I consider myself to be a constitutional Republican. I believe in a strong interpretation and respect of the New Hampshire Constitution
and in our United States Constitution. I believe that the rights of the individual are the key to a free and prosperous society. We
should feel confident in the free market and we should always be skeptical of the unintended consequences of regulation.
Below
are very important issues in today's New Hampshire.
CITIZEN LEGISLATURE - The primary issue of my candidacy is that more people
should be able to take part in state government. Because sessions are becoming longer, working people are not able to put time into
public service. We can change this by passing fewer laws, working to repeal existing laws through a Constitutional Spot Check committee,
and by maintaining the spirit of New Hampshire's citizen legislature.
TAXES AND SPENDING - I pledge to never vote for a
state income or sales tax. I believe that government should be streamlined and operated in such a way that all of our citizens are
proud of their quality of life and the efficiencies in their state government. I want New Hampshire to be a place where people come
to work within a Constitutional system of limited government. Fiscal responsibility is essential.
EDUCATION - Education is best served
at the local level. Each community is unique and the interests of our towns are always better left to local parents and teachers.
I appreciate and encourage an increase in private schools and home schooling. I do not believe in the current system where larger
towns and cities are in essence paying for schools in smaller communities.
SOVEREIGNTY - I believe in the rights of states
to work under their unique constitutional and legislative systems. I oppose all efforts of the federal government to get
involved in the decision making processes of states. I will always work against state adoption of unconstitutional laws like
REAL ID and I will never support legislation because of strings attached by the federal government. (i.e. I will not support a seat
belt law to get "millions" in funding from the federal government.)
ENERGY - I support efforts to reduce New Hampshire's gas
tax and other measures (i.e. tax credits) that encourage the use of alternative energy.
SECOND AMENDMENT - I support the right
to keep and bear arms 100%. "If we outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns."
CIVIL LIBERTIES - Individuals should have sole
control over their lives. What does not impose on the equal rights of another person should not be legislated.
