WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (NH-01) issued the following statement after helping pass a package to fully fund the government for the remainder of the fiscal year 2023:

“The priorities included in this bipartisan package will ensure New Hampshire communities remain healthy and safe, deliver law enforcement and first responders the resources they need, and that help Granite State families heat their homes and bring down their costs. I fought to secure those and additional provisions to fight fentanyl trafficking, strengthen border security, improve care for veterans, and bolster New Hampshire’s manufacturing workforce. The final package is the product of months of work listening to and working directly with Granite Staters to secure the resources they need and know how to use best. I urge President Biden to sign this into law, and I remain committed to delivering results for New Hampshire.”
