Issue Positions

For Presidential and Congressional candidates who refuse to provide voters with their positions, Vote Smart has researched their public records to determine their likely responses. These issue positions are from 2024.

  • "Local leaders in New Hampshire know best how to represent us on most issues affecting our daily lives, which is why I am a strong advocate for issues ranging from abortion to education being legislated right here in New Hampshire." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "Local leaders in New Hampshire know best how to represent us on most issues affecting our daily lives, which is why I am a strong advocate for issues ranging from abortion to education being legislated right here in New Hampshire." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "Promises made, promises kept. I will never vote to touch benefits that Granite Staters have rightfully earned. In Congress, I will be willing to make tough decisions elsewhere to ensure our seniors are protected and find solutions to ensure the program remains solvent for current and future generations." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "#TaxDay is the day we reluctantly bid farewell to our hard-earned money. Unlike those who want to raise our taxes or even create new ones, I am proud to have been the first candidate in this race to sign the @taxreformer Tax Payer Protection pledge because I firmly believe that enough is enough with our overbearing tax system." (x.com)
  • "In Concord, I earned a reputation as one of the most fiscally conservative state senators in New Hampshire, fighting an income and sales tax at every turn. The overall problem is not that our government taxes too little; it is that it spends too much. I will take that same attitude to Washington, supporting a Balanced Budget Amendment, zero-based budgeting, and always looking for ways to give taxpayers back more of their hard-earned money." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "Lower Taxes, Cut Spending" (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "When I won the race against Maggie Hassan for the New Hampshire State Senate, I did so running as a fiscal conservative leading the charge against a state income tax. I promise the voters of #NH01 that I will take that same grit to Washington by fighting every attempt to take and waste more of their hard-earned money. I give the voters my word: I will oppose any and all efforts to raise taxes." (x.com)

  • "From higher fuel costs to increased grocery bills, inflation has hit New Hampshire families hard. Congress must look at ways to reduce spending, address problems in the housing market, and stop its constant aggression toward the American worker and domestic energy production. Addressing this issue will be one of my top priorities in Washington." (www.prescottforcongress.com)

  • "The Biden administration’s war on certain facets of our domestic production has fueled inflation and continues to make us more dependent on other nations, some of which are not friendly to American interests. All of the above energy policy is crucial to both short-term and long-term energy production in our country." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "Throughout my time in Concord, I was one of the strongest advocates for our Second Amendment rights, at times even against members of my own party, as the prime sponsor for Constitutional Carry in the New Hampshire State Senate. I will always fight for our constitutional right to keep and bear arms." (www.prescottforcongress.com)

  • "Without a secure border, we cannot be a secure nation. First and foremost, our open border is a national security issue. Since President Biden took office in January of 2021, more than 9.2 million individuals have been encountered by the U.S. Border Patrol attempting to cross into the United States illegally. Those are just the ones we know of – countless more went undiscovered. Illegal migrants have placed an unsustainable burden on our communities, including here in New Hampshire. When I am elected to serve you in Congress, my first priority will be to secure the border." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "America is and always will be the shining city on the hill, and people from around the world will continue to seek to come here. However, we should demand that those who immigrate to America do so legally." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "Ensuring Israel, our greatest ally in the Middle East, has the resources it needs to rightfully defend itself from the atrocities waged against it is not only the morally right decision but also one that is in the best interest of our own nation. I will always stand with the people of Israel, especially in their time of need." (www.prescottforcongress.com)
  • "I’ve called on @ChrisPappasNH to return the thousands of dollars he received from anti-Israel legislators. He has yet to respond. His vote against a fully paid-for bi-partisan bill that would send aid to Israel is now just another unacceptable action that he needs to answer for. #nhpolitics #nh01" (x.com)
