In District 7 (floterial), Chris McAleer (D-Jackson) and former state representative Norman Tregenza (R-Bartlett) are facing off for the seat being vacated by state Rep. Ed Butler (D-Hart’s Location), who chose not to run for again. District 7 covers Albany, Bartlett, Chatham, Conway, Eaton, Freedom, Hale’s Location, Hart’s Location, Jackson, Madison and Tamworth. The election is Nov. 3. The essays below answer questions posed by the League of Women Voters regarding: 1) a clean energy policy; 2) the Fiscal Committee’s decision not to accept a federal charter school grant; 2) adding a broad-based state tax to increase revenues; 4) protecting and not infringing on gun ownership rights; and 5) getting a family leave bill passed. — Daymond Steer
