Heating oil prices have nearly doubled over the course of Trump’s war with Iran. It’s making it more expensive for Granite Staters to heat their homes. I introduced the American Homes First Act to increase LIHEAP funding by redirecting $1 billion from President Trump’s ‘Board of Peace’ slush fund.

I met with NH small businesses that are hurting because of Congress’s failure to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. They’re worried they won’t be able to keep providing health insurance to their employees. I’m fighting to lower health care costs for families, seniors, and small businesses.

Edgar Austin of Rollinsford courageously served in the U.S. Army during WWII. When his family realized his medals were missing, they reached out to my office for help. We were able to get his Bronze Star Medal and Purple Heart returned to his daughter, Beverly Hanson of Barrington.

As Granite Staters facing high energy prices, NH Community Action agencies are seeing more people reach out for heating assistance. We must be taking every action to lower costs and provide relief. I'm working to increase federal support for heating assistance & expand eligibility to more families.

NH households could pay $2,300 for home heating oil this winter–a 31% increase–because of President Trump’s war with Iran. While I continue fighting to stop this war, I’ve also introduced bills to provide immediate relief and lower energy costs, including the Consumer Fuel Prices Relief Act.

The 988 LGBTQ+ Youth lifeline is proven to save LGBTQ+ children’s lives. It was a cruel move by the Trump administration to cut this service. But we fought back, and we won. To anyone struggling, you are never alone. Call or text 9-8-8 for help.

James, a veteran from NH, had to come out of retirement because he couldn’t make ends meet. Granite Staters are seeing their energy bills more than double and have spent an extra thousand dollars at the pump and filling their fuel tanks because of President Trump's war. People need relief now.
