The Trump administration has so far refused to request additional funding to fight this crisis.

If this were any other kind of public health crisis that was taking 100 lives a day... we would be devoting considerably more resources to it.

Can you commit to me that, if confirmed, the National Weather Service will continue to have this relationship with Governors and emergency management officials and, if possible, expand resources and this free information to be made…

I cannot stress the importance of having this information available on a minute-to-minute basis so that resources could be most efficiently allocated throughout New Hampshire.

Americans deserve access to the lifesaving forecasts and other weather information provided to the public by NOAA.

For years, they have pledged to reduce the deficit. But, their tax package explodes the deficit.

I'm concerned about these attempts to undermine the Federal Reserve's independence, as I suspect you are as well.

The Republican tax bill moving through the Senate adds 13 million to the ranks of the uninsured to pay for tax breaks for the wealthy and special interests.

But the problem, of course then, is when they do that, the insurance companies come in and charge much more for that benefit.

I am very concerned that under the rule that has been proposed now, states would decide to limit this critically important benefit.

As you know, under the Supreme Court decisions in 'Roe v. Wade,' women have a constitutional right to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions.

If confirmed as Secretary, do you agree that you have an obligation to follow the Constitution and all the laws of the United States, even those you may not personally agree with?

Political appointees in Washington, DC at HHS should not be imposing their own ideology on these young women, nor should they be coercing them or shaming them for their choices.

As you know, New Hampshire has been ravaged by the fentanyl, heroin, and opioid crisis, and we are in need of real resources to help those on the front lines combat it.

I cannot imagine that if an employer told male employees that they could not have certain kinds of healthcare that men would tolerate it.

With an epidemic of this scope, this size, it does not seem to me that not spending additional dollars on it is going to do the trick.

I hope very much that you will urge the Administration to actually identify what it would cost.

I hope very much that the group that is crafting this tax bill will decide not to try to repeal the individual mandate.

If Republicans move forward with their plan on the tax bill, the efforts of the Alexander-Murray Bill are for naught.

This partisan plan would cause healthcare premiums to rise an additional 10 percent a year in the individual market and about 10 percent through most of the budget window that the tax bill deals with.

The Trump Administration's sabotage attempts are already raising healthcare premiums and squeezing hard-working people in New Hampshire and across the country.

I do want to say how disappointed I am about reports that Republicans are now threatening to use their tax bill to pursue a partisan goal of repealing health coverage.

It is great to have a panel that represents the various perspectives and things we need to think about as we engage with this incredible cutting edge technology.

It is a priority of yours to ensure that the absolute bedrock of our democracy is protected before our 2018 elections take place?

It seems that you just confirmed what this article said, which is that DHS has only started to reach out to States' chief election officials within the past few weeks.
