Every child deserves the chance to reach their full potential — and a strong public education is indispensable in this pursuit. We can’t keep putting off our responsibility to fund our public schools. #NHPolitics

New Hampshire’s schools deserve better, and today’s ruling affirms it. Property taxpayers shouldn’t be left holding the bill while the state underfunds education. We owe it to our kids and our communities to step up. #nhpolitics

Today is a critical fundraising deadline. Republicans just passed a budget that raises costs and cuts support for Granite Staters, and we need your help to fight back. Chip in before midnight to help us stand up for working families: secure.actblue.com/donate/nhsdc...

🚨 BREAKING: New Hampshire Republicans just passed their big, bad budget. They turned their backs on Granite Staters struggling with skyrocketing housing, healthcare, childcare, and utility costs — and chose special interests over working families.

Our message: They Cut You Out. Granite Staters asked for help with housing, healthcare, and utility costs. This budget does nothing to address those needs. #nhpolitics www.wmur.com/article/clos...

Three strikes, and this budget is out. We voted no because Granite Staters deserve better. #NHPolitics

Strike three: Less safe. Less healthy. 18 positions cut from Corrections. $51 million cut from Health and Human Services. Granite Staters deserve better. #nhpolitics

Strike two: Fewer opportunities for young families and small businesses. Zero new housing investment. An 18% cut to our university system. This budget sets New Hampshire back. #NHPolitics

Strike one: Higher costs for Granite Staters. A Medicaid income tax on families. Higher property taxes from defunded neighborhood schools. This budget fails our communities. #nhpolitics

It wasn’t just the chaos. This budget raises costs on families, cuts housing and education funding, and lays off public workers. Democrats said no because this isn’t how we move New Hampshire forward. #nhpolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/06/26/n...

This budget does nothing to address the rising costs of housing, healthcare, childcare, higher education, and energy. In short, this budget doesn’t deliver—and that’s why Senate Democrats voted no. #nhpolitics

"Granite Staters have asked us for housing, for child care, to lower their monthly health care bills and utility bills, and this budget does almost nothing for any of those," said Democratic Senate Minority Leader Rebecca Perkins Kwoka. "It's going to make life less affordable in New Hampshire."

Hundreds stood in the heat yesterday to say loud and clear: this budget is not good enough. We hear you—and Senate Democrats will keep fighting to fund housing, healthcare, and our schools. #nhpolitics

While families face rising costs, Republicans are playing insider politics. Democrats are fighting to keep services funded and government running. New Hampshire deserves better. #NHPolitics

First responders showed up. They spoke out. And Senate Democrats have their back. But Senate Republicans stripped the fix from the final budget—putting public safety and retention at risk. We can’t break promises to those who keep us safe. #nhpolitics

Just wrapped up a fantastic training with our new county chairs—so much energy, dedication, and drive to win. The excitement in the room was contagious. The road to victory starts here! 💪🗳️ #NHPolitics

From retirement benefits to education—this budget is built on broken promises. Instead of keeping their word, Republicans in Concord passed the cost to you—through rising property taxes and strained local budgets. #nhpolitics indepthnh.org/2025/06/21/d...

Thank you, Cindy Rosenwald for New Hampshire, for your leadership and for standing strong against a budget that leaves too many Granite Staters behind. Your voice and your vote made it clear: we can—and must—do better. #nhpolitics

Senate Republicans delayed full retirement for first responders—again. Our first responders kept their promise to us. Senate Democrats are keeping ours: we’ll keep fighting until they get the benefits they’ve earned. #nhpolitics 🔗 www.concordmonitor.com/nh-group-ii-...

Granite Staters deserve better.

“We owe more than just a debt of gratitude to our public safety workers who do so much to keep our communities safe. This compromise position is simply unacceptable, and it is one of the many reasons why I am no longer on the committee of conference..." - Senator Rosenwald

New Hampshire created the Office of the Child Advocate after tragedy. This budget cuts its staff, limits its oversight, and delays legal counsel for kids in crisis. We’ve seen what happens when the system fails children. We can’t afford to forget. #NHPolitics #NHBudget

Across New Hampshire, people are asking for a budget that meets the moment. Join us Tuesday, June 24 | 5:00–7:30 PM State House Lawn, Concord Let’s come together to call for investments in public education, housing, and accessible health care—because our future depends on it. #NHPolitics

New Hampshire already has the second highest in-state tuition in the country. Cutting funding to USNH will only make it worse—and push more young people to leave the state after graduation. We should be investing in our future, not undercutting it. #NHPolitics #NHBudget

Granite Staters consistently name housing as their top priority. But this budget defunds the very programs that work—like the Affordable Housing Fund and Housing Champions—leaving communities without the tools they need to build for the future. #NHPolitics #HousingCrisis

Budgets reflect values. This one cuts into the very things that help families thrive—health care, education, and community support. We can and must do better. #NHPolitics 🔗 www.concordmonitor.com/new-hampshir...

More than 140 local officials from across New Hampshire are sounding the alarm on this budget. It underfunds housing and health care, expands vouchers, and pushes costs onto towns and property taxpayers. Our communities deserve better. #nhpolitics

Cutting Medicaid and imposing a Medicaid income tax won’t save money—it just shifts costs and makes it harder for families to get care. The result? More strain on our health system and less access for everyone. #nhpolitics

New Hampshire’s public schools are a national success story. But Republicans are doing everything they can to dismantle them—stripping local control, expanding vouchers, and draining resources from classrooms. This shouldn’t be political. It’s about our kids and our future. #NHPolitics

Always good to take a moment to laugh and recharge. These Senators and staff work tirelessly to lower costs and fight for Granite Staters—and they earned a break after last week’s three-hour, 12-amendment budget battle!

Addressing the housing crisis will take an all-of-the-above approach. Unfortunately, Republicans chose to defund the Housing Champions program—one of our most effective tools. Granite State families will feel the cost. #NHPolitics

When funding is pulled from public schools and health care, we all feel it—through rising property taxes, fewer services, and higher health care costs. We need a budget that strengthens the public systems Granite Staters rely on. #nhpolitics www.keenesentinel.com/opinion/op-e...

New Hampshire families are being priced out—and businesses can’t find workers. Senate Republicans had a chance to invest in proven housing solutions. They voted no. Now, families face higher costs and fewer options. #NHPolitics

New Hampshire already has the 2nd highest in‑state tuition in the nation—yet Senate Republicans just cut funding to UNH, making college even harder for Granite State students. This isn’t leadership. It’s pushing our future deeper in debt. #nhpolitics

Senate Democrats voted no—because Granite Staters deserve a budget that puts their needs first. In our new op-ed, we lay out exactly how Republicans made life harder for working families—and why this fight isn’t over. #nhpolitics 🔗 www.unionleader.com/opinion/op-e...

The problem with the Republican cuts? They Cut You - and your priorities - Out. Even where Democrats fought - and won - we’re still worse off than before. That’s the legacy of this budget - moving backwards and driving up the cost of housing, childcare, healthcare, and energy. #nhpolitics

Republicans claim it’s a “tight budget year.” In reality, over the past decade they've handed hundreds of millions to the ultra-wealthy—and now they’re downshifting the cost onto your property taxes. This isn’t fiscal responsibility. #NHPolitics

Senate Republicans passed a budget that cuts housing, raises property taxes, and imposes new costs on hardworking Granite Staters—while handing more to the ultra wealthy. Granite Staters deserve better than a government that works for the few. #nhpolitics www.nhsenatedems.org/news/060525

Working families are asking for help with housing—and this budget cuts them out. At a time when rents are rising and options are shrinking, Republicans chose to walk away from the crisis. #NHPolitics

The Republican Medicaid Income Tax will drive up already sky-high health care costs for New Hampshire families—hitting those who can least afford it the hardest. It’s not reform. It’s a cruel cost shift. #nhpolitics

New Hampshire families want strong public schools and lower property taxes. Senate Republicans just chose the opposite—expanding unaccountable vouchers while shortchanging classrooms and shifting costs to local taxpayers. #nhpolitics 🔗 www.keenesentinel.com/news/local/s...

The arsonists don’t get credit for putting out the fire. Republicans are bragging about undoing cuts they made in the first place. But this budget still raises costs on families and shortchanges the services Granite Staters rely on. #nhpolitics

Senate Democrats are listening—and we hear you. We’ll keep fighting for the priorities laid out here: housing, health care, public education, and a government that works for Granite Staters—not the Free State agenda. #nhpolitics

The Medicaid Income Tax passed by Senate Republicans will do one thing: raise costs on hardworking New Hampshire families who can least afford it. It’s punitive, unnecessary, and wrong. #nhpolitics

Thanks to Adam Sexton of WMUR for having Senator Rebecca Perkins Kwoka on CloseUp to discuss the budget and why it falls short on the issues Granite Staters care about most—like housing, healthcare, and child care. Watch the full interview here:

Tariffs are squeezing New Hampshire’s small businesses. Senate Democrats put forward a plan to provide relief and stability. Every single Republican voted no. When it’s time to stand with Main Street, they walk away. #NHPolitics

Republicans raised fees on drivers, farmers, small businesses—even kids trying to fish. All while handing out millions in taxpayer-funded vouchers for the ultra-wealthy. Let's call it what it is: a Republican tax on hardworking Granite Staters. #nhpolitics

Republicans had a simple choice: invest in housing for hardworking Granite Staters—or fund welfare for the wealthy. They chose the latter, turning their backs on the top priority for 36% of New Hampshire families. #NHPolitics

"Unfortunately, I think this is a budget that's not only going to not lower costs on things like housing, child care, monthly utility bills and health care, which are some of our top priorities that we heard, but they may even raise costs" Senator Rebecca Perkins Kwoka www.wmur.com/article/budg...

Republicans put NH taxpayers on the hook for tens of millions in new voucher spending over the next few years. Let’s be clear: this doesn’t save a dime. It’s money we could be using to lower property taxes and fund real priorities. #NHPolitics
