Friends,

It was a busy week bringing the voices and priorities of New Hampshire to Congress as we considered critical legislation for our country.

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

LOWERING COSTS FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

The cost crisis is keeping hardworking Americans from achieving their dreams, and President Trump’s reckless and chaotic trade wars are only making things worse by giving giant corporations more opportunities to rip the American people off.

We can and must do more to bring down costs for you and your family.

That’s why I was proud to introduce the Price Gouging Prevention Act to put an end to corporate price gouging and ensure every Granite Stater is getting a fair deal, whether it’s at the grocery store or the gas pump.

The Price Gouging Prevention Act of 2025 would help the federal government and state attorneys general fight against corporate price gouging.

Learn more about how this legislation will lower costs for you and your family by going after corporate greed here.

DOING RIGHT BY OUR VETERANS AND SERVICEMEMBERS

I am proud to introduce the Military Learning for Credit Act to help more veterans translate their military training and experience into college credits.

My dad always said he got his education from the United States Navy. I think about his words often, especially as I represent New Hampshire on the House Armed Services Committee.

Our veterans go through intensive training during their service to our country, and they should be able to benefit from that experience if they apply to college. I introduced the Military Learning for Credit Act to make sure they can do just that.

Learn more about this legislation from NBC5 here.

This commonsense, bipartisan legislation will fix an existing gap, expand opportunities, and deliver for our veterans.

To all the women who serve in our Armed Forces: thank you.

Women in our Armed Forces make America safer and our military stronger. But far too often, the stories of these American heroes have been erased.

I was proud to help bring together a group of veterans, creators, and historians for an impactful discussion about the past, present, and future imperative of American women in America’s Armed Forces.

It was wonderful to have Denise, a veteran from Nashua, join the conversation.

Women’s voices and contributions make a real difference in the mission of our military, and I will continue fighting to ensure they are heard in Congress.

ADDRESSING THE LONG-TERM HEALTH IMPACTS OF SERVICE FOR OUR AVIATORS

It’s the honor of my life to advocate for our servicemembers in Congress and on the House Armed Services Committee.

We owe a sacred obligation to the women and men who serve our country in uniform. That includes fully understanding the health risks our aviators face while protecting our country.

The House of Representatives passed the Aviator Cancers Examination Study (ACES) Act, bipartisan legislation I am proud to help lead, which would ensure we understand the cause and scope of service-related cancers and would give our aviators the best possible protections and care.

Learn more about the ACES Act here.

SUPPORTING RURAL SMALL BUSINESSES

As a member of the House Small Business Committee, I am proud to bring the voices and priorities of New Hampshire’s small businesses to Congress.

It was great to be in Loudon with the NH Farm Bureau to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of Osborne’s Farm & Garden Centers.

I helped introduce the Office of Rural Affairs Enhancement Act, bipartisan legislation to expand the resources available for rural small businesses by strengthening the scope of the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) Office of Rural Affairs, an office dedicated to helping rural small businesses, like we have here in New Hampshire, thrive.

Watch my full remarks advocating for the Office of Rural Affairs Enhancement Act here.

Small businesses are the backbone of New Hampshire’s economy and our communities – that is especially true in rural areas. This legislation says to our rural small businesses: we see you, we hear you, and we are fighting for you.

RESTORING YOUR REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM

As a daughter of the Live Free or Die state, I know women in America cannot live freely without full control of our bodies and full access to reproductive and maternal health care.

After the Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs, I helped the Justice Department launch the first-ever Reproductive Rights Task Force to protect reproductive freedom under federal law. Now, as your representative in the People’s House, I am fighting to restore your reproductive freedom. That’s why I was proud to help introduce the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Act.

I am fighting with everything I’ve got to restore reproductive freedom and expand access to reliable, affordable health care for all Granite Staters.

This bold legislation will guarantee women in New Hampshire and across the country can access the reproductive healthcare they need, regardless of how they get their health insurance.

DELIVERING FOR SWANZEY

Sometimes in governing, fixing the seemingly small issues can make the biggest difference.

I was proud to help pass common-sense legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives to get this done and deliver for Swanzey. Learn more from NBC 5 here.

This week, the House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation to require the United States Postal Service (USPS) to designate an individual ZIP code for Swanzey, NH, and deliver a commonsense solution to a long-standing problem.

Even though North Swanzey is a fully incorporated part of the town of Swanzey, it shares its ZIP code with Keene, causing confusion for emergency services, delays in mail, and more. It’s past time that the residents of Swanzey, New Hampshire, had their own zip code to simplify mail delivery, streamline response times for EMS, and cut down on needless confusion.

Learn more about my work to secure an individual zip code for Swanzey here, and read more about this legislation in the Keene Sentinel here.
