Why are you seeking elective office?

As noted in my pinned post, the incumbents embrace big government and its overreach and have been voting the wrong way on things of importance. It's time for a change.

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

Since I only get to pick one answer, it's the government's relationship with the people it's supposed to serve. I plan to support or oppose bills with a "back to basics" philosophy that's consistent with the Constitution.

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

With regard to the two incumbents seeking reelection, I would say I'm the polar opposite of them. As for my two fellow Republican candidates, I would prefer to focus on what I have in common with them as I want them elected with me.

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

Mr and Mrs Newman voted for an income tax, which is against the NH way of life. (SB1 - 2019) They also demanded NH be masked, which is NOT something for them to decide. (NH Journal 5/28/20)

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

I support medical freedom and privacy, election security reform, the 2nd Amendment, parental rights and school choice.

What accomplishments in your past would you cite as evidence you can handle this job?

While they may be obscure to the public, they would be elements of my reputation. A short list would be keeping my word, attention to detail, good work ethic, and being principled, sometimes enough to be called stubborn.

The best advice ever shared with me was:

You must choose your battles.

What else would you like voters to know about yourself and your positions?
