Taking away primary caregivers only increases poverty and crime cycles.

Gabriele LiebergSupportNewfields, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

I strongly support this bill! I believe people should be held accountable for their actions but should be allowed to have alternatives to incarceration for a non-violent crime, especially when the care of minors is involved.

Kerri ChoateSupportRollinsford, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

I urge you to support this bill and establish a commission to study alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent offenders who are primary caregivers. This is a really important bill, and caretakers play an integral role in families and in our community.

Tiffany GladuOpposeGoffstown, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

I oppose this bill because it reduces transparency, access, or fairness in public processes and does not meaningfully improve outcomes for New Hampshire residents.

Nancy JerauldSupportLitchfield, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

Discovering an alternative to incarceration for non-violent offenders makes sense, especially for those who are primary caregivers. A commission to study this issue is a good idea.

Guns do not belong in schools!

Maureen Redmond-ScuraSupportConcord, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

Guns are more likely to increase the violence, injury and death in schools.

Guns do not belong in schools.

Joanne DavisSupportConcord, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

Giving the Department of Education the authority to intervene in a school or school district during a financial emergency as well as the authority to require the school district to renegotiate its employment contracts and reallocate its resources would exclude parents and communities from decision making.

Gregory DavisSupportSalem, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

It supports the family or primary care unit, rather than breaking it apart.

Michelle MogeSupportDerry, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

I think this is a wonderful idea. I strongly support this bill.

Diana McNabbSupportPortsmouth, NHfor MyselfJan 28, 2026

I support the establishment of a commission to study alternatives to incarceration for nonviolent offenders who are primary caregivers.

All this bill does is ensure that workers are not paid fairly for their time and will lead to exploitation of workers.
