My office’s weekly office hours are available so you can meet my staff and ask questions about federal resources and programs, from Social Security to IRS. For times and locations for this week, see below. (NOTE: No office hours in Laconia this week.)

To all those marking the beginning of #RoshHashanah tonight in New Hampshire and throughout the world: L’Shanah Tovah! Wishing you a sweet, safe, and prosperous new year.

GEAR UP NH serves over 4,000 students and helps prepare them to enter and succeed in post-secondary education. That’s why I’m fighting for the restoration of this program’s funding which the Trump Administration canceled last week. Read more: pappas.house.gov/media/press-...

14 years ago, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” was repealed - a critical step toward equality for LGBTQ+ service members. The trauma of these policies isn't over, and neither is the fight. We must ensure that those unfairly discharged get the benefits they earned and that those who want to serve can.

This week House Republicans pushed through government funding legislation that will cause health care costs to skyrocket as well as a procedural measure that blocks Congress’s ability to push back against President Trump’s chaotic tariffs. Learn more. ⬇️

Today the Republican majority in Congress abandoned bipartisanship and brought to the floor a highly partisan continuing resolution that fails to meet the needs of New Hampshire. Read my full statement below.

On National POW/MIA Recognition Day and every day, we honor our U.S. service members who are Prisoners of War, Missing in Action, or otherwise unaccounted for. We will not forget them or their sacrifice for our nation.

35,000 veterans received letters from the Department of Veterans Affairs wrongly indicating that they are facing foreclosure, causing distress, confusion, and financial hardship for our veterans and their families. I’m demanding answers and accountability. taskandpurpose.com/news/va-lett...

I met with leaders and members of the New Hampshire Automobile Dealers Association to discuss supporting our businesses and consumers. Thanks for stopping by!

If Republicans refuse to extend the ACA’s premium tax credits before September 30, another 4 million more Americans will lose coverage, 22 million people’s premiums will rise by 75% next year, and health costs will rise for families across the board. Congress must act.

Thousands of New Hampshire active duty and reserve personnel could be forced to work without pay in the event of a government shutdown. I helped introduce legislation that guarantees they would never miss a paycheck, no matter what happens in Washington. Read more: pappas.house.gov/media/press-...

Happy 78th birthday to the U.S. Air Force! On September 18, 1947, the Air Force was officially established as a branch of the U.S. military. Thank you to all the men and women who have served our country over these years, protecting our skies and way of life.

To every veteran on their recovery journey, whether you're facing substance use disorder, PTSD, or depression, know you are not alone. Remember this National Recovery Month, your support system didn't end when you left the service. va.gov/health-care/health-needs-conditions/mental-health

My office had a wonderful Pop-Up Passport Fair at Pope Memorial Library in North Conway today! 70 Granite Staters got help with their passport applications and renewals. Thank you to the staff of the National Passport Center!

Thank you to leaders of New Hampshire Community Action Programs for stopping by today and for all they do for our communities and children, including Head Start and early childhood education programs!

I support SBIR and STTR because I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact they have on our small businesses and America’s global competitiveness. Efforts to gut these programs could not be more misguided or detrimental to our small businesses and national security.

House Republicans just released their funding legislation. Here’s one thing you should know: It does not include any extension for the Affordable Care Act’s premium tax credits, which are set to expire at the end of this year. 22 million Americans will see higher premiums if nothing is done.

There are 5 spots left at tomorrow's Pop-Up Passport Fair!

It’s National Truck Driver Appreciation Week! Thank you to all our truckers in New Hampshire and across the country who deliver products and goods for us every day and keep our economy moving. #NTDAW25 #ThankATrucker

SNAP helps working families put food on the table, hungry kids get a meal, and supports our farmers. Devastating cuts to this food assistance program are hurting NH parents, children, and farms. I’ll continue working to stop these cuts and support programs that help families make ends meet.

President Trump’s tariffs are a national sales tax on the American people - raising prices for families and leaving less money in your pocket. House Republicans are trying to block our efforts to push back against this wrongheaded policy. I'll be voting no. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Last week I met with Granite Staters representing the NH Women's Foundation! Thank you for everything you do for women and girls across New Hampshire, from fighting for reproductive rights to demanding equality and representation in all areas of life. I stand with you in this fight.

It is always great to meet with New Hampshire’s local Veterans of Foreign Wars representatives. I’m proud to fight for our veterans on the House Veterans Affairs Committee and will continue working to get things done for all who have served.

Happening this Wednesday!

USDA’s drastic reorganization will close Northeast offices and take critical support away from our farmers and families on food assistance. My colleagues and I are demanding answers, transparency, and for this plan to not move forward. manchester.inklink.news/pappas-goodl...

Today marks 24 years since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. It’s up to all of us to never forget the horrors of that dark day, honor the memories of those lost in the attacks, and continue working to unite our country around our shared ideals.

There is no place for political violence in America. Ever. Today’s horrific shooting is repulsive and must be repudiated by everyone who loves our country and our free and open society. My prayers and sincere condolences are with the family of Charlie Kirk.

UPCOMING IN NORTH CONWAY: A Pop-Up Passport Fair on Wednesday, September 17th. To schedule an appointment or learn more ➡️ pappas.house.gov/passport

Joined a discussion on the importance of the Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer programs for our businesses, research and development, & economy, but also for our national security & global competitiveness. I’ll stand against proposals that would cut funding.

By preventing harmful facility downsizing and enhancing service, these bipartisan measures will safeguard mail service for communities across New Hampshire. I’ll continue to support efforts that strengthen transparency, protect our postal workers, and improve mail service.

New Hampshire must remain vigilant in protecting infrastructure from foreign interference by adversaries like China. My legislation is a common-sense, bipartisan step that will help safeguard our infrastructure from those who may wish to do us harm. Read more: pappas.house.gov/media/press-...

One of our most pressing challenges in New Hampshire is the nursing shortage. I was glad to support the opening of Grappone Hall, so Saint Anselm and the Jean School of Nursing can continue to train the next generation of skilled nurses. www.unionleader.com/news/health/...

The Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is free, confidential, and available 24/7 for anyone needing support or experiencing a mental health or substance-related crisis. Don’t hesitate to call or text 9-8-8 for help if you or someone you know is ever in need. #988Day

With the bipartisan infrastructure law, we created a program to connect communities in need to high-speed internet. Now, the Trump administration is making changes to the program that will hurt its effectiveness and delivery. I'm urging them to reverse course. ➡️ pappas.house.gov/media/press-...

This economy is becoming unbearable for many New Hampshire families, from the cost of groceries, to cars, to child care. I’ll continue working to lower costs and fighting back against this Administration’s actions that are increasing prices. Watch more. ⬇️

I was thrilled to join the ribbon cutting ceremony for Grappone Hall at Saint Anselm’s Jean School of Nursing and Health Sciences. I worked with St. Anselm to help secure federal funding for this project, and I look forward to seeing this facility help train the next generation of skilled nurses.

This week I: 🩺Introduced legislation to fight back against this Administration’s attacks on health care 🖊️Signed a discharge petition that would force a vote on the Epstein files 👮Helped the House pass my legislation to combat foreign drug trafficking Watch below to learn more.

We know PFAS is harmful to people’s health and that families in Londonderry have contaminated water. I’m calling on EPA to take action to connect these households to the municipal water system so that they can access safe, clean water, which everyone deserves. ➡️ pappas.house.gov/media/press-...

URGENT: The Trump administration is ending the IRS’s Direct File program, despite evidence showing that Direct File saved the average user $160 in return fees and hours of effort in preparing their return. If you used Direct File, fill out their survey to let them know. ow.ly/X4GC50WKirp

I’m hearing directly from parents and educators in New Hampshire about how this administration’s program cuts and chaotic tariffs are increasing costs as kids head back to school. This is the opposite of what families need. I’ll keep working to lower costs. www.wmur.com/article/new-...

NEW: My office is holding a Pop-Up Passport Fair in North Conway on Wednesday, September 17th. To schedule an appointment or learn more ➡️ pappas.house.gov/passport

President Trump and Republicans in Congress didn’t just cut Medicaid, forcing providers to close and kicking millions off their health care. They are also forcing Medicaid patients to pay a ‘sick tax’ and helping Big Pharma evade accountability. I introduced legislation to repeal these provisions.

The House passed my bipartisan legislation to crack down on foreign drug trafficking and sanction Chinese suppliers of key fentanyl ingredients last night. Fentanyl overdoses continue to kill tens of thousands of Americans every year. We must do more. Read more ➡️ pappas.house.gov/media/press-...

Signed onto this discharge petition tonight. The Administration’s refusal to release these files publicly is unacceptable. Speaker Johnson must do what is right and bring this legislation to the floor for a vote.

I’m headed back to DC - and taking the stories I've heard from families, small businesses, and seniors with me. Here’s what I’ve been up to. ⬇️ youtube.com/shorts/FptMW...

I held a roundtable at Waypoint to hear how President Trump's tariffs are impacting NH. Effectively a national sales tax, it’s estimated they'll cost families $2,400 each year. I'm fighting to stop these reckless tariffs and exempt essential goods, to ensure families can make ends meet.

On Labor Day we honor American workers and all they have done to build this country. Working families are the engine that drives our economy and grows our middle class, and I will always have their backs in the face of an all-out assault on the right to organize by the Trump administration.

New Hampshire’s great outdoors are a treasure that brings visitors to our state, provides families with space for outdoor recreation, and boosts our local economy. I joined Appalachian Mountain Club staff at Pinkham Notch to get an update on their work in conservation and outdoor recreation.

Today I met with Mount Washington Valley business leaders about how this administration’s reckless trade war is driving up their costs and decreasing tourist visits from our neighbors in Canada. I’ll keep working to overturn these wrongheaded trade policies and support our small businesses.

Some NH health facilities have announced upcoming closures because of Republican’s so-called Big Beautiful Bill. This means Granite Staters will have to travel farther, pay more, and wait longer to access the care they need. I’ll keep working to fix this damage. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/08/10/m...
