I have had credible threats against me. I have never had four to eight people on my detail 24 hours per day.

The President's budget request for the Justice Department is abysmal.

If there are legal changes in policy that need to be made, I hope you will share that with us.

I applaud your appointment of Robert Mueller as the Special Counsel to oversee the ongoing investigation into Russian interference during the 2016 election.

I mean, that is 18 communities in my state that I would rather protect.

I am definitely concerned about flooding, and I am particularly concerned about the budget cuts that are coming down from the White House.

We have had loss of life from floods. We have had tremendous damage to property. We have had whole towns washed away.

We do not have even an outline of that bill for us to be able to examine ourselves.

I hear about it from Granite Staters all the time.

I hope you will use your clout with the Appropriations Committee to get the funding we need.

I mean, this is serious and we need to take care of this. And meanwhile the budget that comes forward is cut. I don't understand how we are going to protect our constituents.

If Trumpcare passes, a whole lot of our constituents may not have a plan to begin with.

If we have bipartisan support on this Committee that we support these projects and want to go forward, how many communities are going to be put at risk when your funding is cut or you don't have sufficient funding?

I am proud that, during my time as Governor, Republicans and Democrats in New Hampshire put our differences aside and came together to pass and reauthorize our State's bipartisan Medicaid expansion plan.

I am obviously concerned that the Republican bill that passed out of the House in May would fundamentally change the Medicaid program as we know it.

Ultimately this addiction is a disease. It is caused by a chemical reaction in the brain.

I am going to continue to work with my colleagues on solutions, while standing firm against any policy that will pull us backwards.

What we cannot do, however, is end Medicaid expansion and institute deep and irresponsible cuts to the traditional Medicaid program.
