Marie B. Morgan completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Morgan's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- We all have opinions and that will never change. But we must be careful to base important decisions on facts. One can believe that Moose Tracks ice cream is the best flavor of all and that's okay because that opinion doesn't impact anyone else except the vendor who may not have it on hand. However, when a legislator must vote on a bill, it is imperative to research and understand the key facts related to that bill. This requires one to verify the legitimacy of the source of the facts. Is the source neutral or will the source benefit from the passing or defeat of the bill? As a legislator I will do my best to research the facts related to a bill and vote according to how the bill helps all Granite Staters.
- Besides the issue of opinions versus facts, another issue which will come up often in the legislature is fairness or unbiased or equitable treatment. Is it fair for retired, elderly homeowners to pay rising property taxes for schools when they have no children or grandchildren in those schools? Is it fair for women to be paid less than men when both are doing the same job? Is it fair that when a union negotiates with management for all workers, then all the workers should contribute to the costs of such negotiations? Whether the bill impacts a public or private entity, I hope in these cases, I can base my vote on facts and the impact of the decision on all Granite Staters.
- As a NH state legislator I promise to:
- listen to the people with opinions and those with facts; - consider all aspects of a bill and work to reduce any negative impact it may have on any section of our people or our economy; and
- communicate with my constituents regarding their concerns and their input on bills that affect them.
I believe the state should not be giving public funds to families for homeschooling or private or religious schools unless there is a well documented record showing the student has problems in the public school which might be reduced at a private school.
