Granite Staters have made it clear time and again – we do not support a sales tax.
House Republicans’ plan to implement a 30% national sales tax is a disaster. I will fight against this out-of-touch proposal and stand up for New Hampshire.

Today, I announced that the United States will send 31 Abrams tanks to Ukraine – evidence of our enduring and unflagging commitment to Ukraine and our confidence in the skill of Ukrainian forces.
As I told President Zelenskyy, we're with Ukraine for as long as it takes.

This World Cup final is why we watch sports. Wow
Judy Reardon was a determined, treasured friend and advisor who insisted that those of us in public life act with integrity and purpose.
Tom and I send our deepest condolences to her sister Patty, her brother-in-law Rik, and to the many friends that she leaves behind.

A national data dashboard of non-fatal opioid overdoses was announced this month.
A non-fatal overdose can be a leading predictor for a future, potentially fatal overdose. This data is a welcome step to help first responders get resources to the right places and help save lives.

Our defense bill comes at a critical time — and will help keep our country safe, secure, and free.
The NDAA includes bipartisan priorities that I fought for, such as:
- continuing to stand up to Putin
- cracking down on drug traffickers
- protecting Granite Staters from PFAS

NEW: My bill to help protect fire fighters from PFAS exposure is headed to the President’s desk.
Fire fighters wake up every day with a mission to protect us – and they shouldn’t face the dangers of PFAS.
Time to get this bipartisan bill across the finish line.

A powerful moment today: I stopped by the Kyiv to Capitol exhibit that showed on-the-ground testimonies and photographs of the resiliency of the Ukrainian people and the atrocities of Putin’s war.
We will keep standing with Ukrainians as they fight for their freedoms. 🇺🇦

Love should never carry stigma nor shame.
Today, we voted to enshrine marriage equality into law and to protect the freedom to marry.
I hope this sends a resounding message to our youngest Americans: love is celebrated in a democracy.

New Hampshire is the best place to start a business.
It’s time to celebrate our state’s innovators and entrepreneurs - and discuss the future of innovation in our state with business and community leaders.

The holiday season is about giving thanks - and giving back. The Families in Transition breakfast reflects that spirit.
I'm grateful for their essential work to help those experiencing homelessness, and I’ll keep working with them to support vulnerable families in our state.

Year after year across New Hampshire, volunteers are working to make sure that everyone in their community has a Thanksgiving meal to put on the table.
The food pantry in Madison is a prime example.

Freedoms are the foundation of the American Dream.
A woman’s freedom to make her own health care choices.
A couple’s freedom to marry without interference.
Every American’s freedom to chart their own destiny.
I’ll always be steadfast in defending them.
