Education
- Excerpt: "It is Kass' unqualified belief that we cannot be a great State without putting forth our greatest efforts in government to protect and defend the institution of public education. A quality public education system is a basic building block of a well-educated workforce that will attract innovation, entrepreneurs and well-paying jobs to our State."
Access to Quality Healthcare
- Excerpt: "Maintaining good health is a critical factor in assessing quality of life. All citizens deserve access to quality healthcare services, and Kass believes that the expansion of medicaid in NH to people of lower income was the right thing to do. A healthy population is the engine for a vibrant economy that benefits everyone in the state."
Equal Rights/Equal Opportunities
- Excerpt: "Kass supports the privacy rights of women to decide issues of reproductive health. Kass also believes strongly that gender should not be a factor in pay policies of employers. We have to fight to close the wage gap that exists between men and women so that our economy can realize the full productive potential of all our citizens."
Attracting Good, Well-Paying Jobs for Our Citizens – Progressive Economic Development
- Excerpt: "As Senator, Kass is committed to ensuring that New Hampshire continues to be an attractive environment for new businesses that offer well-paying jobs to our families. Currently, New Hampshire’s unemployment rate is seventh lowest in the nation, but we need to do more to keep our economy moving forward for all of our citizens."
