Key Issues

My Record

I went to Concord to get things done. 7 bills I wrote became law in my first term. 13 more bills I co-sponsored became law. Here's some of what I achieved:

Secured Our Elections

A government-issued photo ID to get a ballot. A student ID does not count. HB323.

Security researchers now have a way to report a hole in the elections systems before someone else finds it. HB626

Cut Government Red Tape

You no longer have to dig out so many papers just to renew a registration. The title and the bill of sale are needed only at the first registration, or when the car changes hands. HB1549

Defended Individual Rights

The pistol carry permit application stops asking for information that the state does not need. HB1365

NRA endorsed, “A” rating.

Strengthened Government Accountability

The Grafton County attorney works for the county, not a private client. HB1003

Protected Taxpayers

I wrote the constitutional amendment to ban an income tax. It would have barred any tax on wages or personal income.

All but four Democrat politicians voted it down, including the incumbents in Canaan and Enfield, who then tried to create a progressive income tax. CACR10

The Granite Guarantee

Signed. Seven promises, in writing.

1. Ban an Income Tax — Forever

No income tax. No sales tax. I wrote the amendment. I signed the pledge. I will vote to put the ban on the ballot until it gets there.

2. Cap Your Property Tax

The biggest bill most families in this district pay. I will vote for a hard cap, with voters, not Concord, holding the pen on local increases.

3. Cut Even More Red Tape

I sit on the planning board and the budget committee in Orange. I will keep voting to repeal overly burdensome rules that cost you time and money.

4. Lower Energy Bills

We pay some of the highest rates in the country. Expand supply. End the mandates that raise the bill. No subsidies for favored solutions.

5. Lower Health Care Costs

Patient choice, price transparency, more competition, and the state out from between you and your doctor.

6. Parents Decide

Parents, not bureaucrats. I will defend the Parental Bill of Rights and keep school choice with families. The House passed a parent’s right to a child’s electronic medical records. The Senate killed it. I will file it again.

7. Support Public Safety

Ten years as a volunteer EMT and EMS chief here. I will back the people who do that work.
