Maggie Hassan

I do have a hard time thinking that a name change really does all that, and I understand that you are saying it is more than a name change.

We cannot arrest our way out of this. We have to do everything to get out of this.

Aquaculture has brought my State of New Hampshire a new support system to the local seafood industry.

I've called on the President to make OSTP a priority, as science and innovation are the keys to unlocking our Nation's economy.

But federally funded research has resulted in breakthroughs that have saved lives, prevented disease, and saved citizens, businesses, and taxpayers significant amounts of money.

I just would like to register my disappointment that no action has been taken to fill this very critical role.

We have to prioritize funding for STEM education to remain competitive.

I have concerns that if we narrow our accountability metrics to only look at program-level outcomes, we'll let institutions off the hook.

It's essential that we have a robust communication system during emergencies.

Well, thank you. That is very helpful.

It's a civil rights issue, and it should be on the forefront of everybody at the Department of Education regardless of which chair they sit in.

How are we going to deal with job training for the next generation and for the people who are today going to be displaced by this technology?

This is, indeed, very exciting technology and really represents the potential for enormous innovation in all aspects of American life and global life, actually.

The bipartisan AV START Act, which Senator Peters and I introduced, accomplishes these goals by building on the existing regulatory framework to prioritize safety through increased reporting and oversight.

If U.S. regulators are not able to foster safe testing and deployment of AV technology through modernizations like those in AV START, the rest of the world will not sit by.

I would appreciate--you know, I'd look forward to talking with you more about it, because it became--I think, for all states, it's a real issue.

One challenge we faced in New Hampshire is the need to ensure that our first responders in the Granite State have enough information about what dangerous chemicals or other products are traveling through by freight rail.

I will say that the See Something, Say Something campaign is premised on something a little bit different than what you all just said.

The campaign is simple, and many of the thwarted terrorist attacks in the U.S. were stopped because everyday people alerted authorities to suspicious behavior.

I think that is fair. I am over time, and I see that. I thank you for this.

It's astounding that one paragraph jotted down in 1980 helped fuel the horrible epidemic that we are seeing today.

And my own anecdotal sense that Medicaid expansion did not, in fact, cause an increase in opioid deaths is reinforced by a recent article in Health Affairs.

In fact, one of the reasons we all came together to implement Medicaid expansion is because we had a crisis in our behavioral health and drug overdose deaths in our state.

I was Governor of New Hampshire starting in January 2013. I'm also a Governor who worked with my Republican legislature to implement Medicaid expansion.

How do we bring those people into jobs that are relevant in the 21st Century?
