Pleased to meet with the Women’s Procurement Circle, a group of women-owned small business federal contractors this week.

I’m committed to ensuring that women-owned small businesses have the resources they need, especially when dealing with federal procurement and contracting.

.U.S. Postal Service’s terrible decision to leave New Hampshire without a processing and distribution center (P&DC) threatens the reliability of service and local jobs.

I’ve introduced a bipartisan bill to prohibit closures or consolidations of a state’s only P&DC.

This week I was glad to join ATA Women In Motion to discuss efforts to uplift women in the trucking industry, ensure a safe and productive workplace, and eliminate barriers to entry.

I’ll keep working to support a robust, competitive, safe trucking industry.

No industry should be given a free pass to poison our water.

Today’s announcement is an important step to hold polluters accountable, protect our communities' health and well-being, and address PFAS contamination.

I continue to call for the renewal of the Affordable Connectivity Program to protect New Hampshire families’ access to high-speed internet.

With funding running out this month, I’m joining my New Democrat Coalition (NDC) colleagues in calling to extend this critical program.

‘Forever chemicals’ remain one of the most pressing environmental and public health issues of our time.

My bipartisan bill will take action to hold polluters accountable, establish limits for PFAS, and support communities with contaminated water.

Glad that these bills advanced out of the House Small Business Committee today to ensure resources at SBA are accessible and reaching every entrepreneur and small business.

Grateful for the opportunity to join SBA_NH’s veteran-owned small business event earlier this week in Manchester.

As a member of both the Small Business and Veterans’ Affairs Committees, I am committed to ensuring that we support veteran entrepreneurs every step of the way.

This week I introduced the bipartisan Rural Small Business Resilience Act.

Rural small businesses face unique challenges, and SBA should tailor outreach efforts to rural businesses and ensure their full access to SBA disaster assistance.

Veterans and their families should never face prolonged financial stress from administrative errors at VA.

That’s why I helped introduce a bipartisan bill to reform VA’s processes for providing quick relief to those wrongly penalized.

This decision establishes enforceable PFAS regulations for drinking water as well as designates funding to help communities combat PFAS pollution.

I’ll keep working to protect people and our environment from toxic ‘forever chemicals’.
