Why are you seeking elective office?

Deeply concerned over the direction of our State and Nation.
I believe I have leadership skill sets and tools needed to provide solid leadership for the people of this wonderful state.

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

A.Safe Schools:
My hope would be to see every school in the State of New Hampshire emulate the Israeli Model for School Security.

B.Drug and Alcohol Crisis: The Fentanyl Pandemic
We need to do more than provide Narcan and clean needles – we need to help people break the addiction cycles and reset their lives

C. I would also be a strong proponent for Educational Choice.
All New Hampshire families and students should have access to the best education available, regardless of economic standing.

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

Though well-meaning , our current office holders seem to have strayed from mainstream America to foster and emulate progressive dogma.

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

I believe the current office holders have missed the mark by voting against parental notification.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

I am a strong Constitutionalist
I am Pro-Life
I will vote against all income and sales taxes.
I am committed to Election Integrity

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

I am a Veteran – A true Reagan Conservative
I am a proven Leader
I know how to live within my means
I know how to effect constructive change
I am committed to the people of this City and State

The best advice ever shared with me was:

Advice found in my favorite Book on Leadership titled:
Lincoln on Leadership by Donald T. Phillips

"I am exceedingly anxious that this Union, the Constitution, and the liberties of the people shall be perpetuated in accordance with the original idea for which that struggle was made, and I shall be most happy indeed if I shall be a humble instrument in the hands of the Almighty, and of this, his almost chosen people, for perpetuating the object of that great struggle.
--Abraham Lincoln - February 21, 1861

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