On Drugs: Legalize medical marijuana for chronic pain

On medical marijuana: "Colin will work with legislators to ensure that the state's recently-implemented medical cannabis program doesn't restrict medically-sound usage for chronic pain conditions that are safely treated by the drug. He will support legislation that would allow New Hampshire to join every other New England state in decriminalization." Source: Ballotpedia.org on 2016 New Hampshire Gubernatorial race Aug 31, 2016

On Education: Universal full-day kindergarten; more PACE; more local aid

Colin will work with educators and state and local school boards to lift the restriction that is preventing more school districts from launching PACE pilot programs. This would reduce our reliance on standardized tests while maintaining appropriate learning standards for kids at every grade.

Fully funding universal full-day kindergarten will improve our schools while also helping more working parents fully participate in the workforce.

New Hampshire cannot afford to refuse fast-growing school districts a proportional increase in state funding for their students, as has happened in recent years. Additionally, the state should consider how to reinstitute a more sustainable building aid program to support local building construction projects that are in clear need.
