Pappas, who has served in Congress since 2019, continues to engage actively in discussions about healthcare and national security, emphasizing the impact of potential policy changes.

In a tweet on March 27, 2025, Rep. Pappas expressed his opposition to proposed cuts to Medicaid, appealing to his Republican colleagues to protect access to essential healthcare services. He stated, "Today I spoke on the floor to urge my Republican colleagues not to betray working families, and to stand up against cuts to Medicaid.

Later that day, Pappas highlighted discussions with healthcare professionals in New Hampshire regarding the pivotal role Medicaid plays in women's health. Stressing the need for accessible healthcare, he promised to continue defending reproductive rights. He explained, "I met with NH doctors to discuss the importance of Medicaid for women's health, addressing maternity care deserts, and supporting those who serve our communities.

On a different but pressing national matter, Pappas criticized leadership within the national security community, calling for accountability. He urged for the resignation of a high-level official, asserting, "The top leaders of our national security community should know better than this. It is indefensible and inexcusable. There must be accountability starting with the immediate resignation of Secretary Hegseth."
