Campaign themes
2012
In a submission, Harman told Ballotpedia:[1]
Through active open communication with all the state legislators, leaders and the constituents of my district we will determine how best to serve the needs of New Hampshire residents. Using a common sense approach to government and decency and respect within the leadership, even when we do not agree. Parents have the primary role and responsibility of raising their children, and they should be applauded for their hard work rather than being concerned about legislation that usurps their vital role of providing guidance and direction to future generations of leaders. Provide incentives to Granite State businesses to grow in NH, others to come to NH, and many to return to NH- those that have left due to unfriendly regulations. There is a strong movement for individuals to invest in local sustainable agriculture by supporting local farms and NH made products. Growing our lagging food and farm production in NH will help us to be more capable and self-reliant, and that is the NH Way!
