Persistent and often dangerous staffing shortages at federal prisons nationwide cause safety concerns for BOP personnel and incarcerated individuals alike. My new, bipartisan bill will help ensure staff within our federal prisons are paid adequately for the critical work they do.
It was great to get a tour of the newly renovated, historic Gafney Home last week. This energy efficient, affordable housing for older adults is a great example of New Hampshire’s ingenuity when it comes to tackling rising costs.
Americans are looking to Congress to take tangible actions to help ease the affordability crisis. Restoring the ACA tax credits remains one of the best ways that we can do that.      I'm going to keep working in the Senate to find a bipartisan solution.
The President's misguided actions are keeping energy and home heating costs high instead of lowering them. I appreciated hearing directly from folks in Rochester about the challenges they're facing as a result, especially during New Hampshire’s cold winters.
On this Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, I'm thankful for the men and women in New Hampshire who make sacrifices every day to keep Granite Staters safe. I remain committed to ensuring those in uniform have the resources and training needed to protect and serve our communities.
Early in my career, I learned that Americans need 3 things to feel secure: A roof over their head, a good-paying job and support in case they get sick. That's why I'm not giving up on the fight to address the cost of living and ensure Americans can afford their health insurance.
I have long fought to address PFAS contamination in New Hampshire so I'm proud to introduce a bipartisan, bicameral bill that would improve care for patients who have been exposed to PFAS by ensuring health care providers have access to updated guidance. www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/l...
I'm deeply disturbed by the shooting in Minneapolis today. Immigration enforcement should be focused on going after violent criminals to make our communities safer, not hindering local law enforcement and sowing chaos. There must be a full investigation into what happened.
It’s not too late to extend the ACA tax credits that Americans rely on to make health care more affordable. I’m pursuing every bipartisan possibility to reduce health care costs for the millions of Americans who use these tax credits.
It’s been 5 years since the President incited a violent riot at the Capitol in an attempt to overturn a free and fair election. January 6, 2021, is a stain on American history. Today, I'll be keeping the more than 100 Capitol Police officers who were injured in my thoughts.
The commonsense energy circuit riders pilot is an effective way to help communities take on clean energy and energy efficiency projects that lower costs. I'm proud that we were able to bring the successful model run by Concord’s Clean Energy NH to the national level.
While Americans are already facing an affordability crisis, Republicans in Congress are allowing health care costs to skyrocket for millions. The ACA Tax Credits will expire in mere days, but Congress can still act if Republicans come to the table. www.cbsnews.com/news/aca-sub...
We must keep millions of Americans from losing health care coverage in the coming months. It’s not too late for Republicans to join Democrats in extending the ACA tax credits that help Americans afford health care coverage. I know many of my colleagues across the aisle agree.
Health care centers across NH are facing a workforce shortage. I’m urging the Department of Education to add graduate nursing to its professional programs list because limiting pathways to education for those pursuing nursing is bad policy and insulting to the life-saving care nurses provide.
If the ACA tax credits expire, America's farmers—who are already facing an affordability crisis from the President's tariffs—will also face higher health care costs. Congress must come together to extend the tax credits to give farmers some real relief. www.npr.org/2025/12/08/n...
