Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Three term state legislator and former member of the Winnacunnet Budget Committee, Seabrook Budget Committee, and Seabrook Planning Board. I've lived in New Hampshire for more than 20 years and have worked to get citizens petitions on the ballot allowing the voters to have their say in how their town and schools are run. I've introduced legislation to protect self-defense rights, to address corruption in our family courts and prosecutors' offices, and have worked to keep leftwing political advocacy out of the schools.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

There is a corrupt culture in Washington, D.C. that votes their family members $3.98 billion in federal contracts and gets rich off of insider trading that they make illegal for everyone else. The reason that ex-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and many of her lieutenants have gotten so rich while in Congress is because of that insider trading. Meanwhile, those same members of Congress have buried Americans under a $34 trillion national debt, over $100,000 for every man, woman, and child in America. This is why we need to enact Term Limits for Congress, and why we need to refocus our attention on this one issue that unites us as a country.Reduce federal spending. Under my proposed "007 Tax Cut Plan," there would be no cuts to Social Security, Medicare, disability, veterans, military family benefits, nor pensions. However, we would dramatically reduce other programs, bureaucracy, handouts to foreign governments, corporate bailouts, $116 billion in corporate welfare, $60 billion in porkbarrel spending, and billions spent on cruel animals studies. We would then repeal both the federal income and payroll tax, lift the $147,000 cap on the employer portion of payroll taxes, and return to everyone a $7,000 per person tax rebate to their Health Savings Account.

The 007 Tax Cut Plan would cut federal spending from $21,500 to about $13,000 per year per American.Bring the troops home from overseas and stop trying to be the world's policeman.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Term Limits, ending this insane War on Drugs, securing our borders

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow, and why?

Thomas Jefferson

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else you would recommend to someone who wants to understand your political philosophy?

"Free to Choose" by Milton & Rose Friedman

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity. Rep. Steven Vaillancourt told me many years ago that your integrity was all you had as a state legislator. Most folks supported him even if they didn't agree with his more libertarian views because he always told the truth.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Perseverance

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Respond to the voters and the elected officials back home. Work to get money, power, and decision making back down to the local level and back to the people.

What legacy would you like to leave?

A declining national debt.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The Berlin Wall came down, proving to the world that authoritarian socialism could not be made to work.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Wendy's for a summer job

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Bible, because I find myself returning to it for answers so often, especially about history.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Superman

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

"Oops, I Did It Again" by Britney Spears

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Getting term limits and a balanced budget amendment.

What qualities does the U.S. House of Representatives possess that makes it unique as an institution?

The Founders intended for the lower house to be the people's house and a place for ordinary people to serve and act as a check on the power of the other two branches of government.

Do you believe that it's beneficial for representatives to have previous experience in government or politics?

Yes, but in the state legislature.

What do you perceive to be the United States' greatest challenges as a nation over the next decade?

The $34 trillion national debt (about $100,000 for every man, woman, and child in America). We need to reduce spending and simplify our current, corrupt tax system to unlock economic growth.

Do you believe that two years is the right term length for representatives?

Yes, but they should be limited to three or four terms.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I am running to get Term Limits for Congress. We need new people in there with private sector experience and knowledge of cybersecurity, teaching, business, embedded software, and our changing global economy. Those who've been in Congress for a long time tend to become less amenable to new ideas and significant change to drug policy, taxes, spending, etc.

Is there a particular representative, past or present, whom you want to model yourself after?

Congressman Ron Paul.

Both sitting representatives and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

I had a constituent whose son was physically abused by his stepfather, but got of scot free because the statute of limitations had passed. I introduced a bill to the State House to extend the statute of limitations for felony assault on a child, but the Governor vetoed the bill and killed it.

Tell us your favorite joke.

"Democrats support democracy."

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Necessary in order to get legislation through.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

I believe in smaller government and lower taxes. We should reduce the overall cost of government and get Congress out of the educational funding loop.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

Yes, to investigate Epstein's Island and the Epstein client list.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

Previously endorsed by NHLA, NRA, Liberty Ballot, American Conservative Union, and NHRTL

What committees interest you?

Energy and Commerce, Veterans Affairs, Oversight & Accountability

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

If we return money, power, and decision making back down to the local level, there is a higher level of accountability there and more concern for local issues and local culture.

Campaign website

Abramson’s campaign website stated the following:

Term Limits

Term Limits for Congress enjoys the support of as many as 84% granite staters, yet it's become almost impossible to get enacted because of opposition from both Democrats and several senior Republican senators. The insiders have been blocking efforts to cut federal spending, end the insane War on Drugs, end corporate welfare/bailouts, and overhaul and replace our corrupt income tax code.

007 Tax Cut Plan

Replace the corrupt, bureaucratic federal income tax and employee portion of the payroll tax by merging FICA, FUTA, and SUTA into a much simpler 12% compensation tax on all earnings.

Your paycheck would be 30-40% larger, and you would get a tax rebate of $7,000 per year per person added to your Health Education Savings Account. There are no cuts to Social Security Medicare part A and N, Disability, Veterans benefits, nor pension benefits under the plan.

An elderly couple subsistence on $1300 a month in Social Security and Medicare benefits would see their benefits increase to $2500 a month plus Medicare. A family of four earning $60,000 a year after taxes would have an after tax pay of nearly $90,000 plus $28,000 in HESA contributions that you manage.[9]

[the profile publisher] also asked the candidate a series of optional questions. Max Abramson answered the following:

Who do you look up to? Whose example would you like to follow and why?

Benjamin Franklin, the great statesmen who warned about all of the "getting" that was already going on shortly after the American Revolution. He warned, "With all thy getting, get understanding."[9]

Is there a book, essay, film, or something else that best describes your political philosophy?

The cleverer sayings of Thomas Jefferson.[9]

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity.[9]

What qualities do you possess that would make you a successful officeholder?

I have a great deal of experience serving in local offices, volunteering for the community, and listening closely to the concerns of local citizens and our business community.[9]

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Willingness to respond to constituents and do the actual work required of us.[9]

What legacy would you like to leave?

The people of Hampton Falls and Seabrook should know that there has been someone in office who put the public's interests first 100% of the time, with no compromises for the demands of party officers nor special interest money.[9]

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at that time?

President Reagan getting shot, then hearing about the agonizing, long recovery.[9]

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

I worked over the summer at Wendy's Old Fashioned Hamburgers for three months. I loved the food and the people I worked with.[9]

What happened on your most awkward date?

That is none of your business.[9]

What is your favorite holiday? Why?

New Year's Eve. It is a chance to get a fresh start on the year and to get on top of things.[9]

What is your favorite book? Why?

Jurassic Park, by Michael Crichton The book forced me to rethink my views on dinosaurs, genetic engineering, and the ethical and scientific questions that come with it. Crichton is not heavy handed in his approach, but he simply presents both the scientific and moral obstacles that stand in the way of such a far flung project.[9]

If you could be any fictional character, who would you be?

Longinus, the infamous Roman soldier who pierced Jesus side at the crucifixion, but was then doomed in one story to walk the Earth as a soldier until the return of Christ. He would've fought in many of history's most important battles and seen humanity change and develop into liberal democracies.[9]

What is your favorite thing in your home or apartment? Why?

My car. It is fun to drive and gets surprisingly good fuel economy.[9]

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Probably something from The Cult, like Ciao Baby or Here Comes the Rain.[9]

What is something that has been a struggle in your life?

Cleaning up corruption in state government.[9]

(For non-Nebraska candidates) What do you consider the most important differences between the legislative chambers in your state?

The New Hampshire State House is a true citizen legislature. It is a place where ordinary, principled people are able to put on a suit and go up to make decisions according to what is right, rather than what is politically expedient. The State Senate, with its larger, more expensive districts, bows and sways to the slightest political winds.[9]

Do you believe that it’s beneficial for state legislators to have previous experience in government or politics?

Local office is beneficial, but some of our legislators have simply spent too much time up in Concord, becoming part of the entrenched institution.[9]

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?

The Governor should focus on running the various branches of state government, while the Legislature should focus on referendum politics. That is to say, to give voice to those voters who favor one set of policies over another.[9]

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes. I spent most of my time as a legislator working with other legislators to secure cosponsors, committee amendments, and to get the work done that is necessary before bills can actually reach the floor with any chance of passing.[9]

What process do you favor for redistricting?

Maximizing the representation and influence that ordinary voters have, keeping the size of districts small, and ensuring that there are as many swing voting districts as possible.[9]

If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Election Law, Commerce, Veterans Affairs, Municipal[9]

If you are not currently a member of your party’s leadership in the legislature, would you be interested in joining the leadership? If so, in what role?

I would be willing to serve in whatever capacity I am asked to serve in.[9]

Are you interested in running for a different political office in the future?

I am only concerned right now with the State Legislature and getting things done now.[9]

Both sitting legislators and candidates for office hear many personal stories from the residents of their district. Is there a story that you’ve heard that you found particularly touching, memorable, or impactful?

DCYF had taken two young children away from their parents on apparently false allegations by a neighbor and DCYF official. The family contacted me about this abuse and asked for help with their case. I contacted DCYF on behalf of my constituents, but the agency sent back a turn-around letter claiming that they'd investigated themselves and found nothing wrong. I have worked on many similar cases of abuse by state agencies, but this was probably the worst.[9]

Abramson's campaign website included the following positions:

On taxes: "There are only two ways to reduce what has become the nation's second highest property tax burden here in the Granite State: [C]reate a healthier business environment to attract more business taxpayers ... [and] reduce spending."[14]

On illegal drug use: "Harm Reduction methods used in both the United State [sic] and Europe have proven far more effective at reducing drug addiction and crime, yet legislators in both parties continue to build more prisons for addicts. As a state representative, Max Abramson sponsored Jessie's Law which would have enabled Ten Different Solutions for Ten Different Counties, allowing each county delegation to try everything from Recovery Support, Needle Exchange Programs, Diamorphine Clinics, or even Employment Support, each of which has shown promise in American and other western cities."[14]

On education: "Parents have the right to raise and educate their children according to their own standards. Rep. Abramson has fought consistently to support a parent's right to homeschool or choose any public, private, or charter school that they feel works best for their child."[14]
