For Granite Staters, basic necessities—housing, food, electricity and health care—are too expensive. We need to advance policies that lower costs, like investing in clean energy and extending the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax Credits, but President Trump is focused on doing the opposite.
President Trump's misguided move to impose sweeping tariffs on more than 90 countries will raise prices on everyday goods like food, clothing and housing, at a time when many families are already struggling with high costs. My full statement ⬇️
With insurers now set to hike premiums in every state across this country, and with Republican cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act becoming law last month, it is clear now more than ever that Congress must prioritize lowering health care costs before it’s too late.
ACA Marketplace Plans nationally are seeking a median 18% premium increase for 2026. For proposed rate changes by state and insurer, read the analysis: on.kff.org/4m3EwQy
KFF bar chart showing the distribution of proposed 2026 rate increases among 312 ACA Marketplace insurers in 50 states and D.C. The chart shows that the median proposed increase is about 18%.
The impacts of President Trump’s “Big Beautiful Betrayal” on hunger are going to be far-reaching. While millions of Americans lose access to food assistance, grocery stores in rural areas could be forced to shut their doors, imperiling access to food for entire communities.
If ACA premium tax credits expire, it would be a disaster for working families who are already being squeezed by high prices. Health coverage costs would skyrocket for 20 million Americans, and millions more would lose coverage altogether. We must act before it's too late.
I’m leading a new bipartisan bill to exempt America’s four public shipyards, like Portsmouth, from recent hiring freezes and mass layoffs. Our shipyard workforce is an essential part of our national defense – they should have never been subjected to such chaos and uncertainty.
Let's be clear: President Trump's "trade deals" are not a win for America. Tariffs—taxes paid for by Americans—remain higher than they were at the start of this senseless trade war, and it will cost working families more than $2,000 a year as a result.
We should support domestic manufacturing, but the reality is that President Trump’s tariffs are doing the exact opposite. We’ve lost manufacturing jobs every month since he announced global tariffs in April, totaling 37,000 lost jobs in this critical sector.
Good news: The Senate unanimously passed my bipartisan resolution to designate Thursday, August 21 as National Fentanyl Prevention and Awareness Day. It's important that we continue to draw attention to this crisis as we work on solutions that will save lives.
Last night President Trump confirmed that Americans will be facing the highest tariffs since the Great Depression thanks to his reckless and chaotic trade war. Make no mistake: American workers and businesses are going to pay the price. www.shaheen.senate.gov/news/press/s...
Here’s the story of Trump’s economy as his tariffs begin to take effect: costs and inflation are up, job opportunities are down. President Trump promised to lower prices, but thanks to his policies it's becoming even more difficult for Americans to get by.
U.S. employment barely budged in July, while prior job gains were revised to be much weaker than initially thought. It's the first major indicator to point to danger ahead for the U.S. economy.
More than half of the civilian employees at Pease are emergency personnel and air traffic controllers. Proposed cuts could devastate the important role they play in supporting emergency services in the region, including at Portsmouth International Airport.
Prices are already too high. That's why Granite Staters and every business I visit are concerned about President Trump's tariffs.   No matter what happens with the administration's supposed trade "deals," the uncertainty is already causing pain for American families.
When small businesses thrive, local and state economies all benefit. That's why I've introduced a bill that would help American small businesses weather President Trump's chaotic trade war by exempting them from the sweeping tariffs imposed on Canadian products. www.wmur.com/article/shah...
Greenhouse gases threaten public health and welfare. We’re seeing more devastating floods, expansion of tickborne diseases and increasingly catastrophic wildfires. If this Administration succeeds, our air will be dirtier and natural disasters will be more common and more costly.
For Granite Staters like Jen, Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits are a lifeline and life-saving.      Without them, Jen wouldn't have been able to afford her chemotherapy treatments after she lost her job and health coverage.      We can't let these tax credits expire.
Secretary Bessent is saying the quiet part out loud by admitting that the Trump admin is seeking a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security." They're already ripping health care away from millions on Medicaid and now they've made it clear that your social security is next.
Trump's Treasury Secretary says the Trump Accounts created by the budget bill are a "backdoor for privatizing Social Security"
If Affordable Care Act enhanced premium tax credits expire, 4 million Americans will lose their health care and 20 million more will see costs skyrocket at a time when prices are already high.       The clock is ticking. We need to take action now to extend these credits.
