Small businesses are hurting due to President Trump’s tariffs. They need Congress to act now.

That’s why I’m introducing the Small Business RELIEF Act, which would exempt small businesses from the Trump tariff tax and refund any tariffs they've paid.

Swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag are hate symbols. Full stop.

The U.S. Coast Guard should never have even considered re-classifying these symbols as “potentially divisive.” I’m demanding more answers.

In a time of rising antisemitism and racial violence across the nation, we must forcefully take a stand against emblems that incite hate and violence.

The Coast Guard should never have even considered changing the classification of swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

DOD quietly revised its PFAS cleanup schedule, delaying work at hundreds of sites, including in New Hampshire.

Home heating costs are expected to rise even faster than inflation this winter. Families should not have to choose between staying warm and other essentials like food or rent.

It’s extremely concerning that the U.S. Coast Guard was ever considering classifying swastikas, nooses, and the Confederate flag as “potentially divisive” instead of as the clear antisemitic and racial hate symbols they are.

This administration’s Medicaid cuts are closing health care centers in New Hampshire and across the country.

This threatens Granite Staters’ access to care, forcing them to travel farther, wait longer, and leaving them worse off.

My bipartisan Dark Web Interdiction Act aims to target the use of the dark web to procure and ship deadly drugs.

New Hampshire’s lack of a full-service VA hospital means our veterans may not have access to, or may need to travel long distances for, essential care.

VA should publicly release their action plan so that we can hear from New Hampshire veterans in this process.
