As Senator, I will always put the health and safety of New Hampshire's families first.

We want New Hampshire to be a haven for entrepreneurs and inventors - the people who are creating the products and good-paying jobs of the future.

I am disappointed that Senator Ayotte has voted repeatedly for deep cuts in Pell Grants that would make college more expensive for thousands of New Hampshire students and voted against allowing young people to refinance their student loans.

When I visit businesses across New Hampshire, they tell me that their No. 1 need is even more highly skilled workers to fill job openings.

New Hampshire is moving in the right direction because we have shown time and time again that we can work across the aisle to solve problems.

Together, we can build a stronger, more innovative New Hampshire, where our businesses can grow, flourish, and create good jobs for our people.
