Our Campaign’s Top Priorities

This State Senate seat is not just a winnable one--Stu could have the deciding vote on a number of key New Hampshire issues. Put him in that seat to restore civility and rational thinking in politics. It will take all of us to reject extremism and bring about a freer, fairer, more prosperous, and well-educated state.

Defending the Constitution

As a retired Navy Commander, Stu is a sworn defender of the US Constitution. He spent 20 years doing just that. Now more than ever, our foundational principles are under siege, including our very identity as a democracy. This is Stu's most urgent mission: keeping us free and civil, and reminding us that we are all American. Whatever our political stripes, we have an obligation to one another.

Making New Hampshire More Affordable

Stu understands that we need to make life more affordable for Granite Staters, and one way to do that is by keeping taxes low for those who can least afford them. He will never support a sales or income tax.

Defending Reproductive Freedoms

Stu believes that a woman's choice to terminate a pregnancy is a deeply personal medical decision that the government should stay out of. As a State Senator, Stu will support legal protections for abortion, block extreme abortion bans, and defend access to contraceptives and IVF.

Helping Fellow Veterans

We have been at war for decades and many of our vets have paid a steep, silent price for it. Stu will work hard to improve veteran access to mental health resources, especially seasoned practitioners that understand military life. He will press insurers to cover more, and work to protect vets from professional stigmatization.

Lowering Property Taxes

At a time when low- and middle- income families face rising costs, increasing property taxes makes it even harder. Stu will fight hard to lower your property taxes and turn back the policies that unfairly "downshifted" the tax burden onto those of us least able to pay it.

Supporting Public Education

Stu believes that for future generations to succeed, we must equip all children with the tools and opportunities they need, regardless of zip code. Stu will fight to make public school funding fairer, especially for our district, and he will push to bring accountability, transparency, and fiscal responsibility to the costly school voucher program.

Upholding the Second Amendment

Stu is a gun owner and knows the importance of education, demystification, and safety. He will consider limited regulation (as 2A calls for), but not measures affecting the law-abiding more than criminals. Gun control has often been used to oppress political and racial minorities. Stu will defend your right to defend yourself.

Protecting New Hampshire's Environment

Stu understands that New Hampshire's natural beauty is essential to both our identity and our economy. He will work to preserve our logging industry for future generations. He will fight to keep our lakes clean, our air pure, and our wildlife thriving. We can do this without crushing working men and women, like truckers, farmers, and plow drivers.
