a whole family approach which includes support for all aspects of the motherhood, offering Dad Workshops/support, counseling, and so much more.
Adoption is also a choice.

The sun is not the answer. The infrastructure is not there to continue to spend funds on solar via windmills and panels. The manufacturing in China of these items along with the transportation, installation and maintenance is not environmentally friendly.
-
Forest management is key to sustaining NH’s beauty. I find the most environmentally friendly people are hunters and foresters. NH needs to continue to maintain a healthy forest for all use from recreational to hunting to logging and including a healthy wildlife. Forest management helps reduce the potential of fires.

Women…easily defined.

I fully support ICE and deportations that are focused on the most dangerous. Jocelyn Nungrary would be alive today if not for a dangerous illegal. She along with many others need to be top priority for protecting.
No birthright citizenship.
Improve the process…there’s a way.
