Member of the New Hampshire Senate
from the 9th district
In office
December 6, 2018 –December 2, 2020

Dietsch has been a proponent of an income tax. In 2019, Dietsch was the sponsor for a last minute amendment, to an unrelated bill dealing with using cell phones while driving, which would have added a 6.2% payroll tax. [4] [5]

In June 2020, Dietsch was quoted on comments made at a House Education Committee Meeting while debating a bill on school choice, where she stated “this idea of parental choice, that’s great if the parent is well-educated. There are some families that’s perfect for. But to make it available to everyone? No. I think you’re asking for a huge amount of trouble.” [6] [7] [8]

Dietsch's bill to establish Telecommunications Districts, [9] in order to ease rural broadband expansion, became law in 2020. [10]
