Why are you seeking elective office?

I am running for State Senate to be your voice in Concord. I am currently finishing up my sixth year as a NH State Representative. If elected I will continue to serve to protect your freedoms and liberties, work to reduce state spending, expand education choice and protect parents’ rights and all citizens rights to make their own decisions regarding medications and vaccines without interference from the state. I will continue my crusade to make State Government accountable to you!

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

The biggest issue facing New Hampshire right now is the threat of losing our Republic to those that are trying to take away our rights and freedoms while continuing to overburden us with higher taxes. With the looming recession and rapid increase of inflation, this is putting additional strain on New Hampshire working families. I would work to give families tax relief from the State’s surplus funds, while also sponsoring legislation to protect all NH citizens freedoms and liberties. Further I will co-sponsor legislation to continue the reduction on a schedule to eliminate Interest & Dividend tax for individuals and reduction of business BET & business profit tax.

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

I am the “Grass Roots” candidate that has taken no special interest money. I am retired and have the time to be your “Full time State Senator” I have the experience that makes a difference.

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

The current office holder is vacating this seat to run for US Senate.

Describe the other issues that define your campaign platform.

School choice, low taxes, pro-business, pro-gun rights border enforcement, strong support of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Accountable Government.

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

As an Airline Pilot I flew over a million passengers, millions of miles safely and with trust.
As the president & CEO of a small business I have the management skills to help make State Government work better for you.

The best advice ever shared with me was:

That as a citizen of the United States and New Hampshire if you set your mind to a task and work hard there is absolutely nothing you can’t accomplish!

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

I am a proud United States Coast Guard Veteran & Patriot, and if elected will work hard for you with honor and dignity.
