Education Funding and Municipal Aid
October 8, 2019
Throughout the budget process House and Senate Democrats held firm on our commitment for increased municipal aid and education funding. The result? Milford received $2,519,185.00 and the property tax rate dropped from $29.23 to $25.97
September 3, 2019
The legislature and Governor are at an impasse on the budget. We’re supporting education funding and property tax relief while the Governor wants another round of business tax cuts which are already the lowest in New England.

January 16, 2019 – Calling to End Big Money in Politics
Representative Kat McGhee and I, co-sponsors of HCR 5, testified before the State-Federal Relations and Veterans Affairs Committee on our proposed resolution. If adopted, New Hampshire would be counted among a growing number of states calling for a Constitutional Amendment to overturn the Citizens United v. F.E.C. ruling. Currently, New Hampshire is the only New England state that has adopted such a resolution. It’s time to get big money out of politics. 
January 15, 2019 – Serving Children and Families in Need
The House Children and Family Law Committee heard testimony from Joseph Ribsam, Director of DCYF. WMUR-Ch.9 was on hand to report on his presentation. Mr. Ribsam informed the committee of the need to hire more front-line workers to handle the growing number of cases.
The Committee also heard testimony on HB111, establishing a committee to study the effects the opioid crisis and domestic violence has on New Hampshire’s children.
