During #NationalSchoolBreakfastWeek, students should be focused on learning. But for too many, that task is made harder without breakfast to power their growing minds. I'll keep working to support school breakfast programs across the country.
Year after year, visitors flock to New Hampshire to view and experience the outdoor spaces and wildlife that are integral to our state's identity and economy.
We have a duty to protect and preserve these spaces for current and future generations.🫎

March is Women's History Month!
This month we celebrate the contributions and accomplishments of trailblazing women throughout history and today, and commit to continuing the march toward a prosperous and free future for women and girls in the U.S. and around the globe.
The shipbuilding workforce at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is critical to maintaining the attack submarines that promote our national security.
The last thing the Trump Administration should be doing is interfering with their recruitment efforts.
Access to affordable child care is essential to a healthy economy.
It's unacceptable that so many of our working families in the Granite State can't find child care they can afford.
We've got to do better.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development is the latest target of Trump and Musk's inflationary cuts while states like New Hampshire already face a housing crisis. Voters elected Donald Trump to lower the costs of housing and rent. These cuts will have the opposite effect.
Gutting Medicaid would be catastrophic for the families, women and children who rely on this program—it’s not just a line item on a budget.
We should be focused on lowering health care costs for Americans not slashing programs that make it more affordable.

Senate Republicans just voted to roll back a commonsense fee on venting or flaring of methane—a vote that will cost taxpayers nearly $7.5 billion.
They're lighting your money on fire to save Big Oil a few bucks.
So let’s review, if tariffs won't lower costs, why is Trump proposing them?
Well, that’s the little secret the Administration won’t say out loud.
The truth? They’re looking for ways to raise taxes on families all so they can make YOU pay for tax giveaways for billionaires.
From small businesses trying to plan their operations to a housing developer deciding if they can build affordable homes for Granite Staters to a family trying to plan a summer vacation, everyone will have to budget for Trump's tariffs if they go into effect.
You may ask: didn’t Trump get elected to LOWER costs? How do these actions accomplish that?
Well, the straightforward answer is: they don’t.
If you guessed prices would rise, you’re right.
Households can expect to spend an unconscionable $900 to $1,100 more a year on these goods, plus car and drug prices could rise by 8.5% to 10.5%.
🗓️In early April, we’re also hearing there will be a 25% tariff on all automotive, pharmaceutical and semiconductor products. And the impact?
a) Prices would rise.
b) Prices would rise.
c) Prices would rise.
Hint: Semiconductors are in almost all the electronics we use.
Per initial estimates, Trump’s reciprocal tariffs would:
⬆️Raise costs by $2,700 to $3,400 for households per year
⬇️Shrink the economy by $100 billion per year
With the worst price hikes on everyday items like clothing, electronics, energy and drug prices.
🗓️And in early April, we can expect Trump to start putting broad reciprocal tariffs on every country we trade with. You heard right—every country.
If this happens, tariffs would be at their highest level since the Great Depression.
How will that effect you?
For starters, 100,000 jobs across the country would be at risk. Not to mention, raising the cost of new housing construction at a time when we’re facing a nationwide housing affordability crisis.
🗓️Then, the next week, Trump plans to level 25% tariffs on steel and aluminum.
Who uses steel and aluminum?
Think the auto and aerospace industries, as well as construction companies.
Tariffs on Canada and Mexico will spike costs for families everywhere, making it harder to balance their budgets:
➕That’s ~$1,000 more in expenses per year for families
➕$150-$250 more for heating to stay warm each winter
➕Higher prices at the pump and in grocery stores
🗓️First, Trump has promised tariffs on our allies, Canada and Mexico—10% on energy from Canada and 25% on everything else.
Today, he said these will go into effect next Tuesday.
Whether they take effect next week or next month, they've already created panic and uncertainty.
