Granite State Times

Chris Pappas, a U.S. Congressman representing New Hampshire's 1st district, recently shared several statements on social media concerning local civic engagement and legislative initiatives. These tweets provide insight into his priorities and perspectives on various issues affecting his constituents.

On March 11, 2025, Pappas emphasized the importance of local participation in governance by encouraging residents to vote during Town Meeting Day in New Hampshire. He stated, "It’s Town Meeting Day in New Hampshire! Make your voice heard by voting on local services, infrastructure projects, and more at your town meeting today."

The following day, March 12, 2025, Pappas expressed gratitude towards Senator Jeanne Shaheen for her service to the state. He noted her dedication and leadership by saying, "Senator Shaheen has tirelessly served Granite Staters as a Governor and a U.S. senator. She has always put New Hampshire first, and under her effective leadership, she has made a long-lasting difference for our communities."

Later that day, Pappas addressed federal fiscal policies by advocating for his legislative proposal aimed at reducing government spending waste. He called upon political leaders to support this initiative with the statement: "If the President and House Republicans want to actually cut wasteful government spending here’s step one: Pass my bipartisan Fighting Budget Waste Act."
