I'm so sick of this gross, pandering, fear-mongering culture war legislation. Isn't this New Hampshire? Isn't our whole deal to leave people the fuck alone? If you're such a shitty parent that you believe your child simply knowing an LGBTQ person exists will make them become LGBTQ, you need to realize that the blame for that is on you, not a random teacher. Parents have always had access to the curriculum in NH. They've always had the ability to opt their kid out of things. And the need for kids to be able to talk to a trusted teacher if they have an unsafe home life has always been vital. Stop shoving this faux outrage about problems that don't exist and absurd religious indoctrination down the throats of NH taxpayers, parents, and students, and just leave people alone.

He did a good job during covid, but he...

Won't legalize marijuana

Supports my tax money being taken from improving public education for all kids and being used instead to send children to religious indoctrination facilities

Doesn't support women's healthcare or reproductive choice

Pandered to the insane MAGA extremists

However, he...

Has supported some positive environmental policies

Does support requiring reporting of police misconduct

Has handled state funds pretty well in general

Based on the first 4 points, I likely won't vote for him again unless his opponent is extra shitty or he makes some real changes to fix these problems.
