I'm a Marine Corps Infantry veteran, current software engineer, and moved to New Hampshire in 2020 to escape the lockdowns of Massachusetts. I am running for office to prevent the type of tyranny we experienced due to the overreaction of the state and federal governments from ever occurring again. My focus is on reducing the size and scope of government, and restricting the circumstances under which emergency powers can be used, the duration they can be in effect, and what businesses can be effected. Deeming Wal-mart and McDonald's as essential, while shuttering gyms and small businesses is a disgusting abuse of corporatist power wielded by the government to the benefit of lobbying interests at the expense of you and I. Your livelihood is NOT non-essential.
  • Reduce the ability for governments to destroy our livelihoods through unnecessary, open-ended states of emergency.
  • Prevent Federal interference in our state and in our everyday lives, whether it be vaccine mandates, lockdowns, or failed gun control polices.
  • Continue to reduce tax burdens with commensurate spending reduction at the state.
State and Federal overreach

State of emergency reform
Over-taxation and wasteful spending
Civil liberties, due process
Firearm ownership
Victimless laws
DCYF reform

Education freedom
Former Congressman Ron Paul. He single-handedly shaped my interest in politics. He was one of the only people to vote against the war in Iraq, against pressure from his party. That is the kind of attitude I adopted - unwavering against peer pressure, sticking to principles when I know I'm right.

His fiscal policy and economic knowledge were unparalleled when he served and helped spark the Tea Party movement, bringing us great legislators like Thomas Massie, Justin Amash, and his son, Rand Paul.
Fiscal responsibility

Understanding and respect for liberty

Ability to plan ahead
Honesty, integrity, critical thinking, fiscal responsibility, respect for the individual.
To serve on behalf of his constituents and address their concerns. Even if they didn't vote for you, it's important to not forget that you are their voice in Concord.
I protected New Hampshire citizens from state and federal overreach, allowing businesses and families to thrive in freest state in the nation.
OJ Simpson trial is the first one I remember, but obviously 9/11 was a far bigger and more influential one on the direction of my life.
Lifeguard in high school for a couple years.
Followed by USMC 0311 for 4 year enlistment.
Dune - every other SciFi epic lifted something from it. It was the OG.
In my head right now - Ultimate Sandwich by Ninja Sex Party.
The governor should execute on the laws written by the legislature.
Granite staters will be recovering from the economic disaster caused by the 2020 lockdowns for the next decade. The world economy grinded to a halt, restarting that engine is going to take pain and time. We must remain vigilant and remember the current suffering caused by big government to prevent any future attempts to push tyranny on the people under the guise of "emergency."
In New Hampshire, the joke is that the House is for the people, and the Senate is for lobbyists, and it appears to be true.

However, the solution isn't to do away with the senate, as checks in balances in the bill making process are important. The solution is to vote in better senators.

A unicameral legislature would create a bigger choke point where special interests could hijack the entirety of the law writing power. It's always better to have gridlock than a floodgate for bad policy.
Yes, but I also favor term limits. The limits should be for each held office, allowing experience and favorability with voters to carry successful people up the chain.
Yes, the more individuals working together on a bill, the less chance for something to fall through the cracks. Building bridges across the aisle should also be considered, but polarization in the current political climate makes that extremely difficult. I consider myself rather moderate on several topics (criminal justice reform, drug decriminalization, etc) and would be willing to help the other side with improvements in those, I just would like them to reciprocate in other areas.
I'd like an open-source algorithm to calculate districts.
Hershel Nunez has been a great help to me during my campaign process, and his voting record is identical to my feeling towards bills.
No, my interest is to protect the people of New Hampshire from Federal interference, and the best place for that is here at home crafting bills to nullify the Federal government.
Democrats are the anti-war party.
Yes. The governor should only have a limited window when enacting a state of emergency. Any extension beyond the 2nd state should be voted on by the people's representation.
It is necessary, but only on the margins of issues to help craft a strong bill that takes edge-cases into account. The other scenario would be a stepping-stone legislation that starts moving in a good direction.

For example, if cannabis legalization is impossible to pass, voting "no" on a compromise bill that decriminalizes it just because it "doesn't go far enough" is a foolish vote.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in New Hampshire

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.
