On Earth Day, I was proud to introduce bicameral legislation to invest in renewable energy and support local communities that host Department of Energy (DOE)  transmission projects.

This legislation will support economic development, infrastructure and recreation improvements, and conservation and stewardship while promoting a clean energy future. By increasing the capacity of clean energy transmission and investing in local communities, these projects will be a win-win for all.

I was proud to help pass this funding to ensure solar energy is accessible to more Granite Staters.

Also this week, I was excited to help announce significant federal funding from the Inflation Reduction Act coming to New Hampshire to help lower energy costs for Granite Staters by delivering affordable solar to low-income households. 

Solar energy provides a tremendous opportunity to combat climate change and lower costs for consumers. These significant resources will help expand the benefits of solar energy to families and communities throughout New Hampshire.

I’m thrilled to see these improvements I pushed for in 2017 become a reality.

Women veterans are the fastest-growing group of veterans receiving care at the VA—it’s essential they can access the services and support they need to thrive when they return to civilian life.

This week, the Manchester VA held a ceremony celebrating the groundbreaking of its new Women Veterans Health Clinic, which I have long advocated for. In 2017, I sent a letter to New Hampshire VA Medical Center Acting Director Alfred Montoya urging the VA to make changes and long-term plans to better accommodate women veterans’ unique health care needs.

This groundbreaking project marks an essential step in realizing that need by expanding the VA’s resources for women veterans in the Granite State, and I look forward to seeing the positive impact this expanded facility will have.
