Nine Solutions for a Stronger New Hampshire
Discover how Tim Harris’s practical plans leverage existing resources to tackle New Hampshire’s most pressing challenges.
Fix What’s Broken With What We Already Have
9 PROGRAMS. THOUSANDS OF JOBS. ZERO NEW TAXES.
Ocean Cleanup Fleet Initiative
Utilizing Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to deploy a fleet that restores ocean health, bolstering environmental and economic benefits.

Farm Subsidies Restoration
Engaging farmers to support future generations through junior high school gardens and funding agricultural initiatives, fostering environmental stewardship and sustainable food systems.
Empty Federal Buildings
Repurposing empty federal buildings to create affordable housing for New Hampshire residents, promoting community stability and economic development.
BioChar / Sacred Soil
Transforming waste into nutrient-rich soil and carbon credits to generate funding for property-poor schools, creating 200-400 new jobs across the region and boosting the state’s economy.
THIS ISN’T NEW.
Everything above is what people have been asking for. It was even discussed on The West Wing — 25 years ago. Social Security. Education. Healthcare. Jobs. Housing. The same issues. The same promises. The same excuses.
The solutions have existed for at least 40 years. The resources have been there. The studies have been done.
Democrats have had full control 4 times since 1985. Republicans have had it 3 times. Between them — 14 years with nobody to blame but themselves.
What’s on the scoreboard?

The ships exist. The buildings exist. The knowledge exists. The workers are ready. Stop studying. Start building.
My Philosophy
Our society has thousands of problems. Multiply that by the other 220 countries in the world and we’re not going to run out of things to do. Some of the problems we have created, some of them we’ve participated in, and some of them have nothing to do with us whatsoever. But we don’t need to destroy our basic society and the facilities of our government in order to start over — because the problems will still be here.
Here’s a page of stuff that people have wanted to get done — and we can do it with our whole heart, our whole mind, our whole body, without destroying everything first.
I am not trying to blame anyone or push anything off on anybody. And if all I end up being known as is the janitor — fine. I’ll do the cleanup. Let’s work together on this instead of fighting like we’re some reality TV show.
