1. Healthcare Access for All

Healthcare is not a privilege; it is a fundamental human right. Every single resident in New Hampshire deserves access to high-quality, comprehensive medical care without the fear of financial ruin. When families have to choose between putting food on the table or filling a lifesaving prescription, our system is failing them. NH needs a healthcare framework that prioritizes people over corporate profits.

Priorities:

• Expanding Care Coverage: Ensuring every resident has access to affordable, comprehensive health coverage, regardless of employment status or income.
• Lowering Prescription Costs: Fighting for transparency in pharmaceutical pricing and capping the out-of-pocket costs for essential medications.
• Strengthening Rural & Local Healthcare: Protecting community hospitals and local clinics so that high-quality care, emergency services, and specialists are accessible right in our neighborhoods.
• Mental & Behavioral Health: Integrating mental health resources into standard insurance coverage, ensuring emotional problems are supported with the same urgency as physical ailments.

2. Fair and Sustainable Property Taxes

Skyrocketing property taxes are squeezing working families, young couples looking for their first homes, and seniors who are being priced out of the communities they spent their lifetimes building. Our current down-shifting of state responsibilities onto municipal budgets is unsustainable.

We need structural tax reform that protects local homeowners and ensures that our state budget lifts communities up rather than balancing the scales on the backs of local property owners.

Priorities:

• Expanding Targeted Exemptions: Increasing property tax relief and expanding robust exemptions for low-and-fixed-income seniors, veterans, and disabled residents.
• Restoring State Revenue Sharing: Fighting to restore the state's traditional commitment to funding local infrastructure and municipal services, reducing the direct burden on your town's tax rate.
• Preventing State Down-Shifting: Opposing policies that pass state-level costs down to local municipalities, forcing sudden and unexpected increases in local property tax bills.

3. Unwavering Support for Public Education

Strong vibrant public schools are the cornerstone of our community and our economy. Our local public schools do far more than teach academics—they prepare the next generation of workers and leaders, provide equitable opportunities for every single child, and serve as hubs of local pride. We must firmly stand against any effort to defund our public classrooms or siphon away essential taxpayer dollars with vouchers.

Priorities:

• Fully Funding Our Classrooms: Ensuring our public schools have the robust resources, modern tools, and textbook updates they need to provide a world-class education.
• Vocational & Practical Learning: Expanding technical and hands-on vocational tracks in our high schools so that students entering the workforce are skilled, competitive, and ready to succeed.
• Supporting Our Educators: Championing competitive compensation, professional respect, and supportive working environments to attract and retain high-quality teachers.
• Protecting the Public Budget: Defending public education tax revenue against voucher expansion programs that drain vital resources from our local neighborhood schools.
