| Collapse all
- We need to secure reproductive rights. New Hampshire values individual liberty. How someone expresses their gender is up to them, not the government. Women seeking medical advice need our courtesy and respect. We must work quickly and decisively to protect our rights to individual freedom of choice.
- Housing is the first step towards a stable economy. New Hampshire must launch an initiative to build homes. We need to address cost of living issues such as healthcare and childcare
- We can fund education without raising property taxes on hard working homeowners and small business owners. New Hampshire youth are all our children!
