Candidate Connection

Hans Larsson participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on September 6, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Hans Larsson's responses follow below.[1]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

“ My priorities are to maintain NH's character and advantages, preserving individual liberty and enhancing the NH environment that encourages success and improved quality of life.[2][3] ”

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

“ I am a strong supporter of right-to-life issues, matters of individual liberty and limited government, and policies that facilitate growth and success of individuals, families, and businesses.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[3] ”

Ballotpedia also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Hans Larsson answered the following:

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?

“ My two favorite presidents are Ronald Reagan and Ulysses Grant. I wish I had Reagan's oratory skill. I have always loved the redemption story of Grant, from a disgraceful post on the frontier to U.S. president.[3] ”
What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?
“ I think a strong set of morals is necessary for a politician to navigate the contentious issues that surely come in governing with a goal of the people's freedom and happiness. The politician must absolutely know right from wrong and be willing to resolutely defend what is right and good. "[V]irtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government." - George Washington[3] ”
What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?
“ I have always sought to understand both sides of an issue that I might have to defend. My approach to conflict is to be cooperative and collaborative where possible and to try to understand another's point of view to better argue my own view.[3] ”
What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?
“ Govern in the least intrusive and expensive way possible while still achieving the responsibilities of the state.[3] ”
What legacy would you like to leave?
“ If possible I would like to like the state of NH to become an example of limited government that raises the quality of life of all inhabitants.[3] ”
What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at that time?
“ I remember marching in costume during the American Bicentenial celebrations in 1975-81, starting with a reenactment of Benedict Arnold's march on Quebec. I was six or seven years old.[3] ”
What was your very first job? How long did you have it?
“ I peeled and cubed hundreds of pounds of potatoes at George's restaurant in Meredith, NH. It started my first career in the restaurant business that culminated in an assistant manager job at a restaurant in Florida years later.[3] ”
What is your favorite book? Why?
“ Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I love the twisted humor and clever way the plot unexpectedly connects throughout the trilogy.[3] ”
If you could be any fictional character, who would you be?
“ Indiana Jones. It would be an exciting life and he always defeated the bad guys.[3] ”
What is your favorite thing in your home or apartment? Why?
“ I am currently engrossed in home automation and how it can make life easier and save money (and natural resources).[3] ”
What is something that has been a struggle in your life?
“ Remaining strong and still proceeding with life during an illness.[3] ”
Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?
“ It certainly is an advantage to know how the physics of government work in the real world outside of our high-school civics class. It would be important to an official without experience but with a desire to make change to seek out and depend on legislators who have been there before.[3] ”
What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?
“ Continue to grow the economy and subsequent revenue to stem the opioid crisis and transition the poor and working poor to higher socioeconomic status.[3] ”
