Rep. Chris Pappas

These service members are heroes. I join Granite Staters in honoring their service and sacrifice, and my thoughts are with their families. I continue to call for an end to this war and for President Trump to explain to the American people how he plans to keep our military safe and protect our national security.

We owe everything to our veterans, and they deserve access to top of the line health care both during and following their service. I introduced the bipartisan AIR CARE for Vets Act with @RepCiscomani to establish a pilot program for VA to utilize innovative 4-D lung scanning technology to improve identification of respiratory disorders and lung disease in veterans. This pilot program will improve the resources and care available to veterans now and in the years to come. Read more: pappas.house.gov/media/press-re…

This week I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on legislation to block Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund of taxpayer dollars for his political allies and rioters who attacked the Capitol. It’s corruption in broad daylight. Congress must stand up for what is right.

Corruption and insider trading in prediction markets is out of control. The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee began an investigation after my calls, and I will continue to push forward on this.

A few spots left at my Pop-Up Passport Fair tomorrow!

From housing legislation becoming law to events across the district, here’s a quick recap of my work the past couple weeks. ⬇️

Granite Staters are paying too much for life-saving prescription drugs and this administration and Republicans in Congress have only made health care access worse and costs higher. President Trump claims to have made secret agreements with Big Pharma CEOs but these savings have yet to appear. The American people deserve answers and this legislation will bring them to light.

.@ProbSolveCaucus is endorsing my legislation, the BUILD Act, which would provide police and fire departments with needed resources to support our officers and improve public safety. I’ll continue to work alongside our local departments and with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to advocate for the resources our communities need.

Every veteran across New Hampshire should be able to access the care they need close to home. I’m thrilled about this PACT Act lease for a new outpatient clinic for our Granite State veteran community. I’ll always fight for our veterans to receive high-quality care, and to cut the red tape between them and the treatment they deserve. pappas.house.gov/media/press-re…

As New Hampshire is impacted by wildfire smoke from Canada, a smoke advisory has been issued. Please pay attention to advisories and stay safe. wmur.com/article/nh-smo…

Congratulations to the Seafood Engine in New England, led by @NERACOOS, on being a recipient of a @NSF Engines award! This $15 million award will bolster our seafood industry and businesses through cutting-edge technologies, collaboration, and innovation.

Joan Sebastian Guerrero in Maine and Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston were both shot and killed by ICE in the past week. It’s devastating, outrageous, and unsettling. There must be independent investigations and full accountability. Our communities demand it and I will continue to fight for it.

NOW LAW: Legislation with provisions I led and supported to streamline and lower costs for building, increase our affordable housing supply, and stop Wall Street from buying up single-family homes and driving up costs. I’ll keep fighting to tackle New Hampshire’s housing needs.

Diabetes complications are preventable with the right care. This common-sense legislation cuts red tape to ensure Medicaid patients can see the specialists they need. x.com/APMA/status/20…

It’s time to shine a bright light on dark money in our elections. My DISCLOSE Act will do just that. I’m fighting to restore transparency and trust in our elections and our democracy.

THIS WEEK: My next Pop-Up Passport Fair will be at the Portsmouth Community Campus on Saturday, July 18th. To schedule an appointment or learn more ➡️ pappas.house.gov/passport

This week I was glad to join the many partners who helped make The Village on Technology Hill in Londonderry a reality. nhbr.com/envision-techn…

I’m grateful for the work that Archways does to help our neighbors in need and provide them resources and support. I took a tour of their Tilton center this week and spoke with CEO Michelle Lennon and staff about their operations.

For almost a year, this administration’s funding freeze for Planned Parenthood has hurt people’s ability to get preventative health care, including cancer screenings and birth control. While some funding has resumed, this fight is not over. I’m committed to fighting for Granite Staters’ access to the care they deserve and need. apnews.com/article/defund…
