Heartbroken to hear of Lt. Aaron “Coop” Cooper’s passing. He served Keene with strength and compassion, and even after his cancer diagnosis, he continued to lead—helping launch Project Mayday to support firefighter health. His impact won’t be forgotten. keenesentinel.com/news/local/kee…
Yesterday we celebrated Emmeline’s first birthday surrounded by friends and family. She’s the sweetest little soul — patient, curious, and already keeping up with her two wild older brothers. I’m one lucky dad standing here with a baby in my arms and chaos all around. Wouldn’t…
The Governor can spin this all she wants—but responsible budgeting means planning for uncertainty, not fantasy. I’m not going to gamble with NH’s future just to make her numbers look good. I’ll take realism over politics every time. #nhpolitics
Gov. @KellyAyotte says she disagrees with the revenue projections approved by @TheNHSenate Ways & Means Committee this morning, arguing that they are too low (the committee came in about halfway between the Gov on the high end & House on the low end) #NHPolitics #WMUR
Child hunger is rising in the Monadnock Region — and the need is outpacing the resources. I introduced SB 204 to expand access to school meals, but it was blocked. This is a crisis we can fix — if we choose to. Let’s do better. #NHPolitics #EndChildHunger…
Riverbend is closing its mental health housing facility in Concord due to lack of state funding. I introduced a bill to help, but there was no money in the budget for housing—none for those who need it most. Everyone marginalized by this system will suffer. And things will only…
It was a true community gathering—family-friendly, and full of thoughtful conversations about what happened this year in the NH Senate. Folks from across the political spectrum showed up to talk about the issues that matter. Grateful to everyone who came out! #nhpolitics
Great having @amyklobuchar in New Hampshire this weekend to help us rally behind @ChrisPappasNH in his Senate campaign! 🇺🇸 #NHPolitics
As a proud graduate of New Hampshire public schools, I know firsthand how vital they are to our communities. The Supreme Court reaffirmed what we’ve said all along: the state has a responsibility to fund public education fairly. It’s time we step up and get it done. #NHPolitics
The NH Supreme Court issued a huge ruling in the ConVal lawsuit, upholding the decision that the State’s base adequacy aid is unconstitutionally low and doesn't provide enough funding for schools to provide students with an adequate education. Read more: fairfundingnh.org/nh-supreme-cou…
Spent the weekend walking in the Walpole Old Home Days parade and celebrating 150 years of the Monadnock Humane Society. Grateful for traditions, community, and the people (and pets!) who make this place home. #nhpolitics
Trump says he’d end all trade talks with Canada. That’s reckless. Canada is NH’s top trading partner—thousands of Granite State jobs depend on it. As a member of the NH–Canada Trade Council, I’ll always fight to protect our economic ties and working families. #nhpolitics
TRUMP: U.S. ENDING ALL TRADE TALKS WITH CANADA
I fully support giving our first responders the benefits they deserve—long overdue. But this budget? It’s awful. ❌ No housing or childcare ❌ Cuts to the university system ❌ Nothing for working families ❌ Packed with bad policy The GOP controls everything—and still can’t…
Having indicated she would veto the Legislature's version of the FY 2026-2027 state budget, N.H. Governor @KellyAyotte says she will call for a special session if budget legislation doesn't become law by EOD on Thursday, 6/26. #nhgov #nhpolitics
Just wrapped up a fantastic training with our new county chairs and the @NHDems —so much energy, dedication, and drive to win. The excitement in the room was contagious. The road to victory starts here! 💪🗳️ #NHPolitics
Honoring #Juneteenth — a day to reflect on our history and recommit to the fight for justice and equality. #NHPolitics #FreedomDay
The targeted shooting of Minnesota elected officials is horrifying and unacceptable. No one should fear for their life because they chose to serve their community. My heart is with their families and the people of Minnesota. We must reject political violence in all forms.…
Happy #603Day! Proud to call the Granite State home—where community comes first, our towns punch above their weight, and we look out for one another. Let’s keep building a New Hampshire that works for everyone.
Today, we remember the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice is the foundation of our freedom, and we are forever in their debt. #MemorialDay
Without comment, @KellyAyotte signs HB 551, the liability immunity for SIG Sauer to quell more lawsuits over its P320 Pistol. Not a profile in transparency. Since it emerged May 8 as a floor amendment, this went from Senate, House to Gov with ZERO public hearing. #nhpolitics
Congrats to the Keene State Class of 2025! We’re proud of you—and hope you’ll stick around to help shape New Hampshire’s future. Go Owls! #KeeneState #Classof2025
As someone born and raised Catholic, I’m filled with hope and gratitude as we welcome our new Pope. A new chapter begins for the Church—one rooted in compassion, justice, and faith.
"God has called me by your election to succeed the Prince of the Apostles, and has entrusted this treasure to me so that, with his help, I may be its faithful administrator..." Pope Leo XIV in his first homily with Cardinals in the Sistine Chapel
Thanks to the Hillsborough County Dems for an incredible Grassroots Awards Dinner! The energy in that room made one thing clear: if we stay organized, stay focused, and support one another—we can win. Let’s get to work. #NHPolitics #GrassrootsPower
