We’re up against Koch Brothers and GOP Big Money

Hi there, the Koch brothers’ operation is attacking me for protecting good, union jobs and standing up for Granite State families. That’s a fight I’ll take on any day of the week. GOP special interests groups and corporate PACs will do whatever they need to do to make me a one-term cong…

We missed our goal

Hi there,   We fell short of last night’s fundraising goal. With the Koch Brothers’ operation targeting me, Trump and Pence holding rallies in the district, and the National Republican Congressional Committee calling one of my opponents a “Young Gun On-The-Radar,” we can’t afford to mi…

Corruption and the influence of big money

Chris Pappas for NH         Hi there,   Time and time again, voters tell me that we need to get big money out of politics and restore decency and integrity to Washington by putting power back in the hands of the people.    We cannot make progress on lowering …

Trump and Pence are in NH

Friends,   President Trump is at a campaign rally here in Manchester right now. VP Pence held his rally earlier this afternoon.   We’re not surprised that Trump has made our district a top priority, but hosting rallies on the eve of our first-in-the-nation primary is proof that his top G…

Will you help us close the gap?

Hi there -- wrapping up from a busy day, but I wanted to take a moment to reach out. Team Pappas is still just $1,860 short of our goal. Our campaign is entirely funded by real people. I don’t take any corporate PAC money, which is why your grassroots support means so much. But one of my …

I wish I wasn’t sending you this email

We need to pick up the pace

Hi there,   Last week President Trump opened the doors to make big cuts to Medicare and other social safety-net programs. During his campaign, he promised he wouldn’t slash these programs, but this was the long game that he had plotted all along.   President Trump needs to think again. We w…

Will you help me fight back against dark money?

Hi there -- I’m back in the First District this week, and I must say it’s good to be home and seeing my constituents. With a corporate-PAC funded opponent in the race and the recent news about Donald Trump’s upcoming trip to Manchester, voters are concerned about the GOP efforts to unseat me …

Hi Team Pappas!

After Chris wrote yesterday, DOZENS of supporters jumped in to help us close in on our end-of-week fundraising goal, so I wanted to share our progress and a bit of news.   We still have $2,160 left to raise before midnight, but perhaps more importantly WMUR reported yesterday that Chris's new …

The “swingiest” of swing districts

Friends, Last week I got back to work in Washington on behalf of Granite Staters in the First District. We’ve been quite busy so far, and we have some important policy decisions ahead of us. In Congress I’ve been focusing on issues like PFAS contamination, the cost of healthcare and prescripti…
