Expand all | Collapse all

Heath grew up in Strafford and went to public schools graduating from Spaulding High School in 2018. He is currently a student at the University of New Hampshire studying History and got involved in local politics after breaking his back twice.
  • Fund our public schools to the level they are constitutionally required.
  • Look to bring in competition for our internet service providers to drive rates down and speeds up.
  • Affordable and accessible healthcare that serves Granite Staters.
Healthcare because of my personal medical history and the problems I've dealt with in that space.
It is important that our leaders are pragmatic. Knowing how to compromise and when to not is an necessary skill to providing for our constituents.
While serving on the House Election Law Committee this past term, I fought for a number of transparency reforms to make it clear where candidates are funded.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Hampshire

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Click here for an overview of legislative scorecards in all 50 states.  To contribute to the list of New Hampshire scorecards, email suggestions to editor@ballotpedia.org.
