Democrats nationally and regionally have consistently voted for more government control, leaving less control by individuals over their own lives. Here in NH, Democrats have a well-documented history of repeatedly and consistently voting:
• Against parents’ control of their own children
• For policies that raise the cost of electricity and power in general
• For higher taxes
• For taxpayer-funded abortions up to and even after birth
• Against the second amendment right to have firearms to defend one’s family
• Against low and middle-income families choosing the education option for their children
• Against protections to ensure only NH residents vote in NH
