Priority Issues:
Let's fight to bring passenger rail to New Hampshire to bring our state up to the transportation standards of other states and countries, reduce highway congestion and air pollution, increase property values, reduce overall transportation costs to Boston and to the Manchester-Boston regional airport.
Let's push for a living minimum wage to boost our economy with additional purchasing power and lift some of our neighbors out of poverty.
We must do all can to support elementary and secondary education to prepare our kids for the world of today, including expanding civics and social science requirements, strengthening art and physical education opportunities. And we must make our state institutions of higher learning more affordable and accessible for both professional and technical learning and skills. In no instance should public funds be used for any private educational enterprise or institutions.
