Energy & Infrastructure

 New Hampshire families and businesses are paying some of the highest electricity rates in the country, and it is time for real action, not more talk. My goal is simple lower costs, ensure reliable power, and make New Hampshire a leader in the future of energy.

We are now seeing real momentum. The Governor is pushing this effort forward, and with the help of my colleagues in the State House, we have a serious, actionable plan in the works to finally address our energy challenges head on.

I have already been doing the groundwork. I traveled to Washington, D.C. to meet directly with the U.S. Department of Energy to push for real steps that will move energy projects forward here in New Hampshire. We cannot afford to sit back while costs continue to rise on hardworking families.

At the same time, I am building strong partnerships with private industry leaders. I have met with Google and NextEra Energy, the company that owns Seabrook Station, to discuss expanding nuclear energy right here in our state. Real progress happens when government and the private sector work together to drive innovation, increase competition, and lower costs.

At the center of this plan is investing in advanced nuclear technology, especially Small Modular Reactors. These reactors are smaller, safer, and more flexible than traditional plants, and they can be deployed where they are needed most. I am proposing a micro nuclear facility near Seabrook and another in the North Country. These projects will deliver reliable, clean energy, create good paying jobs, and position New Hampshire to export power across the region.

When I get to Congress, I will also take on the federal barriers that are driving up costs. One of my top priorities will be pushing for a waiver to the Jones Act, which restricts how energy resources are transported between U.S. ports. Fixing this will help bring more affordable energy into New Hampshire and provide real relief to families and businesses.

This is about results. With the Governor engaged, a plan moving forward in the State House, and strong partnerships in place, we are no longer just talking about solutions we are building them. 

New Hampshire deserves leadership that takes action and gets things done.

I’ve been to New Hampshire’s northern border, and what I saw should concern everyone. 

Nearly 58 miles of rugged, heavily wooded terrain, much of it without cell service, and at times just one officer responsible for patrolling it all. That means limited communication, delayed response, and real gaps in security. Programs like the Northern Border Alliance help, but the reality is we are still under-resourced.

At the same time, dangerous drugs like fentanyl, methamphetamine, and cocaine continue to flow into our state from distribution hubs in Lowell and Lawrence, Massachusetts. Law enforcement is making arrests and seizures, but the volume hasn’t slowed. This is driving overdoses, hurting families, and putting real pressure on our communities.

I’ve already taken action. I am the only candidate in this race who voted to ban sanctuary cities in New Hampshire because I believe in enforcing the law and backing our officers.

In Congress, I will fight for more resources, better communication infrastructure, and stronger coordination to secure both our northern border and stop the flow of drugs from the south. New Hampshire deserves better, and I’m going to make sure we get it.

Our healthcare system is built to treat disease after it happens, not to stop it before it starts. That approach is failing families, driving up costs, and leaving millions of Americans managing conditions that could have been prevented. If we are serious about changing healthcare, we have to start by modernizing the system that controls how innovation reaches patients, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

Right now, the FDA does not recognize aging as a condition that can be treated. That means researchers are forced to chase individual diseases like cancer, heart disease, or Alzheimer’s one at a time, instead of targeting the root cause that drives them all. It slows innovation, limits investment, and keeps life-changing therapies out of reach for the people who need them most.

I believe it is time to fundamentally change the way we look at healthcare. We should be focused on prevention, not just treatment. By allowing clinical trials to target aging itself and creating clear FDA pathways for longevity and regenerative therapies, we can unlock a new era of medicine that helps people stay healthier longer, not just live longer while sick.

Modernizing the FDA will also strengthen America’s leadership in biotechnology and Healthcare. Other countries are already investing heavily in this space, and we cannot afford to fall behind. By creating a regulatory environment that supports innovation while maintaining strong safety standards, we can attract investment, create jobs, and ensure that the next generation of medical breakthroughs happens here in the United States and not China.

This is about more than just better health. It is about affordability. Today, healthcare spending is one of the largest burdens on our economy, with the majority tied to chronic, age-related diseases. If we address the root causes earlier, we can reduce hospitalizations, cut long-term care costs, and ease the financial strain on families and taxpayers.

This is how we change healthcare. We stop reacting and start preventing. We remove outdated barriers and embrace innovation. And we build a system that delivers better outcomes, lower costs, and a healthier future for every American.

Washington has a spending problem, and it is hitting families right here in New Hampshire. 

Today, our national debt has surged past $30 trillion, and the federal government continues to run annual deficits in the trillions. We are spending far more than we bring in, and that imbalance is fueling inflation, driving up interest rates, and making everyday life more expensive for hardworking Americans.

I believe we cannot keep kicking the can down the road. If we stay on this path, interest payments alone will soon rival what we spend on national defense, crowding out priorities and limiting our ability to invest in the future. That is not sustainable, and it is not fair to the next generation.

That is why I will fight for real structural reform. I support implementing zero-based budgeting, where every federal program must justify its existence instead of automatically receiving increases year after year. 

I will also push for a Balanced Budget Amendment to force Washington to live within its means, just like families and small businesses do every day.

At the same time, fiscal responsibility does not mean turning our backs on the commitments we have made. I am committed to protecting programs like Social Security Administration, which millions of Americans rely on after a lifetime of work. These are promises that must be honored, and we can protect them by cutting waste, eliminating duplication, and reforming how government spends, not by putting seniors at risk.

Responsible budgeting is about priorities. It is about cutting what does not work, strengthening what does, and making sure every taxpayer dollar is used wisely. By reducing wasteful spending, returning more control to the states, and restoring discipline in Washington, we can lower inflation, stabilize our economy, and put our country back on a sustainable path.

We owe it to the next generation to get this right.
