Granite State Times

Rep. Chris Pappas, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Hampshire’s 1st district, has been vocal about issues affecting his constituents through a series of tweets. These messages address federal funding cuts, social welfare programs, and local community events.

On February 19, 2025, Rep. Pappas shared insights from a meeting with Portsmouth leaders. He expressed concern over "reckless cuts to vital federal funding being planned in Washington" and emphasized his commitment to advocating for the necessary support and resources for Granite Staters.

In a subsequent tweet on February 20, 2025, Rep. Pappas criticized proposed reductions to social programs that assist children, individuals affected by the opioid crisis, and seniors' health services. He described these actions as "barbaric" when used to fund tax cuts for wealthy individuals and stated firmly that he would not support such measures. The original tweet is available here.

Later that day, Rep. Pappas congratulated participants of the FIRST Championship held in Concord on February 20, 2025. He commended all teams involved and extended special recognition to Exeter’s VERTEX and Nashua’s Team Tesseract as they advance to the World Championship competition.
