Maggie Hassan

The United States is currently facing a serious STEM challenge.

I led two letters last year to the President urging action on this vacancy because of the critical importance of this position.

There is a critical need to better understand and address any potential adverse health effects the contaminants may have on our communities.

I hope the Senate will act soon on this.

Since that time, I have been really pleased to work with Chairman Alexander, with Ranking Member Murray, and Senator Young to introduce the Advancing Cutting Edge, ACE, Research Act to give the N.I.H. the flexibility it needs to quickly…

I also appreciate very much the work the N.I.H. is doing on the HEAL Initiative to advance this science.

I think it is really important that we stay focused on making sure that the hardest hit states, the states with the highest mortality rates, get the concentration of funds they need.

I was very proud to work with the rest of the New Hampshire delegation to secure a truly significant increase in funds for the Granite State to use for prevention, treatment, and recovery through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health…

Would you support additional authority from Congress so that CMS can impose civil monetary penalties on drug makers who knowingly misclassify their drugs in the Medicaid rebate program?

Big pharma is endlessly creative when it comes to ways to game the system and pad its pockets.

I appreciated very much your comments about the importance of protections for people with preexisting conditions.

I do not believe the media are the enemy of the people.

The Internet traffic hasn't slowed yet. That could change in time.

Thank you, Mr. Chair, for having the hearing and to our Ranking Member as well, and thank you to the panel for being here today.

Do you believe the President's rhetoric is harmful to the values enshrined in the First Amendment?

I appreciate the leadership that you and Commissioner Rosenworcel have shown on this important issue.

You need to be doing more, and I was given a commitment at the last hearing on this issue that you would be doing more.

I find that really troubling.

That is not acceptable. A siloed response to child welfare is not acceptable.

I thank Senator Wyden for his leadership for our seniors, for our Nation's economy, and for all of our people.

I note that, as I understand it, NASA funds science missions based on priorities set by the National Academy of Sciences, which makes a lot of sense.

It is very important for girls and young women to see women lead in science.

The challenges we face in space require a united front from all of us.

The Russian hackers got to the point where they could have thrown switches.

We need to do that. We need to do that now.
