Wendy Larson completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Larson's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- Strong supporter of our Public Schools and having the State provide more public school funding which will lower our tax bills. Additionally we must honor our teachers and allow them to teach without outside interference and intimidation.
- A Proponent for Reproductive Rights NH is the only New England State that does not have a Constitutional Amendment allowing women the right to abortion. I worry that continuing with the radical right agenda will further tighten the current NH abortion law. This will make NH less desirable for young families who we need desperately to attract and keep as the future generations of NH.
- Sensible Gun Safety Laws The current radical right continues to loosen NH gun laws making us one of the worst states in the Union for gun safety. Last session alone was adopted that employees could have loaded firearms in their locked vehicles at work. What could go wrong ? Suicide by gun is the #1 way gun death happens in NH. Mental health issues tie into this figure. Yet a person with mental health issues or a history of domestic violence can easily purchase a gun. We need to make changes is the gun laws in NH and I will help make that happen.
