The Federal Aviation Administration must take immediate steps to address the uptick in the accidental release of toxic fumes on commercial aircraft.

Addressing this issue is crucial to protecting the health and safety of passengers and crew members.

It’s Small Business Saturday!

In New Hampshire, small businesses are the heart of our communities and the backbone of our economy. Celebrate today by shopping small!

Happy Thanksgiving, New Hampshire!

Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday.

Got put right to work at this year’s annual Harbor Care Thanksgiving Dinner yesterday!

Thank you to the team at Harbor Care for supporting those in need, including our veterans.

In a time of rising antisemitism and racial violence across the nation, we must forcefully take a stand against emblems that incite hate and violence.

The Coast Guard should never have even considered changing the classification of swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

DOD quietly revised its PFAS cleanup schedule, delaying work at hundreds of sites, including in New Hampshire.

I’m leading the NH delegation in calling on DOD to provide a list of what has been revised at Pease Air Force Base and New Boston Space Force Station.

Home heating costs are expected to rise even faster than inflation this winter. Families should not have to choose between staying warm and other essentials like food or rent.

I’m leading a call for home heating assistance to urgently be delivered to families in need.

Grateful to spend some time this morning at the Nashua Soup Kitchen helping share Thanksgiving food boxes with folks in the community.

It’s extremely concerning that the U.S. Coast Guard was ever considering classifying swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as “potentially divisive” instead of as the clear antisemitic and racial hate symbols they are.

I’m demanding answers.

My bipartisan Dark Web Interdiction Act aims to target the use of the dark web to procure and ship deadly drugs.

We must strengthen efforts that hold traffickers accountable and stop the flow of drugs into our communities.

New Hampshire’s lack of a full-service VA hospital means our veterans may not have access to, or may need to travel long distances for, essential care.

VA should publicly release their action plan so that we can hear from New Hampshire veterans in this process.

The Trump administration's hiring freeze is impacting the DEA's ability to do their job–analyze evidence and help combat drug trafficking.

My bipartisan LAB Personnel Act would address this to make sure the new New England lab can fully support our law enforcement to crack down on traffickers.

This week was a busy one as the House was finally back in session. Legislation to release the Epstein files was signed into law, I introduced legislation to strengthen efforts to combat drug trafficking, and more.

Here’s a quick update.

Joined HVAC’s Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs Subcommittee’s oversight hearing today on improving VA’s examination scheduling system so Granite State veterans can apply for benefits faster and closer to home.

Today we remember transgender Americans who have tragically lost their lives to anti-transgender violence, bigotry, and hate.

I’m committed to building a better, safer world where everyone can live without fear. #TDOR

Under the bipartisan infrastructure law, Congress worked together to approve critical investments into our communities like the BEAD program.

This funding should never have been threatened or delayed, and now it will soon be delivered to New Hampshire.

I joined the bipartisan effort to force a vote on the Epstein files and ensure that no one, no matter how powerful, is above the law.

The survivors deserve justice, and the American people deserve the truth.

Open enrollment must be extended to give people the time and flexibility they need to choose their coverage.

I’ve called on the Trump administration to take this simple step, but if they won’t act, Congress must.

I met with NH parents about how their health care costs are massively increasing due to the expiring ACA enhanced premium tax credits - their premiums have tripled.

They are not alone in the struggle to afford health care. Republican inaction in Congress will make it worse for working families.

Joined ReGen Valley Tech Hub’s groundbreaking ceremony at their new Facility and Training Center in Manchester last week.

The ReGen Valley is at the forefront of developing regenerative tissues and organs, and this new space will be critical in expanding their capacity and workforce development.

This fight is and always has been about preventing a drastic increase in health care costs and making life more affordable for Granite Staters. As the House finally returns to session, that is where our focus must remain.

Honored to join veterans and community members at the New Hampshire Veterans Home today to recognize Veterans Day.

We owe those who have served us in uniform a tremendous debt, and I’m committed to ensuring all our veterans receive the quality care, services, and respect they have earned.

The deal reached in the Senate on government funding fails to prevent a massive increase in health insurance costs for families and small businesses, and for that reason I can’t support it.
