Because too many people in Ossipee feel like government simply isn’t working for them anymore. Costs keep rising, services are being squeezed, and too many decisions seem to benefit people with the most influence while regular families and seniors are left with the bill.

I’m running to bring a practical, results-first approach to Concord, with a focus on the things that affect our lives here at home: property taxes, public schools, housing, health care, and protecting the lakes and places that make Ossipee special.

My family has been part of this community for six generations, and I chose to make it my home, too.

I’ve built and run small businesses, earned an MBA, worked in real estate, and currently serve on the Ossipee Economic Development Council. Those experiences have taught me how to work with budgets, solve problems, bring people together, and find resources without automatically asking taxpayers to spend more.

I’m not interested in going to Concord to make noise. I want to get things done for the people who live here.

Quite a lot.

One of the biggest pressures on local property taxes is education funding. When the state doesn't cover enough of the cost, towns have to make up the difference through property taxes.

I want the state to pay a fairer share of public education costs. I’ll also advocate for measures that protect long-term homeowners from dramatic assessment increases and update senior property-tax relief so its income qualifications reflect what it actually costs to live today.

The goal is simple: people shouldn’t be taxed out of homes they’ve spent years building their lives in.

No.

I don’t think shifting the bill from one pocket to another solves the problem. I want Concord to take a hard look at how the state raises and spends money, how education is funded, and who has benefited from previous tax changes before asking working families to shoulder another broad-based tax.

I strongly support our public schools, and I believe parents should have choices for their children.

But whenever public money is being spent, taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability. Alternative education programs receiving state funds should be held to clear standards for how that money is used.

At the same time, we need to stop leaving local public schools to make up funding gaps through property taxes. Most of our children attend public schools, and those schools need teachers, staff, resources, and stability to give every student a real chance to succeed.

Absolutely not.

College is one path. So are the trades, military service, entrepreneurship, technical careers, and other forms of training.

I want stronger career and technical education so students can graduate with useful skills and genuine options. Success after high school should have more than one definition.

I want more of the state's resources coming back to Ossipee.

That means working to restore Cleveland Beach at Duncan Lake, repair and refill Mill Pond, and improve public access to Ossipee Lake. I’m also interested in practical ideas such as a non-resident parking fee at the Pine River boat ramp that could help prioritize access for the people who live here.

Protecting water quality matters, too, but I favor working voluntarily with property owners rather than dictating how people use their land.

I agree with both parts of that.

We have a serious housing problem. Young families, workers, and seniors are finding it increasingly difficult to afford to stay in the communities they call home.

But that doesn't mean Concord should impose the same development plan on every New Hampshire town.

I support locally driven housing solutions, especially development in places where roads and existing infrastructure can support it. The state's job should be to provide resources, incentives, and tools that help communities pursue the housing solutions that work for them.

Medicare Advantage is primarily a federal program, so a State Representative can't simply rewrite its rules.

But the state still has a role to play. We can make sure seniors have access to reliable local counseling and resources when plans disappear or networks change. And on Medicaid, where state policy matters directly, I’ll fight against unaffordable premiums and copays and unnecessary red tape that can cause eligible people to lose coverage.

I don't want anyone in Ossipee choosing between filling a prescription and paying another household bill.

I’m running to represent the people who live here.

You won’t agree with me on every issue, and I don’t expect you to. I’ll tell you where I stand, explain why, listen when you disagree, and focus on whether a proposal actually makes life better for the people of our community.

Good ideas don't become bad ideas because of the letter next to someone's name.

Start by treating taxpayers like they have a right to know what government is doing with their money, because they do.

I believe decisions should be explained clearly, spending should be easy to understand, and programs receiving public dollars should be accountable for how those dollars are used.

You shouldn't need to be a political insider to figure out what your state government is doing.

There are plenty of ways to help, including some that don't require much time at all.

You can request a lawn sign, make calls, talk with your neighbors, host a house party, or hold a sign on Election Day.

Most importantly, talk to us. Tell Morgan what’s working in Ossipee, what isn’t, and what you want your next State Representative to take to Concord.
