Belnap County
District 5 --->> ALTON | BARNSTEAD | BELMONT | GILFORD
Issues
- Education ...
The federal government has increased the interest rates on student
loans & generally made it more difficult for families to send kids
to college. They passed No Child Left Behind but didn't properly fund
it. We need to fill these gaps on a state level. Our primary &
secondary schools need equalized funding without sacrificing local
control.
- Environment ...
With the federal government more interested in protecting corporate
profits than the environment, it becomes very important that New
Hampshire take the lead. My town of Barnstead recently passed
ordinances protecting our ground water. This happened with Democrats
& Republicans working together.
- Health Care ...
There are millions of Americans working full time without health care.
Will New Hampshire wait for a national solution, or will we "take care
of our own"?
- Civil Liberties ....
The federal government seems intent on chipping away at our rights and
privacy but New Hampshire has always been libertarian (small "L") and
in the forefront. We need to guard our freedoms and privacy and cannot
afford to watch silently as they erode.
- Family Values...
While on a national level there is much talk about family values, it
seems that it all focuses on divisive "wedge" issues. I believe there
are many family values issues that we can all agree on and implement
right here in New Hampshire. As co-owner of ForFamily.net,
TrueVine.net, and ChristianBroadband.com I've been helping families
with issues of online pornography & Internet safety for the last 6
years.
- Minimum Wage ....
While we are not seeing an increase in the federal minimum wage we can
at least fight for an increase here in New Hampshire.
- Small Business ...
The federal government these days seems to be only interested in
helping huge corporations while small businesses account for the
majority of new jobs. As a small business owner I've seen the squeeze
& believe New Hampshire can continue to be a good place to start
and operate a business.
