Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Annie Kuster (NH-02) honored the life and legacy of Chief Bradley Haas on the Floor of the United States House of Representatives. Chief Haas was killed in the line of duty on November 17, 2023, while protecting the staff, patients, and visitors at the New Hampshire Hospital in Concord, NH. From his 28 years serving in the Franklin Police Department, including as chief, to his time as a U.S. Army police officer, Chief Haas was a true hero. His courage on November 17 saved countless lives and helped prevent what likely would have been a mass shooting event.

Kuster’s remarks, as prepared, are below. Her full floor speech is available here.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I rise today to recognize the life and bravery of New Hampshire’s own Bradley Haas, who was killed in the line of duty while protecting the staff and patients at the New Hampshire Hospital on November 17th, preventing what may have been a mass shooting.

There is no doubt that Chief Haas’s courage saved countless lives. Our community, state, and country owe him and his family a debt that can never be repaid.

Throughout his life of service, Chief Haas always devoted himself to working for others.

He will be remembered as many things: a hero, a patriot, a community leader, and a friend.

May he rest in peace.

Thank you, and I yield back.
