In Their Words
What they have said, on the record
“The people of New Hampshire have a right to know what is being built in their own backyard, especially when it involves a project of this scale that could impact their water quality, electric rates, and quality of life,”
“The Trump Administration cut veterans’ health care – laying off thousands of employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs – while spending billions of dollars on bombs, a ballroom and tax breaks for billionaires. That’s outrageous,”
“Our health care system is broken, and it has to be fixed,”
“There is just so much at stake as it relates to healthcare,”
“They’re angry about what’s happening in the country,”
“When you have two congresspeople in a state, it is really so important that you’re committed to doing the work that your constituents need,”

“I feel firmly that women being able to access reproductive healthcare is a critical priority, … These are not decisions that politicians should be making.”
“No one in this country should have to ration insulin in order to get through the day, and put themselves at risk of surviving, … I’ve seen firsthand, at every turn, health insurance companies making it harder for people to get the care they need.”
“Ultimately, I think, what got me into this race is really RFK Jr., becoming secretary of health and human services,”
“It’s more important than ever that we control the majority in one body in the legislature, at least. And I think we’re going to have the best shot of doing that in the House, which is why we have to win this seat”
“I think there’s a cynicism implied about why you would want to get into this work.”
“What differentiates me is my experience, my background, and my deep roots in this district. I was born and raised here, with the exception of the few years I left for college. I’ve been here my whole life,”

And I believe now more than ever, we have pressing, urgent fights ahead that we need to be focused on with a tenacity and relentlessness that I know how to bring.” [08:27] “Starting with, you know, we need, we know the system isn't working. It's broken. It needs to be fixed. I'm for Medicare for All, a universal healthcare, you know, any way we in which we can rebuild the system.” [08:56] “I've called for banning the use of AI from health insurance companies relative to making eligibility decisions or, you know, decisions on whether prescription drugs are going to be covered.” [12:35] “And I think people are often skeptical, as like, is this really who you are? And I think what I wish people would know is that what you see is what you get.”
