I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Last week, I spoke at a celebration of OSRAM Sylvania’s new manufacturing project at their facility in Hillsborough. Earlier this week, I attended an event to commemorate the launching of the Eleanor’s Hope initiative by the National Committee to Protect Social Security and Medicare, which is designed to support economic opportunity and retirement security for women. I also spoke at an event held by New Futures to honor leaders in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse.

Celebrating an Advanced Manufacturer in Hillsborough

I was delighted to help OSRAM Sylvania celebrate their innovative headlamp system for the new Ford F150 truck today in Hillsborough! The company is helping to boost the Granite State economy by expanding our state’s manufacturing base and creating good jobs for NH workers. It was also Employee Appreciation Day, so I got the opportunity to thank the dedicated workforce.

Advocating for Women's Equality and Social Security

On Wednesday in Nashua, I was thrilled to join in launching Eleanor’s Hope in New Hampshire. It’s an initiative of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare to build awareness and support for women’s economic security in retirement. Since I first took office, I have been  committed to fighting to preserve Social Security and Medicare for Granite State seniors, as well as equal rights and equal pay for women, and I look forward to continuing this work alongside Eleanor’s Hope.

Honoring Leaders in the Fight against Substance Abuse

It was wonderful to join leaders of the movement to address alcohol and substance abuse in New Hampshire at the New Futures awards event to recognize champions of this important cause. 

Alcohol and substance abuse is a serious problem facing the Granite State, and its eradication will take the work of all of us and many more. We need to treat more people suffering from substance abuse disorders, and we need to prevent alcohol and substance dependence and misuse at an early stage.

Helping Granite Staters

Recently, I was contacted by Deborah Norris of Concord on behalf of her father, Albert R. Hagen. Albert had received medals for his service, but Deborah and Albert believed he was eligible for additional medals and awards for his military service in World War II. My staff was able to obtain these medals for Mr. Hagen. If my office may ever be of assistance with a problem you are facing, please contact my staff at 603-226-1002 so we may help you resolve your problem or get you the information you need. 

Thanks for everything you do to make New Hampshire such a special place to live!
