Senator Hassan Statement on Historic Congressional Majorities, Mandate to Lower Costs and Combat Corruption

WASHINGTON — U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), who is expected to Chair the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee in the new Congress, released the following statement after the American people elected new majorities to the House and Senate: “This historic failure of a President just got a historic rejection at the ballot box. Granite Staters and Americans nationwide are demanding an end to President Trump’s costs and corruption, and we now have the opportunity to write the next chapter in our country’s history. “The new majorities in Congress must focus on affordability and accountability for the American people. We must use every tool at our disposal to rein in this President, end this illegal war in Iran, and reverse his tariffs. And as part of my new role on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, we will investigate and expose the corruption that is hurting taxpayers and Americans. “Let’s get to work — there’s plenty to do.” ###
