| Collapse all
- Reproductive rights, affordable housing, and addressing climate change are at the forefront of my campaign. I stand firmly against any legislation that comes between individuals and their medical providers. Abortion bans are a threat to the well-being of people who can become pregnant, and I will actively support legislation that codifies the right to abortion in New Hampshire.
- We must also prioritize affordable housing. I believe in creating more housing options through new construction, updated zoning policies, and rent stabilization measures. It's crucial for our state's growth to attract and retain young talent, and affordable housing is critical to achieving this.
- The effects of climate change felt acutely here on the seacoast. Many residents and businesses are situated in flood zones, facing the immediate impacts of a changing climate. I am dedicated to ensuring that legislative actions not only bolster our economy but also contribute positively to our environment. By reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the growth of green jobs, we can combat climate change while securing a sustainable and prosperous future.

Scorecards
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.
