- "In Congress, I will also oppose earmarks and any government wasteful spending." (www.karolineforcongress.com)
- "As Democrats in Congress use infrastructure as a buzz word to slam through their partisan priorities, I will work to refocus the conversation on improving our bridges, fixing our roads, investing in our communities, and creating good-paying jobs along the way. I will also fight to increase access to rural broadband across our state, especially in our most rural communities. In this modern digital age when so many work and learn online, there is no excuse for limited internet access in any of our communities." (www.karolineforcongress.com)

- "Highest inflation in 31 years!! Shame on every Democrat AND Republican who ignored this crisis and just voted for another TRILLION dollar spending spree." (twitter.com)
- "Leave it Democrats in DC to think the solution to our economic crisis is spending more taxpayer dollars. In the midst of a recession, a $433 billion dollar bill that includes $369 billion for 'climate change', will only worsen the record high inflation we are experiencing" (twitter.com)
- "The record-high inflation manufactured by Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and Chris Pappas is a weekly PAY CUT -costing every New Hampshire family $700/month When in Congress, I will fight to STOP the spending to lower inflation & return MORE money to hardworking Granite Staters!" (twitter.com)

- "Secure elections are vital to the strength and security of our democracy, and I will oppose any and all Democrat-backed attempts to undermine them. Our elections can and should be both secure AND accessible. Despite false and misleading media coverage, states like Georgia, Florida, and Texas have shown that the right policies can make it easier for all eligible voters to cast their vote while also ensuring that ONLY eligible votes are counted!" (www.karolineforcongress.com)

(www.karolineforcongress.com)
- "New Hampshire has one of the highest capacities of gun ownership of any state in the country, and historically low crime. As the next Congresswoman for #NH01, I will always protect the Second Amendment Right of my law-abiding, freedom-loving constituents. LIVE FREE OR DIE!" (twitter.com)

- "For far too long, we have been paying far too much for prescription drugs because government regulations prevent patients and health plans from negotiating better deals on the open market. Drug companies and special interest groups are gaming the system to keep patients in the dark about how much they will owe for their care and drive out competition through unfair practices. Our senior citizens have been particularly hit hard, as they pay far more than they should for Medicare Part B and Part D services. Under President Trump, the federal government finally took action to increase price transparency and force Big Pharma to play by the rules - but more work is needed." (www.karolineforcongress.com)
- "I will push the Biden Department of Health and Human Services to reinstitute President Trumps successful reforms and drive down prescription drug prices. Obamacare was a disastrous policy that sent premiums sky-high for millions of Americans, and we cant allow President Biden to pass similar policies, especially when so many Granite Staters are still recovering from the economic effects of the pandemic." (www.karolineforcongress.com)
- "I will fight to end the Biden Border Crisis by proposing legislation that has ZERO tolerance for illegal immigration, finishing construction of the border wall, and empowering our brave immigration law enforcement officers to do the jobs theyre trained to do. And I will NEVER support amnesty for individuals who broke our laws to come here." (www.karolineforcongress.com)
- "The United States of America is a nation of laws - and this includes our immigration laws. A strong nation must have strong borders, period. President Biden and his Administration have failed to uphold that basic principle and our country has dramatically suffered as a result. Deadly drugs are pouring into our country and poisoning Granite State communities that have already suffered from the opioid crisis. Dangerous criminals like MS-13 gang members and coyotes are engaged in horrific episodes of human trafficking, including of young children, all fueled by the Biden administrations promises of an open border."

- "Biden cant answer the question because the Democrats wont do ANYTHING to combat inflation. In fact, they want to spend MORE money, including another $12 BILLION for Ukraine! @ChrisPappasNH has voted 100% for Bidens spending. He is 100% responsible for the dire inflation." (twitter.com)
- "It is my goal to represent the needs of the people of New Hampshire, not the people of Ukraine. Right now, we are facing record high-inflation and a crippling national debt. I could not, in good conscience, vote to send $40 BILLION more tax dollars overseas. #NH01 #NHPolitics" (twitter.com)
- "My statement on the disappointing passage of $40 Billion to Ukraine: If I were in Congress today, I would not have voted to send billions more tax dollars abroad that will further drive up inflation and hurt families here at home -- that's what America FIRST is all about." (twitter.com)
- "I will always fight to CUT taxes, and I pledge to oppose ANY tax increase because hard-working families across our state deserve to keep MORE of their hard earned money, not less. I was proud to work in the Trump Administration as we delivered historic tax cuts, benefiting millions of American families just like my own and creating one of the most robust economies in history." (www.karolineforcongress.com)
- "I will support lowering our corporate tax rate to make America competitive again in the global marketplace and increase job opportunities here at home, rather than abroad." (www.karolineforcongress.com)
