New Hampshire is at a precipice. The choices we make today will define our future. Every policy I present is firmly rooted in our New Hampshire Constitution, crafted to preserve our rights and rekindle the spirit of independence and prosperity that defines our great state. Join me in this urgent fight for our future.
1. State Sovereignty and Independence
- Reclamation of Our Rights: New Hampshire’s autonomy is our birthright, as declared in Article 7 of the State Constitution. Meanwhile, federal overreach is threatening our means of self-determination. As your next governor, I will introduce legislation to ensure that the people of New Hampshire reclaim control over our taxes, energy, healthcare, education, and local governance. This is not just policy; it’s the declaration of our promise to live free, or die. Death is not the worst of evils… government overreach is.
2. Government Transparency & Accountability
- Restoring Trust in Our Institutions: Corruption and secrecy are quickly eroding the trust of our society. Article 35 mandates that the people are given an independent judiciary, but recent controversies in family courts, the Supreme Court’s secretive rulings, and the ongoing YDC abuse investigation expose major flaws that go deeply within our state institutions. As your next governor, I will establish independent oversight committees to root out corruption, ensure absolute transparency, and hold our government accountable to the people it purports to serve.
3. Election Integrity
- Defending the Core of Governance: Article 11** enshrines our right to free and fair elections, yet many questions and vulnerabilities persist. It’s time to abolish insecure voting machines and return to paper ballots—hand-counted, printed in triplicate and serialized. In this way, every vote is seen, counted, respected, and properly attributed. Trust in this process is non-negotiable. Serialized ballots will allow for simple, independent audits that the people control.
4. Innovative Tax Reduction
- Empowering Granite Staters: Guided by Article 28, which ensures that taxes are “proportional and reasonable,” and through my Tax Prosperity Initiative, I propose a 20% tax reduction—money that belongs to you, not the state. This policy greatly enhances NH citizens' ability to build a better life for themselves and their families.
5. Economic Freedom and Alternative Currencies
- Securing Your Financial Future: In a world where inflation erodes savings, it’s time to take decisive actions. Article 12 ensures that no one should be compelled to support institutions they don’t trust. By recognizing gold, silver, cryptocurrencies, and goldbacks as untaxed legal tender, we safeguard financial independence and create a more resilient state economy.
6. Enhanced Individual Liberties
- Guarding What’s Sacred: Your rights are sacred. Article 2-a guarantees the right to bear arms, 2-b tells us that an individual's right to live free from governmental intrusion in private or personal information is essential and inherent. I will fight tooth and nail to defend these liberties, from the Second Amendment to expanding school choice, ensuring every Granite Stater lives free from the oppressive hand of government overreach and unnecessary intrusion into our personal lives.
7. Affordable Housing Initiative
- Building for the Future: New Hampshire’s housing crisis threatens the very fabric of our communities and our livelihoods. Article 38 calls for the promotion of the general welfare. I will prioritize mixed-income housing projects and increase affordable housing by at least 20%, focusing on veterans and the homeless. Restrictive zoning and regulations will be temporarily suspended and grandfathered in, if necessary. Tiny home builds will be encouraged and incentivized.
8. Community and Mental Health
- Supporting Our Veterans and Homeless: The well-being of our citizens is paramount. Article 1 mandates that the government serves for the common benefit. I will expand services tailored to veterans, including mental health support, job training, and housing assistance. I will also ensure every Granite Stater struggling with homelessness has access to safe housing and the support they need. Tent cities can be established in order to alleviate the immediate crisis.
- Confronting the Opioid Crisis: The opioid crisis has devastated families, greatly contributing to homelessness and community decline. My approach includes expanding addiction treatment and mental health services with wrap around care, correction system realignment, and community-based recovery programs. This isn’t just some feel good policy—it’s a fiscal and moral imperative to protect our lives and futures. By shifting some funding from incarceration to treatment we will save tens of thousands a year from every success story.
9. Energy Independence Initiative
- Securing Our Energy Future: Energy independence is critical to New Hampshire’s long-term future. I propose investing in local renewable energy projects and streamlining regulation hurdles to encourage investment and innovation. This initiative will protect us from volatile energy markets, lower our energy bills, create jobs, and preserve our environment.

Why These Policies?
These policies are more than a clear roadmap to freedom and prosperity—they are a battle cry for our time. They attempt to fully address the direct threats to our state and call every Granite Stater to action. Rooted in the New Hampshire Constitution, driven by necessity, these initiatives will secure our future, restore our freedoms, and reignite the spirit of grit and independence that defines New Hampshire.
It's time to make New Hampshire, New Hampshire again. Your vote for me is not a choice between two evils. Your vote for me is the choice between freedom and tyranny. Together, we will pull New Hampshire back from the precipice and ensure that our state shines bright as a beacon of liberty, independence, and prosperity.
Speak with your feet. Let me be your voice.
