Introducing @DonovanFentonNH's Save Our Mom and Pop Shops Act! In the wake of relentless tariffs, our small businesses are in desperate need of relief. A BPT tax credit will help these pillars of our communities continue to provide the jobs and services our state needs.

This is a winning strategy to make college affordable and to build the workforce. It would be a huge boost for NH students. #NHPolitics @NHSenateDems @NHDems
As our economy rapidly changes, young people need pathways to opportunity that won’t burden them with debt. I introduced a bill to expand early college programs, allowing more students to earn college credit while in high school & helping families save money on college costs.

This run-away $50M/year program benefits ultra wealthy families, but meanwhile we can’t treat serious obesity? Why isn’t health more of a priority than paying for private school? @NHSenateDems #NHPolitics
4,745 students joined the EFA program this school year, and only 7% of them were in public schools at the end of last school year. Only 19% of participating students come from low-income families. https://t.co/XEo5wD5kTR

With premiums set to double in a matter of weeks, Congress must extend this lifeline for working families. That’s exactly what this bill would do by providing the certainty of the ACA tax credits for another three years.

I signed onto a discharge petition that will force a vote on banning congressional stock trading. This long-overdue reform shouldn’t be controversial.

When I introduced Baby Bonds in 2018, the idea of giving every American born $1,000 was hard to imagine. I’m thrilled to finally see both parties and the private sector ready to take action and ensure the next generation of Americans can build wealth.

I'm excited for this new initiative for families, philanthropists, and the business community to invest in our country's future – our kids. Like my Baby Bonds plan, these accounts will give every child startup capital to build wealth, for education, their first home, a business,
In an unprecedented philanthropic gift, Michael and Susan Dell will give 25 million American children $250 each to jumpstart an investment account for their futures

Small businesses are hurting due to President Trump’s tariffs. They need Congress to act now. That’s why I’m introducing the Small Business RELIEF Act, which would exempt small businesses from the Trump tariff tax and refund any tariffs they've paid. ➡️ https://t.co/hRX51V8p1M

Checking in with Santa and the Missus about affordability. Supply chain to the North Pole, Elf wage increases, reindeer feed, ice, and a patchwork of tariffs won’t stop rooftop deliveries. Santa sleighs! @NHSenateDems

This is a ten-county campaign because I’m running to be a senator for every Granite Stater. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican, or independent, I’ll listen to you and fight for you.

Republican cuts to Medicaid are affecting people’s access to health care, and rural communities are bearing the brunt of it. I’ll continue fighting to reverse their devastating cuts so that every Granite Stater can get the care they need when they need it.

Medicaid cuts are being blamed for the closure of a community health center in New Hampshire's White Mountains.

We have failed a generation by letting college tuition skyrocket & saddling them with lifetime debt. I had over $100k in debt after my education. We need to make public college free & have 1000 new trade schools.
