Economist & Trump Conservative

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?

Limit Taxes & SpendingStop illegal immigration & Sanctuary citiesSchool Choice for all NH Families

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Low Taxes & Control Spending, Business Friendly Regulations, Protect 2nd Amendment Rights, Education Choice, Election Integrity

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

Economist Milton Friedman, he was quite an intellectual warrior for free markets. Always admired him and his works. As an economist, I hope to finish a textbook I'm completing - in his honor!

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

"Who Built That," a book by Michelle Malkin and "From Mutual Aid to the Welfare State," a book by David Beito are good places to start.

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

New Hampshire officials should follow the U.S. and New Hampshire Constitutions, and act to protect our individual freedoms, and should only fund the provision of essential public services (e.g. law enforcement and courts, roads/transportation, education, protection of the NH environment). I am a Trump Conservative who believes we should only pass laws and budgets which put American citizens "first," and permit Granite Staters to keep the money THEY earned.

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

As an economist, I love policy debates and researching major social issues - the economy, poverty, crime, education. Facts and historical data can help disagreeing people to unite, and agree on the best direction to take to solve problems.

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

Officials should listen to local voters and learn their priorities, and provide assistance when they have questions or problems navigating our NH state agencies.

What legacy would you like to leave?

I have enjoyed educating over 20,000 college students as an economics professor. Over 40 years, that has been my greatest accomplishment and very rewarding.

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

Living in Lexington Mass as a 7 YO - enjoyed the Minute Man Patriots Day parade & my tri-cornered Hat!

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

Burger King! Worked there for a summer.

What is your favorite book? Why?

The Little Ice Age, by Brian Fagan. A history book that demonstrates Earth's "climate" has been changing constantly - for thousands of years. Plus, it's a great read!

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

Probably Peter Pan, because I've always wanted to fly around - like a bird!

Hold On, I'm Comin'!

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

Several relatives have faced serious health challenges, including my late husband. My philosophy in staying positive has always been to recognize that "Every family has some burden!" and ours is no different, so manage things with love and grace.

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

They should work collegially, and assess all budget decisions based on their impact on the household finances of New Hampshire Taxpayers.

What do you perceive to be your state's greatest challenges over the next decade?

Affordable housing and energy costs, and the overall cost of living are major concerns to be addressed in 2025. Medical care and insurance costs are another challenge that need immediate attention. We have a nurses shortage in NH which must be remedied. Rising property taxes (despite declining school enrollments) are also a serious concern and the House should address this burden and provide relief.

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

Experience as a town Select board or School board member is very helpful, along with private-sector business experience.

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

Open dialogue and listening is important. Finding points of agreement helps a diverse group produce successfully-amended bills and budgets.

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

State Senator Bill Gannon, State Senator Regina Birdsell, State Rep Ken Weyler, State Rep Mark Pearson, State Rep Lilli Walsh and State Rep Glenn Cordelli have impressed me.

Are you interested in running for a different political office (for example, the U.S. Congress or governor) in the future?

No

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?

While on School board, I heard a heart-wrenching story from a parent about the loss of a child due to an unintended drug overdose. New Hampshire needs to keep its Northern border CLOSED to illegal drug trafficking, human trafficking and other foreign threats, and more needs to be done to inform young people of the dangers of fentanyl and other street drugs.

Tell us your favorite joke.

I'm more into memes, lately!

Should the legislature oversee or grant the use of emergency powers?

N.H. Constitution enumerates our legislative powers and should be followed.

What is the first bill you would introduce if elected?

Universal School Choice (Education Freedom Accounts)

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

What committees interest you?

House Education Committee

What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability?

Respect for the "Right To Know" is important to maintain public support for state projects and programs. If a constituent wants information on a particular expenditure or funding source, State Reps should always be responsive and provide detailed information.

Would a state ballot initiative process be good or bad for your state?

Once stronger election integrity reforms are passed, I'd reassess it.
