Rep. Chris Pappas, a member of the U.S. Congress representing New Hampshire’s 1st district since 2019, has recently shared his views on a Republican budget proposal through a series of tweets. Pappas, who succeeded Carol Shea-Porter in Congress and previously served in the New Hampshire House of Representatives from 2002 to 2010, expressed concerns about the potential impacts of this proposal.
On July 3, 2025, Rep. Chris Pappas stated that he had received feedback from “thousands of Granite Staters” who oppose the Republican budget plan due to anticipated cuts to health care and food assistance programs. He emphasized that these cuts would adversely affect various groups including seniors, people with disabilities, family members, neighbors, doctors, pastors, and teachers. The tweet can be viewed here.
Later that day on July 3, Pappas commented on the passage of the budget by Republicans despite significant opposition from constituents. He described it as a “betrayal of American families,” warning that sending this bill to the President’s desk could result in millions losing access to health care and food security for tax cuts’ sake. The full tweet is available here.
On July 4, 2025, Rep. Pappas extended greetings for Independence Day with a simple message: “Happy Independence Day!” The tweet can be accessed here.
Chris Pappas was born in Manchester, New Hampshire in 1980 and continues to reside there at age 42. He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University.
