Why are you seeking elective office?

I spent most of my formative years and college in Massachusetts, looking across the border at the greener grass here. I knew I wanted to live and work in New Hampshire and moved here about 30 years ago. Since then, Concord has changed from an efficient laissez-faire government to a big spending nanny state. I am asking for your vote to help me help restore common sense to New Hampshire.

The single most pressing issue facing our (board, district, etc.) is _______, and this is what I intend to do about it.

the threat to the New Hampshire Advantage. I will oppose any new taxes or tax increases.

What are the critical differences between you and the other candidates seeking this post?

I don't have a record of voting for new and more taxes.

If you are a challenger, in what way has the current board or officeholder failed the community (or district or constituency)

They have voted for new and more taxes. They have also voted against the 2nd Amendment.
