I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Over the last two weeks, I’ve had the opportunity to tour the 2^nd District and meet with constituents around the state. I held an open Seniors Forum in Peterborough to hear from local seniors about the importance of standing up for Social Security and Medicare. I also had the opportunity to visit the Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center in Greenfield to meet patients and staff. Last Thursday, I held a roundtable discussion with students and education officials to talk about ways to make college more affordable for middle class families. 

Hearing from Seniors in Peterborough

I was so happy to spend time with all the seniors who came out to my open Seniors Forum in Peterborough to discuss how Congress can best protect Medicare and Social Security. It was great hearing from folks about the issues that matter most to Granite State seniors, and I look forward to sharing their stories with my colleagues back in Washington, so together we can demonstrate the need to stand up and protect Medicare and Social Security. I remain committed to always fighting to protect these programs that so many of our Granite State seniors rely on.

Visiting Crotched Mountain Rehab in Greenfield

I was honored to visit with students, patients, and staff at Crotched Mountain Rehabilitation Center in Greenfield last week and to witness the education and medical care provided there. The extraordinary level of care provided at both the school and the hospital make this facility an indispensable community resource. New Hampshire is fortunate to have these specialized services for those with serious neuro-psychological, brain injury, and other complex physical and behavioral needs.

Meeting with Students in Plymouth

It was wonderful to meet with students, administrators, and higher education professionals at Plymouth State University to discuss new legislation I’m pushing in Congress that would help get student loan debt under control, and other steps we can take to decrease college costs. Ensuring that our young people have access to college is vital for the future of our country, the health of our economy, and the strength of our middle class. We must work together to fix this problem and increase college affordability for the next generation.

Have a terrific week and thanks for everything you do to make New Hampshire such a great place to live!
