Ballotpedia survey responses

Matt Sabourin completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Sabourin's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- The commercial fishing industry is already the 7th most regulated industry in the united states, and the nearly 1 million acre Offshore Wind Lease in the Gulf of Maine threatens the livelihood of Seacoast Fishermen, the balance of the northern Atlantic fisheries, and will bring ruin to a 400 year skill set as well as our seacoast travel and tourism industry. Several species of fish and crustaceans will have their migratory routes and spawning grounds disrupted. Seabrook harbor used to have 90 fishing boats and due to regulations, is now down to less than 10. Chlorinating 8.1M gallons of seawater/day for windmills with 30-50% efficiency at the cost of $10M/mile of cabling is not green, is not America First, and is not New Hampshire First.
- I will champion traditional conservative values. The stewardship of the 2nd Amendment, as well as the entire Bill of Rights – is not a negotiation. I oppose any attempt at gun control and Red Flag Laws. No tax increases and I will work to optimize existing government bodies and cut unnecessary government spending to mitigate the property tax burden. I will oppose any attempt at a sales or income tax. I support the right to work & lowering the Business Enterprise Tax. I oppose Central Bank Digital Currency. I support the concept of cryptocurrency and precious metals as money. I also support the 10th amendment and believe that Nullification and Interposition are the best tactics for states to combat overreach and incompetence from D.C.
- The innocence of children must be protected at school. The nuclear family is the center of society and I believe that parents are the ultimate arbiters of the type of education their children should receive and that public education should concentrate on promoting the academic achievement and personal responsibility of students. I was once a public school substitute teacher and believe that adherence to a one-size-fits-all educational system hampers student performance. I support the expansion of Education Freedom Accounts & School Choice. Additionally, I support granting subpoena power to House Committees so the special investigation for the Sununu Youth Detention Center sex abuse victims can proceed with teeth.

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.
