I simply do not think we should be balancing the budget on the backs of rural Americans who need access to aviation services.

Without this critical funding source, these passengers would be left with less options, higher ticket prices, and lengthy commutes to other airports.

We have been presented with a budget blueprint by the Administration that causes a lot of constituents in my small state of New Hampshire concern.

you can't expect one private sector firm to counter the Russian government's effort to influence our elections.

I expressed last week in a Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing that I'm concerned about the creative nature of these drug cartels.

Can you commit that if confirmed as Secretary of Labor, you will advocate for and seek funding that will maintain OSHA's enforcement budget at no less than current levels?

if you build a wall along the southern border, while making major cuts to the Coast Guard, you're just incentivizing cartels to smuggle in more drugs in other ways.

There needs to be a hard conversation about when the government is going to defend a firm like that in New Hampshire.
