What are your top three priorities if elected?: My top priority is to protect the freedoms of the people of New Hampshire which are guaranteed by our Constitution. We cannot allow our elected officials to close our small business but not our big ones, close our churches but not our liquor stores, mask our children and force people to choose between an unwanted injection or losing their job and ability to provide for their family.

Secondly, Education, we need to be laser focused on academic excellence. Including reintroducing phonics and Singapore math into the classrooms.

Third is closed borders and preventing any sanctuary status in New Hampshire towns and cities. In NH, Democrats blocked these protections in SB563.

What would you do to address the housing crisis in NH? Please be specific.: Some of the solutions to our housing crisis include expanding housing supply by reducing burdensome regulations on home builders and lowering property taxes.

Do you support NH's school voucher program, known as education freedom accounts? Why or why not?: I support education freedom accounts for two reasons:

1. Parents should be able to choose the best educational option for their children. Not all children learn the same way and parents are the best advocates for what is best for their kids.

2. Competition makes ALL schools better as they will try new and old educational methods and then we can determine which is best. For example whole word learning vs. phonics.

Do you support changes to abortion law in NH? Why or why not?: I will be turning 65 this week and during my life I did not choose sides in the Pro-life vs. Pro-choice debate because I believed both sides were right!

But how can that be?

And how can there be any compromise between the sides if both sides are right?

Do you support changes to gun laws in NH? Why or why not?: I do not support changes to NH gun laws.

Do you support the NH law banning transgender girls from playing on girls school sports teams? Why or why not?: There is a reason that we test Olympic athletes for male hormones, because it gives them an unfair advantage.Title IX was enacted in 1972 so that schools that used money to promote boys sports, had to also provide funds for those same sports for girls. If those girls sports teams are comprised of athletes with male hormones then the spirit of Title IX has been extinguished.

Do you feel NH lawmakers need to address immigration and border security? If yes, what would you do?: I support closing our borders to people who are crossing illegally into the United States. We have no idea who they are.I believe that the NH Statehouse can make a huge difference on our northern border which has seen a dramatic increase. 85% of all land border encounters with individuals on the terrorist watchlist occurred on the Northern Border.We have no idea how many people have entered the US illegally since President Biden has taken office.

Fox News reports 7.2M illegals entered the US under the Biden administration, an amount greater than the population of 36 states. But let's just say it is only 5M, but that 0.01% are terrorist or criminals, that equals 50,000 potential crimes or mass terror in our country.

What else should voters know about you?: I believe many politicians in both parties do not act in the best interest of the people. I pledge to always uphold the Constitution, the document that protects our freedom.

The most powerful words ever written are "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Libery, and the pursuit of Happiness"

Lastly, I call myself the "Red Pilled Pharmacist" because I was fired for refusing to inject children with an experimental "vaccine". They knew this for 3 years but now the product package insert lists myocarditis and periocarditis, inflammation of the heart, as possible side effects especially for males 12 to 17 years old.
