AMERICAN CONSERVATIVE UNION FOUNDATION’S 2017 Ratings of New Hampshire

Dear Fellow Conservative,

The American Conservative Union Foundation is proud to present our ratings of the 2017 meeting of the New Hampshire State Legislature. Like our Congressional Ratings, which date back 46 years, these ratings are meant to reflect how elected officials view the role of government in an individual’s life. We begin with our philosophy (conservatism is the political philosophy that sovereignty resides in the person) and then apply our understanding of government (its essential role is to defend life, liberty and property).

Because our ratings are designed to educate the public about how consistently their elected officials adhere to conservatism, we carefully examine the entire docket of legislation introduced in each state every year. We select the most meaningful bills and publish the results after the dust has settled. The ACU Foundation is the only organization to score over 8,000 elected officials each year, including lawmakers from all 50 states and Congress.

The 2016 election dramatically impacted the political landscape of not only Washington but state legislative chambers all across the country. Republicans now have control of both legislative chambers in 32 states, more than double the number they controlled in 2010. With these victories comes an ability to implement policies that restore individual liberty and return us to a limited form of government run by and for “We the People.”

It is our hope that these ratings will serve as a guide showing who can be relied on to fight for conservative principles and restore the role of government to what our nation’s founding fathers envisioned.

Sincerely,

Matt SchlappChairmanAmerican Conservative Union

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRMAN

SELECTING THE VOTES

ACU researched and selected a range of bills before the New Hampshire State Legislature that determine a member’s adherence to conservative principles. We selected bills that focus on Ronald Reagan’s philosophy of the “three-legged stool”: 1) fiscal and economic: taxes, budgets, regulation, spending, healthcare, and property; 2) social and cultural: 2nd amendment, religion, life, welfare, and education; and 3) government integrity: voting, individual liberty, privacy, and transparency. This wide range of issues are designed to give citizens an accurate assessment that conveys which of New Hampshire’s elected leaders best defend the principles of a free society: Life, Liberty and Property.

1. SB 11 Establishing Right to Work. This bill prohibits requiring employee to join a labor union or pay dues to a labor organization as a condition of employment. Families and the economy do better when people are employed, benefiting from the dignity of work, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation's Family Prosperity Index. ACU supports the “right to work” and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on January 19, 2017 by a vote of 12-11.

2. SB 12 Expanding Concealed Carry. This bill allows individuals that lawfully own a gun to conceal carry without a permit. ACU supports the founders’ belief in the Second Amendment and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on January 19, 2017 by a vote of 13-10.

3. SB 10 Bailing Out Dairy Farmers. This bill provides $2 million to New Hampshire dairy farmers for losses they incurred during a drought in 2016.

The Senate passed the bill on February 9, 2017 by a vote of 19-3.

4. SB 44 Banning Common Core. This bill prohibits federal Common Core educational standards from being implemented in the state. Educational attainment provides substantial economic returns for families and for states, which is illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index.

5. SB 100 Subsidizing Light Rail Transit. This bill provides $4 million for the project development of a commuter rail line that studies have found to be economically unfeasible. ACU opposes placing taxpayers on the hook for a project that is estimated to only self-generate half of its operating costs and opposed this bill. The Senate voted to kill the bill on February 23, 2017 by a vote of 12-11 (a “Yes” vote supported the ACU position).

6. SB 97 Subsidizing Land Conservation. This bill is intended to “conserve” land by providing farmers with $3 million in subsidies so that they will not use their land for anything but farming.

An overreliance on welfare diminishes recipients’ employment prospects, keeping families out of the workforce and unable to prosper, as illustrated by the ACU Foundation’s Family Prosperity Index.

11. SB 227 Increasing Employer Payroll Taxes. This bill increases employer payroll taxes in order to fund workforce development and training programs.

12. SB 149 Legalizing the Sale of Health Insurance Across State Lines. This bill allows individuals to purchase healthcare plans from out-of-state insurance companies. ACU supports a free market in healthcare and supported this bill. The Senate passed the bill on March 16, 2017 by a vote of 14-9.

Some of the reforms under the bill include reducing income eligibility caps to federal levels, ensuring work requirements are met for certain applicants, and requiring that child support payments are made.

18. SB 129 Expanding Renewable Energy Mandates. This bill dramatically increases electricity costs for residents and businesses by expanding the state’s mandates for “renewable energy” and providing subsidies to the bio-fuel industry.

The House voted to kill the bill on June 1, 2017 by a vote of 90-217 (a “Yes” vote supported the ACU position).

19. HB 86 Preventing the Development of Private Property. This bill makes it harder for individuals to develop their land by making it more difficult to receive “variances”, or special exemption, to zoning laws.
