Voters deserve to know where I stand, but the role is to represent the district, not myself or any special interests.

Tim is running because he believes Deering and Francestown are ready to move past polarizing politics that weaken our communities and economy. He'll focus on what matters most to our small towns, bringing a career of practical municipal finance experience, a strong work ethic, and a commitment to honest conversations with residents.

Since filing in early June, Tim has met voters across the district, including Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike, who want less division and more attention to local issues. He's committed to bringing a more respectful, solutions-focused approach to Concord.

Tim believes the job is to serve and fairly represent the district, not a political party. He will be a reliable resource for both towns by showing up, staying engaged, and maintaining clear, direct communication with Concord. 

New Hampshire’s heavy reliance on property taxes does not account fairly for a person’s ability to pay. It places particular pressure on working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and communities with limited tax bases. Tim believes this approach is an unfair trade off without a secure future. He supports an honest and informed reassessment, including how incremental reductions in state revenue shift the cost of essential services onto towns and local taxpayers. 

Protecting our local character and quality of life starts with local control. Decisions about zoning, budgets, and how our towns grow should be made close to home, with the best interests of our small, rural communities in mind. Our rural character and natural environment are the foundation of both our way of life and our economy, and protecting one means protecting the other. 

Tim believes public education is our most essential public service, and one of the best investments we can make in our economy and our democracy. The states seeing the strongest results today share a pattern: they're investing in reading instruction, tutoring, attendance, and teacher training and retention. Our public education system is the result of over a century of sustained investment by earlier generations. We should not dismantle it. In today's fast-changing economy, that investment matters more than ever, not less. 

Tim supports local control rather than a state mandate. School choice, as we know it today, started over 30 years ago aimed at urban districts with large populations. For small rural schools like ours, even modest enrollment swings can be economically damaging.  As such it’s better managed closer to home.   

Tim rejects framing the success of individual schools as a competition for survival. Every community deserves a strong local school. If elected, he'll push back on state-mandated choice policies that threaten our small schools and add to the property tax burden.

Tim believes EFAs are a poor policy from start to finish. They mimic entitlements, with no clear end-game and they transfer public funds without sufficient oversight. This adds pressure to school funding and property taxes.   If elected, he'll work to repeal or significantly reform the program. 

Tim believes unlimited corporate and dark money in politics has drowned out the voices of Deering and Francestown voters. New Hampshire became the 20th state to call for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United when it passed its resolution in 2019, and today more than 20 states nationwide have taken similar action. Tim supports building on that momentum.

Climate change is both an economic risk and opportunity, and Tim believes we need to prepare for both. Deering and Francestown have long been proactive stewards of our natural resources, building real community resilience for our region. As storms and flooding drive up insurance costs, reducing risk upfront is the best way to bring them under control. 

With renewables such as solar and wind reported to be over 85% of new power capacity added to the grid worldwide last year, Tim believes New Hampshire shouldn't be left behind the growing low-carbon economy, and he'll support policies that help the state compete while backing our communities' resilience efforts. 

Tim believes government has no place in deeply personal decisions about women's reproductive health care. Those choices belong to individuals, in consultation with their doctor and family, not to a small group of politicians in Concord. 

With capital rushing in at a dizzying pace, the risk of overdevelopment is real. Local residents should not be left carrying the financial or environmental risks of projects that primarily benefit large, well-funded out-of-state companies. 

Tim believes data-center projects should comply with local zoning and planning rules, meet infrastructure-support requirements, and have clear approval from the local community. 

Tim is a gun owner and believes the state's constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms in defense of oneself, one's family, and one's property. He supports background checks and locally managed red flag laws, which he believes are prudent and don't interfere with that constitutional right.
