LGBTQ+ citizens continue to be targeted by the radical right in our state and I will use every tool at my disposal to defend their human rights.

Having substance use disorder should not be a crime. We need harm reduction, not criminalization. Learn more
Having substance use disorder should not be a crime. We need harm reduction, not criminalization. Learn more
Marijuana should be legalized and taxed. We need to be careful how the new industry is structured, so that large growers and well-capitalized out-of-state interests don't dominate the market. Learn more
While digital learning has its place, we cannot replace schools with computers and we cannot replace teachers with software. Learn more
We must defend school curricula against continued bad-faith attacks the far right. It is important that children learn about all aspects of American history - we can't just highlight the good parts and skip over the bad parts. Learn more
I don’t believe the answer to this problem is more tax cuts for businesses. Instead, we should treat early education for babies and young children as public service, in the same way we do K-12 education.

Recently, a gun range in Keene has been taking advantage of charitable exemptions meant for educational institutions. A gun range is not a school, and teaching people how to build AR-15s is not a charitable activity. As a Senator, I will sponsor legislation to bar gun ranges from access to this tax exemption.

We need to improve housing stock (fix up run-down housing units) and expand housing stock (build new housing.) Being in New England, part of our problem is that our housing stock is very old and energy inefficient, so its important to recognize that the cost of housing also includes the cost of heating. Learn more

New Hampshire’s state minimum wage of $7.25 is a national embarrassment and I support raising it to at least $15/hr. Learn more
