Prepared to navigate New Hampshire's issues today
|
- We need to insure access and availability of healthcare in rural NH in the face of consolidation.
- While Obamacare has expanded access to healthcare for many people, for small business owners and middle class people, it has raised costs and decreased coverage.
- We need to mitigate job loss from local businesses to box stores and online retailers.
- We need to keep our businesses competitive by avoiding unfair taxes and over-regulation.
- Prior to 2010, Carroll County was the fastest growing part of NH. Since then, Jobs and population are declining. We need to restore the NH advantage, reverse this trend and create opportunities for our children.
- Loss of economic opportunity and lack of adequate treatment are the major forces causing the opioid crisis.
- My wife and I have home schooled our children for 25 years, and I have and will continue to defend the rights of families' to home school their children without governmental interference.
- In general, I support the right to bear arms and have taught all 5 of my children to shoot safely.
- We need to make sure vocal minorities don't compromise the rights of others, especially the right to vote.
- I served on the HB 264 Commission to make birth control pills available in NH directly from pharmacists behind the counter as in California, Oregon, Washington and Colorado resulting in HB1822 (passed House and Senate)
- I helped write and cosponsored HB1577 providing more consumer protections for dental anesthesia equivalent to other anesthesia services (passed House and Senate)
- I support the reauthorization of Medicaid Expansion SB313 (passed House and Senate)
