New Hampshire Gubernatorial Election 2018 Political Courage Test
| Pro-choice | a) Do you generally support pro-choice or pro-life legislation? | ||
| Yes | b) Should abortion be legal when the pregnancy resulted from incest or rape? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support the prohibition of public funds for organizations that perform abortions? | ||
| Prevention options should be accessible in public facilities, it costs less to place condom machines in public bathrooms then covering medical costs. There is a financial, emotional, and psychologic cost to a termination - a cost that stays with those involved forever in most cases. Anonymous prevention options are the best course of action. | |||
1) Budget Stabilization:Indicate which proposals you support (if any) for balancing New Hampshire's budget.
| No | a) Do you support the creation of a state income tax in New Hampshire? | ||
| No | b) Reducing state employee salaries AND/OR pensions? | ||
| No | c) Instituting mandatory furloughs AND/OR layoffs for state employees? | ||
| No | d) Reducing benefits for Medicaid recipients? | ||
| Our State employees are paid minimally already and their pensions are not currently fully funded. What I propose: a: get able-bodied people on Medicaid back to work so they can be self-sufficient b: do a line item review of the budget to make sure that our expenditures are all identified on the budget and duplicate expenses are eliminated c: give the private sector those responsibilities where the private sector does better than the State and eliminate those costs from our budget d: increase revenew through bringing in new industry such as hemp cultivation and industry as well as casinos. | |||
| Yes | a) Do you support any limits on campaign contributions to state candidates? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support the regulation of indirect campaign contributions from corporations and unions? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support the use of an independent AND/OR bipartisan commission for redistricting? | ||
| Yes | d) Do you support requiring a government-issued photo identification in order to vote at the polls? | ||
| Yes | e) Do you support imposing penalties on state legislators who fail to attend legislative sessions? | ||
| d: I support the use of a photo-ID for identification purposes, but also support any other form of ID that can be offered as proof that a person is who they claim they are. This is to protect that individual from fraud by another. e: I support penalties for when a legislator misses 40% or more regularly scheduled sessions. As our legislators also have to work, it can sometimes be difficult to make every session. More than this leaves the constituents without representation. They should be allowed to recall for lack of attendance. | |||
| No | a) Do you support capital punishment for certain crimes? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support the legalization of marijuana for recreational purposes? | ||
| Yes | c) Should a minor accused of a violent crime be prosecuted as an adult? | ||
| No | d) Do you support the enforcement of federal immigration laws by state and local police? | ||
| a: Too many people on "death row" have been found innocent after the fact and the cost of a death penalty to the public is higher than life in prison without parole. c: it depends ont he age and crime. Murder in defense, no. Murder due to aggression, yes. d: Our local police should be handling State needs while the Homeland Security should be addressing immigration. | |||
| No | a) Do you support state government spending as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support lowering state taxes as a means of promoting economic growth? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support reducing state government regulations on the private sector? | ||
| Yes | d) Do you support expanding access to unemployment benefits? | ||
| No | e) Do you support requiring welfare applicants to pass a drug test in order to receive benefits? | ||
| No | f) Do you support an increase of the minimum wage of New Hampshire? | ||
| c: regulations should protect people, if the regulation does not protect the life, property, or liberty of the people - it inhibits them. d: Unemployment is an insurance program used as a gap filler between jobs. With the growing needs of employers taking longer for people to find new employment at previous wage levels or their previous field. e: I do not support all benefits being withheld pending drug testing. This could put people out on the street if they have a false positive leading to additional problems that the state will have to pay for at a greater cost. | |||
| No | a) Do you support adopting federal education standards in New Hampshire? | ||
| Yes | b) Do you support state funding for charter schools? | ||
| c) Should immigrants unlawfully present in the United States who graduate from New Hampshire high schools be eligible for in-state tuition at public universities? | |||
| c: I would encourage anyone who is unlawfully present in NH to begin the green card process so that they can be here legally. In-State tuition, by definition, is for people who live in the state of NH. Legal status is not part of that definition. However, a SSN or Green Card ID is required when submitting an application so a person who is unlawfully in the state would not have this information. | |||
| No | a) Do you support state funding for the development of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind, thermal)? | ||
| No | b) Do you support state government regulations of greenhouse gas emissions? | ||
| Yes | c) Do you support increasing state funding for clean drinking water initiatives? | ||
| a: I support encouraging private sector to develop renewable energy & keeping regulations from interfering b: Regulations such as the Carbon Tax have incentivized purchasing the right to pollute c: Regulations that promote those who pollute and keep those who are trying to fix the issues from continuing is a disservice. By doing things like legalizing hemp so that we can start reversing the damage done to our environment we start fixing these problems. However, the state holds a responsibility to keep people safe from harm and should be doing what is necessary to do so when damage is done | |||
| No | a) Do you generally support gun-control legislation? | ||
| No | b) Should background checks be required on gun sales between private citizens at gun shows? | ||
| Yes | c) Should teachers be allowed to bring guns into the classroom? | ||
| No | d) Should a license be required for gun ownership? | ||
| In regard to gun shows - the laws should not be different depending on where a private citizen sells a firearm. I searched and found no record of a gun sold at a gun show in NH used in the commission of a crime. Schools must protect the children and staff there. If a teacher wants to carry a firearm, it is vital that they have appropriate training and a lock box in the room. | |||
| Yes | a) Should the state government increase funding for treatment facilities to combat opioid abuse? | ||
| b) Do you support Medicaid expansion through New Hampshire's health care programs? | |||
| No | c) Do you support requiring individuals to purchase health care insurance? | ||
| Yes | d) Do you support legislation that grants citizens the right to choose to die through euthanasia? | ||
| No | e) Do you support eliminating religious exemptions for vaccinations? | ||
| I support promoting a program that gets people off government funded programs in all cases where they have the ability to do so (people who have permanent disabilities that need Medicaid services should not be discouraged from using the program). | |||
| a) Do you support the inclusion of sexual orientation in New Hampshire's anti-discrimination laws? | |||
| b) Do you support the inclusion of gender identity in New Hampshire's anti-discrimination laws? | |||
| c) Do you support greater efforts by New Hampshire state government in closing the pay gap between men and women? | |||
| I support changing our anti-discrimination law to state that all humans are equal and shall be treated without discrimination. | |||
| Education Funding - Equal opportunity to all students in the state without burdening the taxpayers in smaller districts. Opioid Addiction - Treatment option accessibility Small Business - promotion of new entrepreneurs through a 5 year tax ramp-up programing allowing new entrepreneurs to build up to their tax responsibility Oversight - Making sure that our government is held accountable to the people it is in place to represent |
