Strong Public Schools

Safe, healthy and well funded public schools are essential for our New Hampshire communities to grow and thrive. I also support affordable in-state higher education, including vocational technical schools, to keep our young people in state.

Reproductive and Healthcare Rights

Everyone deserves comprehensive, affordable health care, including better and more available mental health services. I support the fundamental right to abortion, contraception and family planning. I also support the treatment of those affected by substance use disorder in New Hampshire’s continuing fight against the harmful impacts of alcohol and other drugs.

Gun Violence Prevention

I am a Gun Sense Candidate and support commonsense gun reforms to keep our children safe, to reduce gun related suicide deaths, and to protect victims of domestic violence. Specific measures I support include increased access to mental health support, red flag provisions, and safe storage of firearms.

Our Beautiful NH Environment

Protecting our environment is critical to the New Hampshire economy and to our younger generations. New Hampshire needs a comprehensive climate change plan that includes clean and affordable renewable energy and energy efficiency. I support healthy drinking water and clean lakes and rivers, and I will work to preserve forests and open spaces.

Housing Affordability Crisis

The housing shortage in New Hampshire affects so many people, from workers who can’t find affordable housing near their jobs, to young families who worry they will never be able to buy a home, to the increasing number of housing-insecure individuals and families. Housing is a complicated problem, but with coordination of local, state and federal efforts, I know we can make progress.
