Hello Friends,

I hope you are having a safe and wonderful weekend and are able to keep safe and warm as the winter months set in! It was a busy week in Washington working to protect and invest in New Hampshire's water systems and the communities and businesses that rely on them.

I’m thrilled to welcome these resources to protect Granite Staters’ access to safe, clean water.

Access to safe, clean water is essential to the health and well-being of our communities, our economy, and our Granite State way of life.

This week, I was thrilled to welcome significant resources made available through the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development program to upgrade New Hampshire’s wastewater systems and protect Granite Staters from harmful pollutants.

This legislation will ensure ongoing federal support for New Hampshire’s dam safety efforts through the National Dam Safety Program.

Dams are the unseen fabric of the Northeast—they facilitate agriculture, transportation, water storage, recreation, and clean power generation.

Also this week, I was proud to join more than 390 of my colleagues in passing the Thomas R. Carper Water Resources Development Act of 2024, which included provisions from my National Dam Safety Program Reauthorization Act. This legislation will strengthen the National Dam Safety program and help protect an important part of the recreational, safety, and power-generation infrastructure of New Hampshire’s water systems.

Protecting Granite Staters' Access to Medical Care

It’s critical New Hampshire health care providers and patients have access to life-saving medical supplies.

New Hampshire health care providers and patients rely on the reliable delivery of life-saving medical supplies, especially IV fluids. In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, Baxter International has repeatedly failed to deliver the amount of IV supplies that they have promised to our state's hospitals.

This week, I joined the rest of the congressional delegation in sending a letter to Baxter International urging the company to take steps to increase the amount of IV fluid delivered to New Hampshire. This matter is especially urgent as the winter season approaches when providers need an increased supply of IV solutions to meet the usual surge in complex care during the colder months.
