In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“I'm rated as one of the most bipartisan members of Congress. I delivered expanded care and benefits to over a million veterans, investments in our roads, bridges, water systems, infrastructure, support for people suffering from addiction and mental health, and there's much more work to do.”
Pappas, Sununu focus on each other's records as US Senate race kicks offSep 10, 2026 · Press · WMUR · source
“It is time to turn the page in America to a better day. We’ve got to turn the page on Donald Trump’s reckless leadership, on corruption, on the rigged economy, and on costs.”
