Our state leaders continue to shift costs onto local communities through higher property taxes while prioritizing tax benefits that do not reach every family equally. We don’t necessarily need to raise new taxes — we need to spend existing dollars more effectively and in ways that benefit all Granite Staters, not just those with the greatest means.

In Senate District 22, Atkinson maintains the lowest property tax rate among Salem, Pelham, Plaistow, and Atkinson — and Chris serves on the Atkinson Budget Committee, bringing firsthand experience balancing affordability with community investment. There are responsible ways to support strong schools, strong services, and strong local communities without making the cost of living unaffordable for working families.

New Hampshire ranks last in the nation in the share of public education funding provided by state government, leaving local property taxpayers to carry the burden of ensuring our children receive a quality education. If Concord stepped up and funded public education more responsibly, we could then put stronger guardrails in place to promote accountability, predictability, and affordability at the local level. With a more balanced funding model, tools like reasonable tax caps and stronger budget oversight become more realistic. School budgets aren’t rising in a vacuum — local communities are being asked to make up for a state funding system that isn’t doing its share.

Accountability starts with showing up, listening, and making decisions people can actually understand. Chris is running to bring a more transparent, results-driven approach to Concord.   Budgets are built responsibly, taxpayer dollars are treated with respect, and elected officials are held to the same standards as the people they represent. New Hampshire works best when government focuses on affordability, accountability, and practical solutions that strengthen our communities.

No Income Tax. Not now. Not ever.

New Hampshire’s identity has always been built on fiscal responsibility, local control, and letting people keep more of what they earn. While we should continue exploring creative ways to grow revenue and strengthen our economy without increasing the tax burden on residents, an income tax is a nonstarter for Chris.

Once an income tax is created, rates rarely stay where they start. What begins as a small percentage today can gradually grow over time as spending pressures increase. New Hampshire has become one of the most desirable places to live because of policies that promote opportunity, affordability, and independence — and preserving our no-income-tax tradition is part of protecting that advantage for future generations.

As someone living with Type 1 diabetes, Chris understands firsthand that healthcare isn’t just a policy issue, it’s a daily reality. Too many families are paying more while receiving less, facing rising costs for prescriptions, appointments, and basic care that should be accessible and predictable. Healthcare should work for patients, not paperwork, and we need practical solutions that increase transparency, improve access, and make it easier for people to afford the care they need without sacrificing quality.

Mental health matters because it impacts every part of our communities: Our schools, families, workplaces, and long-term economic health. Through Chris’s work in business and partnerships supporting mental health advocacy, he has seen that people thrive when support is available early and access is practical and affordable. At the state level, investing in mental health isn’t just the right thing to do, it strengthens communities, reduces long-term costs, and helps people reach their full potential.
