I’m committed to expanding economic opportunity, improving care for our veterans, ensuring everyone has access to quality and affordable healthcare, combating the opioid epidemic and… Read more »

Dear Friend, I wanted to share a conversation I had with Elle magazine about my work in Congress to combat the all too persistent issue of sexual violence. I discussed my own experiences with sexual assault and shared my thoughts on last week’s news that Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos will review and develop new guidance for Title IX, which guarantees women the right to learn… Read more »

Dear Friend,  You know as well as I do that inclusivity and diversity make this country stronger, not weaker. That’s why I’m deeply disappointed by President Trump’s decision to end Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), which allows people brought to the United States as children to work legally and live without fear of deportation. The young people… Read more »

Dear Friend, We know that access to higher education and skills training programs are critical for giving our young people the opportunity to succeed and get ahead in the 21st Century economy. That’s why it’s so disappointing that the budget proposed by President Trump and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos cuts funding for higher education and college affordability… Read more »

Dear Friend,  The tragic events that took place in Charlottesville, VA this past weekend have shaken us as a nation and are a stark reminder that, sadly, a few loud voices preaching hate and division can command the national spotlight. I’ve been heartened by the countless individuals who have banded together to say that these white-supremacists, neo-Nazis and domestic… Read more »

Dear Friend, This week, The Hill featured on its website an open letter that I wrote to President Trump in response to his characterization of New Hampshire as a “drug-infested den” in a call with the president of Mexico. I described the incredible work being done in New Hampshire by law enforcement, first responders, healthcare providers, medical researchers, advocates and… Read more »

Dear Friend, Last week, we learned that in a conversation with Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, President Trump said that he won New Hampshire because “New Hampshire is a drug-infested den.” I was disappointed, along with most Granite Staters, by these rude and ignorant comments. At a time when we need to be working together to address the opioid epidemic, Mr.… Read more »

Dear Friend, It’s been a busy week in Washington to say the least! Last night, the Senate rejected the “skinny repeal” of the Affordable Care Act. This was a win for the American people who are tired of partisan politics getting in the way of real solutions. Everyone who took the time to call their members of Congress over the past several months has played an… Read more »
