$5M towards a computer science initiative in schools

I believe that computer science virtually guarantees that anyone with those skills won't end up in poverty. Who better to learn those skills than children. It is so much easier for kids to learn computers and computer coding than adults. I am proposing New Hampshire's greatest computer science opportunity in history. $5M towards a computer science initiative that creates a statewide credentialling system and pays incentives to hundreds of new computer science teachers to become certified.

Double infrastructure grants to towns for roads and bridges

Any surplus will be placed in a newly created Infrastructure Revitalization Fund. We have the opportunity to support their critical infrastructure needs. For years we have heard how the state cannot control local property taxes, but what we can do is use infrastructure grants to give our towns more financial flexibility and target key areas of need to our communities.

Specifically, we're going to double grants to towns for roads and bridges--a chronic deferred maintenance issue at the local level.

Opposed commuter rail from Boston to central New Hampshire

After Sununu's candidacy announcement, New Hampshire Democrats quickly issued a statement: "He's stood in the way of numerous renewable energy projects that would cut energy costs and create jobs and has done everything he can to stop commuter rail from Boston to central New Hampshire and the jobs that will come with it," said the New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman.
