Campaign website

Laplante ’s campaign website stated the following:

Here are the topics that interest me most that I will work hard to impact if I am elected.

America/NH 1st

Stop being so reliant on foreign countries, focus more on brands made in America, and bring and keep more business in NH.

Opiod/Drug Pandemic

Nothing compares to the amount of lives lost and families destroyed because of this. Step one should be to cut the head off the snake - secure our border from drugs and illegal immigrants. Then we can focus on recovery.

Parental/Children educational rights:

Nothing is more important than your child's well-being, emotional and physical. We MUST have more control over their well-being in classrooms.

Back the Blue

Law enforcement shouldn't be vilified for doing their jobs when most of them are doing it admirably. Unwanted outcomes happen when suspects resist. They are trying to keep us safe, so let's hear from them on how to help them keep us safe.

Secure the Border

it's the LAW!! Just because you substitute the word undocumented for Illegal doesn't give you the right to break the law. Aiding and abetting is also against the law. Enforcing the law also helps stop drugs, human trafficking, and save millions we can use on programs helping unfortunate citizens.

Government Overreach/Spending

More government control is never the answer to anything, that's why we're in the mess we're in now. We need to eliminate wasteful spending. You don't get to raise your credit card limit when you can't pay for the one you maxed out.

Veterans Reform

As a recipient of VA care, I can say that there. are plenty of good things, but also things that need to be addressed. I believe these issues should be overseen by veterans who have first hand experience with these issues.

Constitution

Needs to be enforced, not rewritten, especially the 1st and 2nd ammendment. Please remember that we the people have the right to make choices and stand up for what we believe in.

Strong Military

In these crazy times, our safety should be a major priority. For every dollar we send to foreign countries, we should spend at least 2 on our military and border control. We must make sure our Military has the best resources to keep them and us safe.[3]
