Michael DiTommaso did not complete Ballotpedia's 2022 Candidate Connection survey.
2020
Michael DiTommaso completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2020. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by DiTommaso's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Michael seeks to ease our onerous property taxes and figure out a smarter way to fund the needs of our municipalities.
- Michael cares deeply about the people and culture of New Hampshire, and wants young people to stay in the state.
- Michael is a champion of economic fairness-in wages, taxation, and affordable housing.
Michael is also outspoken about the sanctity of our democratic process. He believes that restoring faith in democracy means safeguarding our process to ensure the will of the people is heard. And he knows that means being open to changes that shore up faith in the execution and outcomes of our elections. New Hampshire must be a national leader and model for the rest of the country. Our state has long held a revered spot in national politics, and we must live up to the deference we receive.
It was through programs such as food stamps and education grants that he was able to improve his condition and eventually get the college education that neither of his parents could. Now, he wants to keep New Hampshire on the right track and make sure it's the kind of place where he and people like him can set down their roots and live for the rest of their lives.
It's true that personal relationships should not be the reason that legislation is advanced, but instead, relationships should develop which allow people to talk frankly, and really hear criticism in a constructive light, and not reject it out of hand.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public.
