I am an advocate for the use of Free, Open Source Software (FOSS) as an alternative to the software that we all pay for. Rather than tell you what FOSS software is, I will show you.

If elected, I will propose legislation to encourage New Hampshire state and local governments to choose open source alternatives when feasible. This will save millions of dollars for New Hampshire taxpayers by not having to purchase recurring software licenses.
