Chris Pappas, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Hampshire’s 1st district, has shared several updates through his social media account. These posts reflect on local cultural celebrations, community service initiatives, and international agreements that involve his constituents.

On March 17, 2025, Rep. Chris Pappas acknowledged St. Patrick's Day by highlighting New Hampshire's significant Irish ancestry. He expressed his wishes for the celebration across the state: "As the state with the highest proportion of Irish ancestry in the country, I want to wish everyone across the Granite State a happy St. Patrick's Day! "

Later that day, Pappas participated in a community service activity with Meals on Wheels. On March 17, 2025, he tweeted about this engagement: "Kicked off the week with Meals on Wheels this morning! Meals on Wheels is a vital community resource that serves some of our most vulnerable neighbors. I was glad to get an update on their work and help deliver meals to community members."

The following day, March 18, 2025, Pappas commented on international cooperation through a strategic defense agreement known as AUKUS. He emphasized its impact on local industries: "Through the AUKUS agreement with our allies, UK and Australia, we’ll bolster our naval capabilities and submarine industrial bases and strengthen our cooperation in the Indo-Pacific. New Hampshire manufacturers, workers, and the Shipyard will help lead the way in this mission."
