Not only is this New Hampshire's state motto, but it is my guiding principle when making decisions in Concord. This means that I am pro-freedom and pro-liberty. I am a proud supporter of our Second Amendment rights, our right to freedom of speech, and our freedom of expression. Both sides of the aisle want to curtail your rights somehow, but know that I will always put partisan politics aside and do what I can to expand liberty and freedom for our state. 

Your zip code should not determine your educational outcome. Too often, smart kids are stuck in bad schools. I am a champion for educational freedom, and I will always prioritize students and parents over everything else. In our education system, every other group has lobbyists and advocates for more funding and more control over how your child is educated. Too often, I find that parents and students do not have a voice in Concord. I will fight for our students and ensure that your interests are always put first.

We currently have the most extensive government apparatus in our state's history. Government should not be the solution to every problem we face in society; it should be seen as the last resort. When government grows, all other institutions that support society are diminished, such as churches, charities, businesses, mutual aid organizations, and the family. I am a proud believer in limited government, and I will push to ensure that our state government is focused on its core responsibilities and not encroaching into aspects of your life where it has no rightful business. Furthermore, I am wary of the current government trend to give more rulemaking authority to unelected bureaucrats who do not put people and small businesses first. It is time we reined in government instead of looking for ways to expand it.
