Grateful to our TSA agents in New Hampshire and across the country for working to keep us safe.

The Republican majority in Congress has blocked bills that would pass overwhelmingly to fund TSA, Coast Guard, FEMA, and other vital services.

I'll keep fighting to get that done.

Last July when presenting a Gold Star Lapel Button to the Saracy Family in honor of Private Daniel Janvrin of Seabrook who was killed in action in World War II, we learned his Purple Heart was missing.

Honored to present that medal to his family so they know his sacrifice will never be forgotten.

I remain committed to using every resource available to bring down costs and ensure that families and small businesses are not paying the price for this administration’s reckless actions.

Gas prices are up 50 cents due to Trump’s war in Iran – people are already facing high costs on groceries and health care thanks to this admin.

I’m introducing legislation to suspend the gas tax, provide consumers relief, and hold oil companies accountable if they refuse to pass these savings.

St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is a great community resource for those in need in Hampton.

My office was able to help them ensure their nonprofit status with the IRS, and today I stopped by to get a tour and hear from staff on what they’re seeing regarding food insecurity in Rockingham County.

Billionaires & corporations must be stopped from secretly buying our elections.
Dark money front groups must be required to disclose their donors.
And foreign money should have no place in our elections.

The DISCLOSE Act helps reform a broken system and ensure government of, by, and for the people.

For too long, politicians of both parties have defended American military operations that quickly spiraled into endless wars without clear, attainable objectives, at the cost of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars.

I voted to reassert Congress’s authority to prevent another forever war.

I’m working to ensure that the State Department is using all resources at its disposal, including charter flights, to help Americans in the Middle East return home.

These issues were predictable, and the lack of clear preparation and communication to Americans abroad is unacceptable.

Committing American troops to war in Iran is a decision that should require serious deliberation and a vote by the people’s representatives.

I will support a War Powers resolution to restore the authority of Congress and prevent the President from entangling America into another endless war.

Got a tour of upgrades at Manchester’s Emergency Operations Center, which is improving public safety & supporting our first responders & law enforcement.

I helped secure federal funds for this through my office’s community-driven process. Projects like this are how we ensure NH is safe and strong.

Donald Trump’s new 10% global tariff comes into effect US president had said he would raise levy to 15% after last week’s supreme court ruling

Tariffs are a tax that Americans are paying for every day.

Instead of allowing working families, seniors, and small businesses relief after his illegal tariffs were struck down by the Supreme Court, the President has chosen to put more taxes on the American people.

VA to formally rescind controversial disability ratings rule A policy requiring VA medical examiners to include effects of medication in assigning disability ratings is expected to be formally rescinded on Feb. 27.

Today veterans won.

After push back from veterans, Veteran Service Organizations, and my colleagues and I, VA is not moving forward with their new disability ratings rule that would have weakened veterans’ benefits.

I’ll continue to fight for veterans and defend their earned benefits.

Sat down with NH community health center leaders to discuss ways to strengthen access to telehealth and support our essential health care workforce.

Merrimack officials relieved ICE warehouse plans nixed Elected officials reacted with a sense of relief Tuesday as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) canceled its plans to open a detention center in Merrimack.

We heard from more than 11,000 Granite Staters – over 90% of survey respondents – opposed to the taxpayer-funded ICE facility in Merrimack.

This plan has been stopped, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure local voices are heard and we get full transparency and accountability from this administration.

I’m grateful for all our food pantries do to serve people in need across the state.

As food insecurity remains a significant concern and rising costs for groceries are felt by too many, I met with food pantry directors in Carroll County to hear from those on the ground. Read about it. ⬇️
