Dear Friend, This week, as our country’s long overdue conversation on sexual harassment and assault continues, I joined Congresswoman Jackie Speier (D-CA), Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Congressmen Ryan Costello (D-PA) and Bruce Poliquin (R-ME) to introduce bipartisan legislation to prevent and respond to sexual harassment in Congress. The Member and Employee Training… Read more »

Dear Friend, On Veterans Day tomorrow, we gather to commemorate the bravery, patriotism, and sacrifice of the heroic veterans, active duty service men and women, military families, and those who gave their lives to keep our country safe. I watched my father and father-in-law struggle with the unseen wounds of war after their service in World War II, and I appreciate the need to support… Read more »

Dear Friend, From my first days in Congress, my main goal has been to bring people together in support of commonsense solutions to the challenges we face. Disagreements and debates over policy are an important and healthy part of our democracy, but at the end of the day people of good faith should come together with the goal of enacting change that will improve people’s lives and… Read more »

Despite repeated attempts to repeal and undermine it, the ACA remains in effect, and you can still sign up for health coverage for 2018. Open enrollment begins TODAY, November 1, and lasts until December 15.  Visit healthcare.gov to fill out an… Read more »

Dear Friend, During this time of hyper partisanship in Washington it’s so important to find areas of common ground where we can push for our shared goals that will benefit Granite Staters and the American people. That’s why I’ve formed two bipartisan Task Forces, one to tackle the opioid epidemic and the other to address sexual violence. Both these issues pose… Read more »

Dear Friend,  This week, I have been inspired by everyone who is letting survivors of sexual assault know they are not alone through their #MeToo posts. I know the challenges of coming forward all too well. I was silent about my experiences with sexual assault for nearly forty years. The brave women and men who are taking to social media to shed light on the persistent issue of… Read more »

This week, President Trump issued two executive orders that will undermine the Affordable Care Act and jeopardize access to healthcare for thousands of people in New Hampshire. These deliberate efforts by President Trump to destroy the ACA are going to have devastating consequences for real people and families in New Hampshire and across the country. Ending cost-sharing reduction payments… Read more »

It’s been a challenging week following the violence in Las Vegas Sunday evening. Like you, I was horrified to awake on Monday to yet another mass shooting that took the lives of 58 people and injured more than 500. The images and sounds we heard on television, radio, and social media were shocking and deeply troubling. But, in that hellish scene we also saw glimmers of hope as first… Read more »

Dear Friend, Last week, I sat down with Bustle to discuss my deep concerns over the Department of Education’s recent announcement that the Trump Administration is rescinding guidance on campus sexual violence issued in 2011 by the Obama Administration. This decision is appalling. It tilts the scales against survivors, endangers students, protects predators, and makes campuses less… Read more »

Dear Friend, I wanted to share with you an op-ed I wrote in the New Hampshire Business Review about the need for members of Congress to work together across the aisle to reform our tax code so that it supports hardworking families and small businesses in New Hampshire and across the country. Our current tax code overwhelming favors large corporations and the wealthiest… Read more »
