The Public Record
Maggie Hassan is an American politician serving as the junior United States senator from New Hampshire since January 3, 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, she previously held the position of the 81st governor of New Hampshire from January 3, 2013, to January 5, 2017. During her tenure as governor, Hassan focused on expanding access to healthcare, improving the state's economy, and addressing issues related to education and infrastructure.
We do not have even an outline of that bill for us to be able to examine ourselves.

Medicaid has served as a lifeline for states that have been hit hardest by the opioid epidemic.
I am going to continue to work with my colleagues on solutions, while standing firm against any policy that will pull us backwards.
This is an issue that rises above partisanship, and this is the work that we need to be doing because the lives of our people in our states depend on it.

What we cannot do, however, is end Medicaid expansion and institute deep and irresponsible cuts to the traditional Medicaid program.
We should be coming together here, just as we did in my home State, to support those on the front lines and help those who are struggling with addiction.
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.
We were elected to represent Republicans and Democrats, and it is my view that the Administration serves members of both parties in their oversight role.
As we assess changes to the current air traffic control system, we have to obviously make sure that safety remains paramount.
This legislation will improve transparency for consumers, review overbooking policies, guarantee paying customers have a right to fly, and makes other common sense reforms.
The United incident does not represent a one-time situation of mistreatment of passengers, and, in fact, there have been several incidents in the brief period of time between the United incident and today's hearing.
The Administration's support for eliminating things like Medicaid expansion and requirements that insurance companies treat addiction
This budget tells me that your priority is to secure the Southern border and that fighting off all other threats is secondary.
It just seems to me a totally false choice to leave a border inviting and open, relatively open.
