Steve Marchand in Gubernatorial campaign websites
On Civil Rights:
Lead movement towards LGBTQ equality
After watching Chris Sununu prioritize right-wing positions on privatizing public education, weakening unions, discouraging voter turnout, failing to lead on LGBTQ equality, and pushing tax cuts for a small
number of large companies at the expense of everybody else, it's more clear to me than ever that New Hampshire deserves a Governor who can make New Hampshire the best state in America to start a family and start a business.

On Education:
Quality public education from pre-K to H.S. to college
Steve's passion for the importance of quality public education, to the importance of entrepreneurism, come from his upbringing.Too many people think we have to choose: Either we help working people and their families, or we focus on growing
our economy. But my experience shows me that the right priorities do both: We must deliver America's best educational outcomes for our kids--from pre-K on up to high school and college. We have to support our small businesses and striving entrepreneurs.

On Government Reform:
Stop discouraging voter turnout
After watching Chris Sununu prioritize right-wing positions on privatizing public education, weakening unions, discouraging voter turnout, failing to lead on LGBTQ equality, and pushing tax cuts for a small number

On Health Care:
System should be stable, affordable, and accessible
Steve's passion for universal health care access for every New Hampshirite comes from his upbringing. Too many people think we have to choose: Either we help working people and their families, or we focus on growing our economy.
But my experience shows me that the right priorities do both: We need a health care system that's stable, affordable, and accessible--including becoming a national leader in preventing and treating substance abuse and addiction.

On Immigration:
1st-generation American; sees positive power of immigration
Steve's passion on everything from the positive power of immigration, to the importance of entrepreneurism, come from his upbringing. You see, I know what economic anxiety feels like for many families today, because I grew up as a first-generation
American on the West Side of Manchester in a working-class home. My parents were immigrants to this country and neither graduated high school. Their work ethic was unmatched. They started small businesses. And they played by the rules.
There were times of deep economic anxiety along the way--and they never stopped working. They are America.
Through their hard work, I was able to be the first in my family to go to college. I've had good jobs in the public and private sectors.
And I've had the honor of serving the City of Portsmouth as a councilor and mayor.
I've lived the American Dream here in New Hampshire, and it gives me the optimism and confidence that future working families can live it, too.

On Tax Reform:
Oppose tax cuts for small number of large companies
After watching Chris Sununu prioritize right-wing positions on privatizing public education, weakening unions, discouraging voter turnout, failing to lead on LGBTQ equality, and pushing tax cuts for a small number of large companies
at the expense of everybody else, it's more clear to me than ever that New Hampshire deserves a Governor who can make New Hampshire the best state in America to start a family and start a business.

On Technology:
Invest in NH infrastructure so businesses want to grow here
Too many people think we have to choose: Either we help working people and their families, or we focus on growing our economy. But my experience shows me that the right priorities do both:- We need to fix our roads, bridges, sewers, and electric
grid--because why should businesses invest in New Hampshire, if New Hampshire won't invest in New Hampshire?
- We must deliver America's best educational outcomes for our kids--from pre-K on up to high school and college.
- We have to support our
small businesses and striving entrepreneurs--our greatest job creators.
- We need a health care system that's stable, affordable, and accessible--including becoming a national leader in preventing and treating substance abuse and addiction.
We can make New Hampshire the best place in America to start and raise a family, and the best place to start and grow a business. We will aspire to be the example of what America, at our best, can be. That's why I'm running for Governor.
