John’s Priorities
No Sales Tax - Not Now. Not Ever.
Government must live within its means, prioritize essential services, and protect taxpayers from unnecessary burdens.
Keep Control Local — Stop Unwanted Data Centers
Decisions that impact our communities should be made by the people who live there. John opposes large-scale data center projects that threaten local resources, increase pressure on infrastructure, and override the wishes of local residents. He believes towns and cities should maintain control over zoning and development decisions.
Stronger Support for Neurodivergent Students
Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed. John believes schools must provide meaningful support, resources, and individualized learning opportunities for neurodivergent students, ensuring families have access to the services their children need to thrive.
Defend the Second Amendment
John is a strong supporter of the constitutional right to keep and bear arms. He believes law-abiding New Hampshire citizens have the right to protect themselves, their families, and their communities while supporting responsible firearm ownership.
Common-Sense Abortion Policy
John believes New Hampshire should have reasonable abortion laws that protect the rights and dignity of women while recognizing the importance of protecting unborn life. He supports policies that balance compassion, personal responsibility, and respect for families.
Lower Costs Through Fiscal Responsibility
With rising costs affecting families across New Hampshire, John will fight for responsible spending, transparency, and accountability in government. He believes every taxpayer dollar should be carefully considered and that government programs should deliver real value.
Preserve Local Education Excellence
John supports strong schools that prepare students for success while ensuring education dollars are used effectively. He believes parents should have a meaningful voice in their children's education and that schools should focus on academic achievement, opportunity, and student needs.
Support Working Families and Small Businesses
New Hampshire's economy is powered by entrepreneurs, tradespeople, and small businesses. John will work to reduce unnecessary regulations, encourage economic growth, and keep New Hampshire a place where families and businesses can succeed.
Protect New Hampshire Values
John Colford is committed to preserving what makes New Hampshire special: individual freedom, local control, personal responsibility, and a government that serves the people—not the other way around.
