While the responsibilities of State Representatives are wide-ranging, they are mostly divided between serving as legislators at the State House and sitting on the Belknap County Delegation. In that county role, representatives make important decisions on issues such as funding for the county nursing home, sheriff’s office, county corrections, and county attorney.

Below, I’ve highlighted some of the issues I believe are most important to the people of Meredith. If an issue that matters to you isn’t addressed here, please contact me. I’d love to listen and learn more about what’s important to you.

Lower Taxes & Responsible Spending
New Hampshire’s low-tax advantage is one of the reasons families and businesses choose to live here. I will never support a state sales or income tax, and I’ll continue working to keep state and county spending responsible.

Local Control
Meredith should have a strong voice in decisions that affect our schools, housing, roads, lakes, and town character. I oppose broad mandates from Concord that ignore local conditions.

Cost of Living
Families are getting squeezed by housing, childcare, energy, and everyday expenses. State government cannot fix everything, but it can avoid making the problem worse. That means lower taxes, less red tape, and more flexibility for towns and families.

Education
Education should focus on the basics: strong academics, safe schools, parental involvement, and preparing students for real life. I support more opportunities for career and technical education, trades, and practical pathways after graduation.

Public Safety & Mental Health
New Hampshire needs a stronger mental health system, better early intervention, and support for the people who keep our communities safe. A system that works saves lives and taxpayer money.

Protecting Our Lakes and Way of Life
Meredith’s economy and identity are tied to our lakes, natural resources, and quality of life. I’ll keep supporting practical steps to address cyanobacteria, water quality, and responsible lake management.

Second Amendment
New Hampshire has a proud tradition of respecting the Second Amendment, and I will continue to defend that tradition.

Abortion
I believe New Hampshire’s current law reflects where most Granite Staters are, and I do not support major changes.

Immigration
I support legal immigration and oppose policies that encourage illegal immigration, including sanctuary policies and taxpayer-funded benefits that undermine the rule of law.
