Education is the foundation of a free, prosperous society. Teachers should be paid like the professionals they are, while unnecessary administrative bloat is reduced.
New Hampshire must invest in her students as whole people: Later school start times, guaranteed recess, strong physical education and health standards, modern science and reading curricula, and universal access to breakfast and lunch are all proven methods for improving our students’ outcomes. 

An educated population is not a luxury, it is a prerequisite for liberty and prosperity.

Stewardship is the obligation to leave New Hampshire stronger than we found it. This means planning for the long term instead of reacting to the short term. New Hampshire must protect its forests, waters, night skies, and all our natural beauty while also ensuring our infrastructure is able to meet the demands of modern society.

Stewardship requires energy systems that are reliable, clean, and capable of meeting real-world demands. Nuclear power is the only proven technology that can deliver abundant, carbon-free energy at a grid scale while preserving land, wildlife, and grid stability. Intermittent renewable sources alone cannot meet the energy needs of modern society cheaply or in an environmentally friendly way. 

New Hampshire should lead the country in choosing solutions grounded in physics, actual environmental stewardship, and not wishful thinking.

New Hampshire has a long and storied tradition of citizen government and local representation, but even here our democratic systems are being strained by outdated election methods and a growing distance between voters and those elected to represent them. Our representation no longer scales with population, our elections are often won by candidates who receive less than half of the vote, and our system is repeatedly abused by representatives who shift boundaries so that they can choose their constituents, rather than the other way around. 

I will champion bold reforms that strengthen our representation by calling on our federal delegation to expand the House of Representatives, and modernize how we vote with a voting method such as STAR to ensure the majority is heard.

In New Hampshire, Live Free or Die is not just a slogan, it is the ethos that binds us all together. Our rights are meaningful only when they are protected consistently and enforced transparently, and respected by every level of authority. This means defending free speech, expanding safeguards to personal privacy in an age of mass data collection, upholding the protections of Article 2-a and the Second Amendment, and the ever important right to bodily autonomy, including the freedom to make personal choices about one’s own health and consciousness, and the freedom of consenting adults to define their own private relationships without government interference. Liberty dies when power, be it governmental or corporate, operates behind masks, exceptions, or emergency declarations. A free state requires visible authority, equal protection under the law, and institutions that answer to the people they serve. 

New Hampshire’s housing shortage is the product of regulatory constraints and overreach that have limited supply growth despite an ever increasing demand. Over time,exclusionary zoning, minimum lot sizes, and use restrictions have reduced housing availability, increased costs, and placed growing strain on employers, municipal budgets, and local businesses. We should have reforms that legalize and encourage missing-middle housing such as accessory dwelling units, duplexes, small multifamily buildings, and mixed-use development, especially in areas close to downtowns.

We need growth that strengthens Main Streets, improves housing affordability, and helps New Hampshire attract and retain young working professionals. As our population ages, ensuring that teachers, nurses, and tradespeople can afford to live near where they work is crucial to strengthening our economy and making New Hampshire a state that works for everyone.

Public safety and justice depend on legitimacy. When the state exercises coercive power through policing, prosecution, incarceration, and punishment it must do so transparently and proportionally. The government must not be seen as operating in the shadows: Officers of the law should all wear body cameras and maintain clear identification, and operate in clearly marked vehicles, and the state should not lend resources to other institutions that do not align with these principles.

I believe we must also reexamine the fundamental nature of our criminal justice system. Should it be punitive, or restorative? For the sake of society we must work to foster rehabilitation whenever possible, looking to the Nordic model of prisons to reduce our recidivism rates, encourage community service for non-violent offenders, keep the death penalty banned so long as the government is incapable of guaranteeing absolute certainty in their decision, and recognize the right to vote as the most fundamental civil right including amongst those incarcerated, because democracy cannot function if the government is allowed to decide who is allowed to vote.
