I’ve worked with law enforcement, public health experts, and colleagues to ensure that the scheduling of fentanyl analogues does not lapse. I’m glad that this legislation passed the House and is headed to the President’s desk.

I’ve heard directly from New Hampshire businesses about how deeply this administration’s reckless tariffs will hurt their bottom lines. I’m pushing legislation that would rein in the President’s indiscriminate, sweeping tariffs. www.wmur.com/article/bren...

Veterans answered the call to service and fought for each and every American regardless of our political differences. No veteran should ever be denied VA care because of politics. That’s not how it should work in our country. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

12% of New Hampshire’s rural hospitals are at risk of closing if the Republican budget scheme goes through with its devastating cuts to Medicaid. Families in our rural communities already face more barriers to getting the care they need. These cuts risk lives.

Recently I met with students enrolled at Job Corps in Manchester, which the Trump administration is working to shut down. These students have faced adversity: many were forced to drop out of high school, have parents battling addiction, or felt like they had no hope for success.

FACT: Under the Republicans’ current budget, the poorest Americans will lose $1,600 a year while the wealthiest’s incomes would increase by $12,000. This analysis was completed by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office, and the numbers don’t lie. apnews.com/article/trum...

Last week in Dover, I listened to powerful stories from Granite Staters who rely on Medicaid and are scared about severe cuts under the Republicans’ budget. I’ll never stop listening to the people I represent in Congress and fighting for the programs and services that they need and deserve.

I’m very grateful to Lucas Young, his mom Heather, and their entire family for sharing their story with me this week. Their family relies on Medicaid for Lucas to get the care he needs. They’re incredibly worried about what cuts to the program will mean for his care and well-being.

Iran is a terrorist state that has long fueled death and destruction aimed squarely at the United States, Israel, and our allies. A nuclear-armed Iran is a severe threat to America’s national security, global stability, and the existence of Israel.

By passing the rescissions package, House Republicans prioritized DOGE and President Trump’s agenda—not what’s best for the American people or our national security. These sweeping cuts undermine public media, our ability to foster democracy, and stop the spread of diseases. I voted no.

Permanently scheduling deadly fentanyl analogues as Schedule 1 will ensure law enforcement retains important tools they need to tackle the opioid crisis and hold traffickers accountable. Yesterday I spoke on the House floor urging my colleagues to support legislation to do just that. ⬇️

More than 26,000 people in New Hampshire live with Alzheimer's. We must continue fighting for a world without Alzheimer's and other dementias. NIH research is critical to this fight and so many others. I’ll keep listening to experts and working alongside advocates for progress & a brighter future.

The Republicans’ budget scheme is not just a fight in Washington. It’s an attack on hard-working families' ability to put food on the table and seniors getting the health care they need. It’s real and personal for so many. Let’s continue to hold the line.

Health care is so important for New Hampshire families, and in Congress I remain committed to delivering results that improve health care access and lower costs. I met with hospital leaders from New Hampshire to discuss how we can strengthen care, bolster our workforce, and increase affordability.

Sat down with New Hampshire small business GenTent yesterday to hear about the impact of tariffs on their business. I’m supporting two efforts to force a vote on legislation to overturn the President’s harmful tariffs on Mexico and Canada. I’ll keep working to do more.
