For 60 years now, Head Start has made high-quality early education available for thousands of working families.
With Trump threatening to eliminate this program, we need to push back for the children and families whose lives have been changed for the better thanks to Head Start.

International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is a reminder of our ongoing efforts to ensure justice for LGBTQ+ people at home and abroad.
Discrimination or violence against these communities because of who they love and how they identify is unconscionable.
While Trump scrambles to fix the damage caused by his most extreme tariffs, the reality is that Americans are still facing tariffs that amount to a national sales tax.
We need policies that lower prices and address the cost-of-living crisis. His tariffs are doing the opposite.
The Connecticut River and its watershed are a vibrant part of New England’s landscape. My legislation would create a partnership to protect and preserve this critical environmental and economic resource.

We know the facts: Forever chemicals are not safe in drinking water.
I’ve fought for a decade to get PFAS out of drinking water - now, President Trump is actively trying to allow more PFAS in drinking water for longer, all while dismantling key research and enforcement efforts.
I've been sounding the alarm on our nation's understaffed and overworked air traffic control system for years.
It's time for Congress to invest in comprehensive reform by passing my bipartisan Air Traffic Control Workforce Development Act.
This President’s business dealings—between his crypto coin scheme, his investments in Qatar for a golf course, this plane—raise serious questions.
Is he more committed to the American people or himself, his bank account and his family?
At a time when tariffs and rising prices are squeezing New Hampshire small businesses, it’s especially important to recognize the extraordinary contributions small business owners and entrepreneurs make. It was a pleasure to celebrate their achievements today in Manchester.
House Republicans' budget proposal? Boot 13.7 million Americans from their health insurance to make life easier for billionaires.
It's outrageous – and it's imperative that we reject this "plan" in a bipartisan way.
During #NationalWomensHealthWeek, we have to push back against the Trump Administration's attacks on women's health care.
We should be lowering barriers to care, not raising them.
No matter what, I'm committed to improving access and lowering the cost of women's health care.
65 years ago, in a milestone medical breakthrough, the FDA approved the first birth-control pill.
We should be working to support the next milestone breakthrough. Instead, this administration is dismantling our research institutions and restricting access to reproductive care.
My statement on President Trump’s announcement of a trade deal with the UK:
I think we can all get behind making the federal government work better, but when we do it in a way that allows millions of tons of food and medicine to rot because we’ve cut funding that ensures it gets to the people who need it, that is not efficient and effective.
The popular Energy Star program helps households and businesses SAVE money on their energy bills. Cutting this program wouldn't lower costs for working Americans—it's another rash attempt by the Administration to line the pockets of billionaires and utility companies. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
Cutting 80,000 workers from the VA, threatening the future of Social Security offices and taking a chainsaw to efforts that bolster the U.S.'s global standing isn't efficient—it's destructive, and it's working Americans who will lose access to the programs they rely on.
Proud to introduce the Defense Workforce Integration Act with bipartisan support in both the Senate and House. As our defense workforce faces recruitment and retention challenges for vital roles, we should be doing all we can to fill vacancies that bolster our national security.
New data from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office confirms what we feared: If Congressional Republicans get their way and gut Medicaid, millions of Americans—including children and seniors—will lose their health insurance entirely.
Time to scrap this misguided proposal.
#JewishAmericanHeritageMonth is an opportunity to celebrate the contributions of the vibrant Jewish American communities in New Hampshire and across the nation.
We must also reaffirm our commitment to rooting out hatred and bigotry—antisemitism has no place in America.
Small businesses are the lifeblood of the Granite State’s economy, but it’s getting more costly and difficult for local entrepreneurs to open up shop. Our commonsense legislation would give entrepreneurs a helping hand up so they can succeed and fuel job growth.
Congressional Republicans are looking for $880 billion in federal funding to cut so that they can slash taxes for the wealthiest.
Their #1 target: Medicaid.
Targeting the health care children, disabled folks and those in long-term care depend on, is cruel and out of touch.
