Issue Position: Government BY the people

Issue Position

New Hampshire's government and its elected officials must, above all else, preserve and protect individual liberty. The New Hampshire Constitution affirms that our government is founded upon the people's consent and is instituted for the general good. The preservation of the rights of our people should always constrain the actions of government because our government has only as much power as the people choose to give it.
I believe wholeheartedly that government left to manage itself, without a system of checks and balances, will veer toward failure. I plan to join those among the legislature that have genuinely pledged to uphold these checks and balance and keep ethics in government. We will advocate this concept of government by working to encourage greater voter participation at all levels of government, as well as reform our campaign finance laws to guarantee full and prompt disclosure. We believe in the citizens' right to access government information to the extent such disclosure does not violate the security of our state or the privacy of individual citizens.
