Collapse all
|- I will work to make NH more economically viable for all residents. Top issues are the lack of housing at working and middle class income levels and the lack of affordable child care.
- I will work on making NH more environmentally forward thinking. This would be prioritizing water quality, developing a long term plan to address climate change, developing more green energy infrastructure and decreasing our reliance on fossil fuels.
- I will support reproductive freedom and access to affordable health care. I believe in a universal health insurance program at the federal level. I will do what I can to support affordable health care at the state level.

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.
