WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) released the following statement today after voting to close debate on a government funding measure in order to allow a vote to keep the federal government open:

Pappas Votes Against Continuing Resolution

Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) released the following statement after voting against the full-year continuing resolution proposed by Speaker Johnson:

As I travel across New Hampshire and hear from constituents, they continue to tell me about the need for Washington to work together and solve problems, including the high cost of living. This measure fails to deliver for our communities. Instead, this bill will hurt hard-working families who would lose housing support, jeopardizes access to veterans’ benefits, and cuts public safety funding for our local police departments, all while giving Elon Musk and the administration unchecked power to gut critical programs and fire the people who serve the American people.”… (Read the full story HERE)

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander released the following statement:

“I came to Congress to work for the people of New Hampshire, and the partisan legislation that House Republicans brought to the floor today is bad for New Hampshire.

“I voted against it because it fails to protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid at a moment when the Trump Administration has put all three on the chopping block. This bill also fails to fund critical community-led investments that would support our firefighters, our veterans, New Hampshire farmers, small businesses, students, and basic infrastructure that is urgently needed in cities and towns across our state. It would slash billions from law enforcement and empower Elon Musk to continue his lawless attacks on the federal programs and workers that hardworking Granite Staters rely on every single day” … (Read the full story HERE)
