Political Thinking
Congressman Sinclair is a self-described "common sense" reformer. His most noted cause is that of education reform, of which he has spent a good portion of his life putting into practice. He seeks to expand rural opportunities to education, initiate a merit-based pay system for teachers, and has been a vocal critic of the role the Teachers Union plays in the educational sphere. He has also pushed for innovative school choice programs aimed not at ideology, but at getting better results. Sinclair's other, no less important issue, has been fighting against deficit spending and out of control budgets. He was elected, in part, on a promise to bring transparency and restraint to Washington on behalf of the frugal citizenry of the Granite State. Congressman Sinclair is also a strong proponent of many environmental issues, including combating pollution, climate change, and preserving open spaces. His background as an Army Intelligence Officer has lent him considerable expertise and experience surrounding national security issues. On this issue, the Congressman is generally non-ideological. In addition, with a strong background in the Military, Congressman Sinclair has been a proponent of veterans issues. In particular, he has advocated efforts to streamline the bureaucracy and expand resources to veterans in rural or otherwise isloated communities.
