Democratic candidates David Paige, Ben Colbath, and Ellin Leonard discussed their platforms and key legislative concerns for the upcoming election. Primary topics included opposition to state-mandated tax caps, concerns over the lack of accountability in the voucher system, and the need for increased funding for affordable housing and municipal infrastructure. The candidates emphasized local control, criticizing state interference in town decisions. They also addressed potential taxation, rejecting broad-based sales or income taxes while supporting enabling legislation for local hotel fees to fund emergency services. Ultimately, they aim to flip the House to better address community needs like housing and education.
