| “ |
Here in New Hampshire, we are faced with a opioid crisis that has continued to escalate in severity, affecting every Granite Stater. It is imperative that we do everything we can to combat and ultimately end this crisis. My pledge is to work to secure more pathways to treatment and recovery and to make sure that our first responders have the resources they need to properly address the crisis.
Even with low unemployment numbers, New Hampshire must create more jobs that provide hard-working middle class families the financial security they deserve. To accomplish this I will work with business leaders to address workforce needs, continue the development of our tech industry, and work to address unnecessary and burdensome regulations and red tape that hurts New Hampshire businesses.
Sound infrastructure is essential for growing our state economy. We need a system that promotes economic growth, not one that inhibits it. I will fight in the State Senate to fix our roads and bridges in critical condition and look to advance passenger rail to New Hampshire. Also l’ll push for the necessary investment in modernizing our technology and energy infrastructure.
As a teacher of over 25 years, I hold a core belief that we must provide our students with a top-rate education and create pathways that will allow them to succeed. It is critical that our public schools are preparing our students for the 21st century workplace and that our university system is not only accessible but also affordable. We must ensure students don’t graduate from college only to find themselves dealing with crippling debt.[3] |

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
