Collapse all
|A lawyer and real estate professional, I have lived in Dunbarton for over 25 year. I am a husband and father of four grown children. Born and raised in New Hampshire, I am running because I love this state and I feel it’s about time I stepped up to help fix the things that need fixing.
New Hampshire is struggling, and we can do better. We have a very expensive cost-of-living, especially housing, an unfair system of taxation, often inadequate public education, the ongoing opioid epidemic, and so many other problems.
I want New Hampshire to be the best it can be. I will prioritize fair taxation, affordable, housing, and quality public education.- I support a fair system of taxation in New Hampshire. Currently our property taxes are not equitable and often too high.
- I support high quality public education and that means adequate funding. Our crazy school funding system short changes, our children, and drives up some of our property taxes unfairly. The crazy voucher system put in by the Republicans makes things even worse.
- I support developing more affordable housing. Many of our children cannot stay in New Hampshire because they cannot afford the cost of housing and this needs to change.
And there are so many other issues that need to be tackled. Drug abuse. Reproductive rights. Safeguarding democracy the bottom line is we need an effective team in state government and I hope you will give me your vote.
