Nothing better than a New Hampshire summer BBQβ€”so thank you to the Nashua and Epping Dems for hosting two great ones this weekend.

Grateful for your energy, your organizing, and your commitment to building a stronger, better future for all Granite Staters.

At Rochester Pride, I saw what makes our state special: people showing up for each other and celebrating progress, love, and equality.

These are New Hampshire values.

Senator Cindy Rosenwald has been a dedicated fighter for New Hampshire, and I'm honored to have her support in this Senate race.

Canada is New Hampshire’s number one trading partner.

But Donald Trump’s reckless tariffs are fraying our relationship and hurting everyone involved, including New Hampshire families and small businesses.

I’ll keep working across the aisle to hold the VA accountable and protect and expand access to the health services veterans need.

We owe every veteran not just our gratitudeβ€”but quality, timely care. That’s what I’m fighting for.

No New Hampshire veteran should be forced to wait weeksβ€”or travel hoursβ€”for the care they’ve earned.

That’s why I introduced the Veterans Full-Service Care and Access Act to deliver a full-service VA hospital to New Hampshire.

Because of Medicare, our parents and grandparents can see a doctor and afford the medications they need.

Because of Medicaid, millions of kids and working families get the care they deserve.

These programs save lives. Let's keep it that way.

Medicare & Medicaid became law 60 years ago today, connecting generations of Americans to health care and ensuring that getting older or getting sick won’t mean going broke.

We have more work to do to improve health care and bring down costsβ€”we must strengthen Medicare & Medicaid for the future.

The so-called Big Beautiful Bill could cut over $500,000 in health care and elder care from the North Country alone. That’s not fiscal responsibility. That’s abandoning our rural communities.

Trump promised to β€œdrain the swamp.” Instead, he’s protecting the rich and powerful.

I can't believe I have to say this.

No one should go hungry in order to fund a tax break for billionaires.

I’m a lifelong Manchester resident, small business owner, and the product of public schools.

I’m running for Senate because I love New Hampshire, and I want to make sure every Granite Stater gets a fair shot.

I’ve taken on corporate special interests to help lower drug prices for seniors and cap the cost of insulin at just $35/month.

I was proud to stand up to Big Pharma, but we’ve got to keep going. I’ll never stop working to lower costs for New Hampshire.

I’m proud to have earned the support of organized labor across New Hampshire, including local @ibewinternational.bsky.social unions representing 8,000 Granite Staters and their families, Teamsters Local 633, and the New Hampshire Building and Construction Trades Council.

Ending the 988 crisis line that serves LGBTQ+ youth is nothing short of cruel.

Everyone counts, including those struggling with mental health issues. That’s why I’m sounding the alarm and calling on the Trump Administration to reverse this dangerous decision.

I’m honored to be endorsed by @dtvpac.bsky.social.

The right to vote in this country is sacred, and it falls on all of us to protect and defend it. I’ll always lead the charge to ensure that our elections are free, fair, and accessible.

The HALT Fentanyl Act, which includes my provision to permanently classify deadly fentanyl-related substances, is now law.

I’ll work with anyone to save lives and address the addiction crisis that is devastating families and communities.

It was great to join the Milford Democrats at their annual cookout.

I’m inspired by everyone who showed up to get organized. I'll continue to show up, to listen, and to always put New Hampshire first.

Donald Trump promised transparency, but Republicans are shutting down Congress to stop the release of the Epstein files.

They don't care about justice. They only care about protecting the powerful and wealthy.

I'm calling on the administration to release the files.

Parents shouldn’t be hit with tariffs on basics like cribs and car seats. I’m working to ease the burden on New Hampshire families and keep costs low.

Last week I got the chance to talk to workers and company leaders at Badger Balm.

Their message is clear: Trump’s tariffs are causing chaos and threatening the livelihoods of local businesses and workers.

The Gorham Community Learning Center provides high-quality child care to the North Country, helping shape the next generation.

Last week I got to check out their new facility, which is being built with the help of federal grants.

New Hampshire's small businesses are feeling the pain of Donald Trump's reckless trade war.

I introduced legislation to protect them by exempting small businesses from these tariffs. But Republicans in Congress are standing in the way.

Promises made, promises broken.

When prices rise while billionaires get richer – it's New Hampshire workers and families who suffer.

Chip in! Show your support with a contribution.

Now that we’ve got your attention, can you chip in $5 or $10 to this grassroots campaign before our mid-month deadline tonight?

The Big Ugly Bill, by the numbers:

Hundreds of dollars more on utility bills...
Thousands of jobs at risk...
Millions kicked off their health care...
Billions in food assistance slashed...
Trillions in new debt...

All for one goal: massive tax cuts for the rich.

As a small business owner myself, I know how much heart and hustle it takes to keep things running.

Grateful to join @amyklobuchar.com and @donovanfentonnh.bsky.social in Keene last week to hear directly from local shop owners about what’s workingβ€”and where Washington can do more to help.

One of the biggest issues I hear from Granite Staters is the rising cost of living.

I’m running for Senate to take on this fight and make our economy work for everyone, not just billionaires.

Massachusetts already has two senators. New Hampshire needs a Senator who puts Granite Staters first.
