Net neutrality and the importance of maintaining an open internet is very important as we think about innovation and creativity that's going on with our small businesses.

Unfortunately, the protections that have ensured net neutrality are now at risk because of decisions by the Federal Communications Commission last year that voted along party lines to repeal net neutrality rules.

But if they can do it through their tele-health, they're able to make it available to all of the veterans who come in.

At this time I would like to officially open the Small Business Committee's field hearing in Durham to explore the impact of net neutrality on New Hampshire's small businesses.

I'm pleased that we'll have it as part of the record of the Small Business Committee and look forward to working to address both what the FCC has done and to think about how we can do bipartisan legislation that will really provide some…

It seems to me that this goes in the wrong direction, that instead of opening things up to provide more innovation and more access, what we're talking about is closing things in a way that reduces access, reduces innovation, and that's not…

So it's possible in the near future that the Senate will consider a bipartisan Congressional Review Act resolution to rescind the FCC's order ending net neutrality.

During the week of Monday, April 23, 2018, I missed rollcall votes 148-166. Had I been present for these recorded votes, I would have voted as listed below: Rollcall Vote 148: ``aye,'' rollcall Vote 149: ``aye,'' rollcall Vote 150…

I am pleased, though, that a Federal court just last month ordered the Trump administration to stop blocking young immigrant women in Federal custody from getting abortions.

As a former Governor, that is really concerning to me.
