On the issues...

I believe that public education is one of the cornerstones of democracy. As your representative, I will be committed to funding public schools to provide every child with a quality education. Ensuring appropriately staffed Special Education programs are in place is crucial for equity in our schools. I will work tirelessly to advocate for state-funded resources and support that all students deserve in order to thrive in a free appropriate public education setting. Mental health services are a vital component of education, and I will push for accessible and comprehensive support for all students. Additionally, I understand the importance of a balanced curriculum that includes sports, art and music classes, and vocational training, which are essential for fostering creativity, teamwork, and belonging. Our teachers and support staff are the backbone of our educational system, and they deserve our support and respect. I will strongly oppose unchecked school vouchers that divert much-needed funds away from public schools. Lastly, I am passionate that all teachers, staff, and students have the fundamental right to work and learn in a safe environment.

I firmly reject all attempts to undermine legitimate election results. I support policies that make voting more accessible, including absentee voting and conditional, affidavit ballots for new voters. I believe that every eligible citizen should have the opportunity to participate in our democracy. Additionally, I will advocate for the necessary training, resources, and protections that enable our election officials to perform their duties effectively, fairly, and safely. 

I am deeply committed to safeguarding our town's natural resources for the benefit of future generations. I will champion stronger protections for the health and safety of our lakes and ponds, fight to restore well-radius safeguards for our drinking water, and support legislation to regulate PFAS-containing products. Furthermore, I will oppose any plans to place landfills near water bodies, ensuring a clean and safe environment for all.

I believe medical decisions are best made between a patient and their medical professional. I fully support legal protections for residents of other states who travel to New Hampshire for healthcare, as well as for medical professionals who perform reproductive procedures. Additionally, I stand by the right of individuals and families to decide when and how to have children. 

I am committed to improving communication between our representatives and the community. I will actively seek input from stakeholders to ensure all voices are heard and considered. To maintain transparency, I will publish my votes in the our local newspapers, along with the reasoning behind decisions. Additionally, I will hold listening sessions to engage directly with constituents, addressing their concerns and ideas.

• I believe in the dignity and worth of every person, regardless of their sexual orientation, gender identity, race, or religion.

• I support common-sense gun legislation such as expanded background checks, allowing extreme risk protection orders, and a 3-day waiting period for firearm purchases.
