We have a highly engaged citizenry in the Granite State, and these town halls give me a valuable opportunity to speak with thousands of my constituents at once and hear their thoughts and concerns. The comments and suggestions I heard are so important to informing my work in Washington. I want to thank everyone who joined the call last night, and I look forward to hosting another one in the near future.”
