June 8, 2025

Friends,

It was another busy week — I wanted to give you an update on my work and how I am bringing your voices to Congress.

For real-time updates on my work fighting for you, I hope you’ll follow me on Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Bluesky, Twitter, and YouTube.

CALLING FOR TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN OUR ARMED FORCES

I have long advocated for a clean audit of the Pentagon – it’s essential for our military readiness and the public trust of our Armed Forces. 

Watch my exchange with Army Secretary Driscoll about a clean audit of the Army here.

This week in the House Armed Services Committee, I brought the question directly to Army Secretary Driscoll: When will the United States Army pass a clean audit?

Watch my exchange with Air Force Secretary Meink about a clean audit of the Air Force here.

I also brought the question directly to Air Force Secretary Meink: When will the United States Air Force pass a clean audit?

It’s past time that our Armed Forces passed a clean audit, and I will keep pushing for this simple but essential requirement in Congress.

This week, I also questioned Army and Air Force leadership about Right to Repair guarantees for our military. 

Watch my line of questioning to leadership at the Army and the Air Force about ensuring the right to repair equipment here.

The fact that obscure clauses in government contracts are preventing our military from repairing our own equipment is an absolute outrage.

That’s why this week in the House Armed Services Committee, I questioned the leaders of our Army and Air Force about how we can work together to protect the basic right to repair and crack down on corporate abuses of power that are wasting your taxpayer dollars and undermining America’s military readiness.

FIGHTING FOR A FAIR DEAL FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE SMALL BUSINESSES AND WORKERS

In Congress, I am proud to bring the voices and priorities of New Hampshire’s small businesses to the Committee on Small Business. 

Watch my questions for Administrator Loeffler about the impact of Medicaid cuts on small businesses here. 

This week, I questioned SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler about the impact that Republicans’ Big, Bad Budget Bill, which makes the biggest cuts to health care in American history, would have on our small businesses and workforce. In a word, these cuts would be devastating for our communities, including our small businesses.

Watch my questions for Administrator Loeffler about how President Trump’s trade wars are hurting New Hampshire's small businesses here.

I also questioned Administrator Loeffler about how President Trump’s lawless trade wars are jacking up costs and fueling uncertainty for New Hampshire’s small businesses, and why she opposes exemptions to protect our small businesses from this chaos.

I signed a petition to put an end to President Trump’s extremely chaotic, unlawful, and costly trade wars. Learn more here.

It’s past time for Congress to do its job and check President Trump’s chaotic, unlawful, and costly trade wars. Hardworking people are paying the price for his tariffs. That’s why I’m fighting on the House Floor to restore sanity to tariff policy and lower costs.

Small businesses are the beating heart of New Hampshire’s economy. And, this week, the House of Representatives made some important progress to support them by passing six pieces of bipartisan legislation I helped lead. 

It’s the honor of my life to bring New Hampshire’s priorities to Congress.

I will never stop fighting to deliver common-sense, bipartisan legislation to empower and support New Hampshire’s small businesses and employees.

Learn more about this legislation passed by the House here.

Before I was elected to represent the people of New Hampshire in Congress, I served in the antitrust division of the Department of Justice. Now, as I meet with hardworking people across our state, I am seeing a lot of the most pernicious practices I went after at the Justice Department playing out in real time. 

Watch my line of questioning about holding private equity companies accountable here.

On the House Small Business Committee, I’m working to ensure accountability for private entities gobbling up some of the most important institutions in the lives of our communities. 

DEFENDING AMERICORPS IN NEW HAMPSHIRE

This week, I joined Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Senator Maggie Hassan to hear from AmeriCorps members and leaders from across New Hampshire to discuss how we’re working together and using every tool – including tireless advocacy, litigation, and legislation – to defend AmeriCorps today and for generations to come. 

The positive impact of AmeriCorps programs on New Hampshire is real and tangible.

For decades, Republicans and Democrats have supported and defended AmeriCorps because this truly American program gets important things done for the people of New Hampshire — from our public schools to our public parks to the homes of seniors across our state who rely on AmeriCorps as a lifeline. 

Proud to stand with local and federal partners to protect these life-changing programs.

The returns on investment are real: every $1 that Congress invests in AmeriCorps generates more than $30 in returns to communities across New Hampshire. AmeriCorps changes lives for the better. And its spirit of volunteerism is core to who we are as a state and as a nation.

We had some good news this week when a federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump Administration’s wholesale dismantling of AmeriCorps. We will not give up this fight.

ADVOCATING FOR WOMEN IN THE SERVICE

Watch my remarks about the important role of women in our Armed Forces here.

Since 1775, women have served, fought, and died for the United States of America. Today, women make America’s Armed Forces stronger every single day.

But women in service are facing renewed challenges and opposition.

This week, I was proud to stand with my fellow women veterans and the Women in the Service Coalition, Inc., to send a clear message to President Trump and Pete Hegseth: women in service make our country safer and have strong partners and advocates in Congress.

PREPARING GRANITE STATERS FOR THE NEW GENERATION OF JOBS

Read more about this legislation here.

Ensuring that the people of New Hampshire’s workforce are fully equipped with the digital skills they need to thrive in America’s digital economy is a top priority that has strong bipartisan support in Congress.

That’s why I am proud to be leading the Investing in Digital Skills Act, bipartisan legislation that will allow the federal dollars that we invest every year in adult education and workforce development to be put towards the digital skills training that Granite Staters want and need.
