The Air Force has failed to work with New Hampshire officials to clean up PFAS contamination it caused, which is affecting two municipal drinking water wells in Portsmouth.
We’re pressing the Air Force to work with and provide the necessary funds to Portsmouth because NH families should not have to wonder whether their drinking water is safe.

Big Tech and data center developers should be paying their fair share in taxes, and they shouldn’t be receiving huge tax breaks footed by the American people that raise costs for the rest of us.
I helped introduce the Reverse Big Ugly Tax Breaks for Data Centers Act to end tax giveaways for data centers.

Rhetoric calling for political assassination has no place in New Hampshire or our country — something we should all be able to agree on regardless of our political beliefs. We work out our differences through the democratic process where we engage in civil debate and seek common ground whenever possible.
I urge New Hampshire leaders to condemn the threats and call on social media platforms to enforce terms of use. Our citizen-led government is a model for the nation, and we must ensure everyone can engage in democracy without fear of intimidation or violence.

President Trump’s reckless Iran war has cost the American people over $40 billion and counting according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
This is money that could have gone to health care, housing, and more to make life better for Granite Staters. Instead, it's funding the President's war of choice that continues to substantially raise costs.

BILL FROM NEW CASTLE: "I am a Service Officer with the Portsmouth VFW Post. I help veterans and their dependents obtain their benefits. Some months ago, I helped a vet who had a case that would be difficult to prove because his records would likely have been destroyed. I advised him to contact Congressman Pappas's office... I am convinced that the reason his records did appear was because of his interest in his case."

PASSED THE HOUSE: The bipartisan Combating Illicit Xylazine Act
Drug dealers are cutting deadly drugs with the legal animal tranquilizer xylazine, increasing life-threatening impacts. This bipartisan legislation that I co-lead would track the manufacture of xylazine and ensure law enforcement has the resources needed to crack down on illegal drug traffickers.

Data centers and other large-load consumers should pay their own way and not be given a free pass to hike electric rates or other utility costs in our communities.
That’s why I voted to pass the Ratepayer Protection Act to stop data center utility usage from impacting ratepayers and ease the financial burden on families right now.
