My statement after voting for a bipartisan agreement to reopen the federal government and give Congress a way forward to protect health care for Granite Staters:

President Trump claimed that he would cut electricity prices in half within a year. My new report shows that, in reality, Americans in almost every single state are facing higher electricity bills this year.

Open enrollment for health insurance on healthcare.gov has begun. Yesterday I spoke with doctors, health care leaders, and Granite Staters about the work we need to do to ensure that everyone can access and afford the care they need.

The Trump Administration is trying to illegally dismantle protections for students experiencing disabilities and walk back 50 years of progress. I’m pushing the Department of Education to halt these harmful actions and stop undermining the protections families have fought so hard to build.

Open enrollment for health insurance through healthcare.gov starts today – and some families are seeing their monthly premiums increase by more than $1,000. I need my colleagues to work across the aisle to reopen the government and also ensure that every American can get the care that they need.

Open enrollment for healthcare.gov starts tomorrow, and some Granite Staters will see prices rise by more than $1,000/month. Today at White Mountain Community Health Center, I heard from health leaders about how this surge in premiums hurts families.

This is what New Hampshire families are seeing when they log into healthcare.gov. We are running out of time to prevent these price hikes. We need a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and protect people’s health care.

If you buy your health insurance on healthcare.gov, prices for next year are now available. Sadly, many Granite Staters will see prices that have more than doubled. There's still time for Congress to act to prevent these surges & save access to health care.

On National First Responders Day, we honor the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe. Thank you to first responders in New Hampshire and across the country.

Seven years ago, 11 people were murdered in an antisemitic attack at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh. No one should ever feel unsafe at their house of worship. We must continue to stand up and denounce hate and bigotry wherever we see it.

It’s Drug Take Back Day New Hampshire – drop off any unneeded prescription medication at a collection site near you: dea.gov/takebackday

Today I spoke with doctors and other health care providers at New London Hospital about the urgent need to prevent health insurance premiums from skyrocketing for tens of thousands of Granite Staters. Families can't afford this.

Illegally moving special education to the Department of Health and Human Services takes us back to a time when people with disabilities were treated as patients and second-class citizens - rather than individuals seeking equal opportunity for learning and independence.

Ensuring that every child gets a great public education is critical for future success – which is why the Administration’s cuts to special education supports are catastrophic. I was grateful to hear from NH families and leaders working to support students with disabilities today.

Granite State families are already dealing with rising costs everywhere they turn. The last thing they need is for their health insurance premiums to double. We need Republicans to work with us to reopen the government and protect affordable health care.

Families need us to reopen the government AND tackle skyrocketing health care costs. The two are not mutually exclusive, and we need a bipartisan agreement to get this done.

Small businesses are the backbones of our communities, but will face skyrocketing premiums because Congressional Republicans refuse to lower health care costs. I’m working to find a bipartisan solution to reopen the government and protect health care. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

We’re now in the 3rd week of this government shutdown. I’m working to reach a bipartisan deal to reopen the government and protect health care. What’s Speaker Johnson doing? Refusing to even call the House into session to address this crisis.

I’m focused on finding a bipartisan path to reopen the government and lower health care costs. Families are facing a potential doubling of their health insurance premiums – the damage this will do to families across NH and our health care system is real.

Russell Vought should resign.

Two years ago today, Hamas terrorists launched a horrific attack on Israel. It is a day that lives in infamy, and we cannot forget those who were lost:

I’m going to keep working to find a bipartisan way to reopen the government and stop health care costs from rising even further. People are facing a spike in health insurance premiums that may cost thousands of Granite Staters their health care.

G’mar chatimah tovah and wishing a meaningful fast to those observing Yom Kippur.

On National VFW Day we honor the men and women who fought overseas in uniform and continue to serve our communities here at home. Thank you for keeping our country safe, secure, and free.

Today we honor Gold Star Mother’s and Family’s Day and all of the families of service members that never returned home. We owe you a debt that we can never fully repay but we will continue to honor and remember your loved ones.

Exciting news! Equipment that was designed and built by University of New Hampshire was just launched aboard a NASA flight. You can read more about the project below: www.unh.edu/unhtoday/new...

I spoke with Emily Carrara, Amoskeag Health’s Substance Use Prevention and Recovery Programming Supervisor, about the devastating impacts that the Republican cuts to Medicaid will have for Granite Staters in recovery.

Dig Energy is using innovative drilling technology to make efficient, cost-effective geothermal heating and cooling systems. Granite State businesses like Dig Energy are integral as we work together to build a clean energy future.

Great to speak to local organizations in Manchester today and hear about how they are using SUPPORT Act funding, which the Senate just renewed and expanded, to help fight the opioid crisis.

The Granite State PARTNERS program is working to expand New Hampshire’s health care workforce by recruiting and training more nurses. It was great to stop by this morning and thank them for their work to fill New Hampshire’s health care workforce shortage.

Happy National Lobster Day!   Hope you have a claw-some day 🦞

It was great to join students and leaders in Somersworth to discuss how GEAR UP programs help thousands of NH students prepare for and succeed in high school and college. The Administration’s decision to revoke GEAR UP funding will hurt children — and I will continue to push back against it.

The last people you should turn to for medical advice are Secretary Kennedy and President Trump.

Every Granite Stater deserves access to safe, clean drinking water.   Today I met with leaders in Merrimack to discuss how we can prevent and clean up PFAS contamination in our water.

L’Shanah Tovah New Hampshire! Wishing all celebrating Rosh Hashanah a sweet and happy new year.

I’ve heard repeatedly, including from business owners in Keene today, that President Trump’s tariffs are raising prices for Granite Staters and hurting small businesses. The President must listen to the bipartisan majority in Congress and end these reckless tariffs.

Bottom line: Republicans are ripping away the health care that Americans count on. It's wrong and here’s what it means: ⬆️Higher costs for all Americans ⬇️Fewer Americans will have access to health care

In case you missed it, the Senate unanimously passed a reauthorization of the SUPPORT Act, improving and expanding funding for addiction treatment, recovery, and training for first responders. www.unionleader.com/news/politic...

Let’s be clear: The Trump Administration is taking health insurance away from millions of Americans and raising the cost of premiums for everyone else. That puts the health and safety of our communities at risk.

On the third Friday in September, we recognize POW/MIA Day and pay tribute to our service members who became prisoners of war or went missing in action, including the more than 80,000 still missing.   Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. You are not forgotten.

I’ve reintroduced my annual resolution to recognize today as National Concussion Awareness Day. These brain injuries can happen to anyone & we must keep raising awareness to prevent them. Thanks to advocates like Granite Stater Brooke Schuessler for driving meaningful progress.

Happy Birthday to the United States Air Force! And thank you to the men and women who have helped keep our country safe, secure, and free for 78 years.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month – an important time to amplify mental health resources and remind our communities that hope and help are always within reach. If you’re struggling, calling or texting 988 will connect you to free and confidential support.

People across New Hampshire rely on SNAP to feed their families, but the Trump Administration and Congressional Republicans cut its funding to pay for tax breaks for billionaires and corporate special interests. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...

24 years after the horrific events of 9/11, we must continue to remember and honor the victims and first responders that lost their lives.

I'm shocked and horrified by the reports that Charlie Kirk was shot while speaking at an event. Political violence is never acceptable. I'm praying for him and his family.

Putin’s incursion into Poland – a NATO ally – is alarming and comes days after reports that the Trump Administration is ending security programs that deter Russian aggression. There is no appeasing Putin and we must always stand up to tyrants.

Costs keep going up. American manufacturing is contracting. Businesses don’t know whether to invest or hire. This is all a direct result of the President’s reckless tariffs and the uncertainty he has created. www.ft.com/content/f98c...

The Trump Administration continues to wreak havoc on our communities through constantly changing decisions on federal funding & reckless tariffs. I’ve heard from Granite Staters, including recently in Lancaster, about the impact that this uncertainty has had on their work.
