Rep. Chris Pappas

Today is the 35th Anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. This landmark civil rights law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life and works to ensure they have the same rights and opportunities as their neighbors.…

We all know someone who struggles with their mental health, and LGBTQ+ youth are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide than their peers. I will continue fighting for the administration to restore 988’s subline for LGBTQ+ youth. Everyone deserves to know they have someone in…

There was no reason why these funds should've been delayed - a delay that continued to cause chaos in our communities. I'm glad these funds are being delivered following my repeated calls for the Administration to release them, but this mayhem must stop. washingtonpost.com/education/2025…

Thank you Michelle for sharing your story about how the Republicans’ Big, Ugly Law will have real and devastating consequences for you and so many others’ ability to get the care you need. Their law isn’t just big and ugly. It’s cruel. newhampshirebulletin.com/2025/07/14/con…

It’s ridiculous that House Republicans canceled votes on Thursday because they are scared of voting on the Epstein files. Release the files and let’s get back to work. Despite this, watch my Rewind Video to hear some things I got done this week.

Today in the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee, we will be marking up my bipartisan Veterans’ Transition to Trucking Act. Tune in. ⬇️

"The services a veteran receives should not be dependent on where a veteran chooses to live after military life." - @RepChrisPappas

The Big Ugly Law makes devastating cuts to Medicaid, which our nursing homes and seniors rely on. I talked about how these cuts will harm the Hillsborough County Nursing Home on WMUR. ⬇️

This funding for the New Hampshire Manufacturing Extension Partnership will help our small and medium-sized manufacturers make more in NH and create more good-paying jobs. I’ll always support investments in American innovation and manufacturing. pappas.house.gov/media/press-re…

Part of the education funding that was being unlawfully withheld by the Trump Administration has been released. I’m pushing the administration to follow the law and release the rest for our schools and families. apnews.com/article/educat…

The Big, Ugly Bill, which is now law, makes devastating cuts to Medicaid funding that New Hampshire nursing homes rely on. Without these resources, their services and care are in jeopardy. I joined staff and residents of Hillsborough County Nursing Home today to hear directly…

I’m calling on Transportation Secretary Duffy to stop cuts to critical staff at the Federal Highway Administration who keep our roads, bridges, and tunnels safe, supporting economic growth and public safety. pappas.house.gov/media/press-re…

The so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” is a disaster for Granite Staters. It kicks over 46,000 off their health care coverage. It threatens food assistance to 77,000 NH families. All to give huge tax breaks to billionaires and add $4 trillion to the debt. nhpr.org/nh-news/2025-0…

My Rewind of the week. ⬇️

It was an honor to join the men and women of Coast Guard Station Portsmouth Harbor to mark the change in command. Thank you to Chief Warrant Officer Anthony Kaminski for your service. And to Chief Warrant Officer Patrick Brown, we now stand with you as you assume this command.

Making non-opioid pain management more affordable and accessible to veterans is common sense. I helped introduce this bipartisan legislation that would close the gap on VA’s non-opioid drug coverage to help our veterans stay safe and healthy. pappas.house.gov/media/press-re…

Today I joined my colleagues in continuing to raise the alarm over the Trump Administration shutting down the LGBTQ+ subline of the 988 crisis support hotline. This service was lifesaving. We will continue to call on the administration to right this wrong. Watch my remarks.⬇️

The @USGAO saved taxpayers $67.5 billion last year. House Republicans want to cut its budget in half. I’m calling on them to reverse course because we cannot fight waste, fraud, and abuse by gutting the one agency most responsible for uncovering it. pappas.house.gov/media/press-re…

The HALT Fentanyl Act will ensure law enforcement retains the tools they need to crack down on drug traffickers. I fought to get it signed into law, but we cannot rest here. I remain committed to delivering the resources our communities need to stop traffickers, save lives, and…
