BARTLETT — During a stop at Ledge Brewing in Intervale on Sunday, March 23, U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) expressed “deep concern” over recent Trump administration's actions, including the firing of U.S. Forest Service workers, closing the Social Security office in Littleton and drastic Medicaid cuts that could affect 68,000 N.H. residents.
The stop was part of his “Grounded in Granite” Tour in which he is traveling across the state to hear concerns from Granite Staters as he considers a possible 2026 run for U.S. Senate.
