Lisa Kennedy Sheldon has spent her career in service to others as a nurse. That's exactly the kind of leadership we need on the Executive Council. I am proud to support her. Thank you Lisa for stepping up again to serve! #nhpolitics

Inspiring to be in Dover recently with my good friend Senator David Watters, a lifelong servant leader who does so much for our community. It was great to be in the foxhole together again knocking doors for an incredible slate of candidates up and down the ticket. Thank you to everyone who came out!

Wonderful to be in Manchester Ward 1 this week to support Jim O'Connell for Executive Council & Dian McCarthy for State Senate. Terrific energy in the room – people are fired up for new leadership in Concord. Thank you to Lisa and John Scachi, and Kay and Mark Mulcahy for opening their home.

#NHpolitics

We are just over a month out from a critical election, and it was great to spend the day earlier this week knocking doors with my friend and Navy Veteran Leonard Bell in Manchester Ward 6.

Leonard is running to flip State Senate District 18 and is exactly the kind of servant leader we need right now in Concord – someone with a demonstrated commitment to service and a track record of leadership who is stepping up once again to serve our country and community.

New Hampshire will be stronger for Leonard’s continued service. Join us on the doors over these next few weeks to elect leaders who share our values up and down the ticket! #NHPolitics

Portsmouth Pride! What a joyful and fun and weekend! It is so important to show that the Granite State is a place where everyone has the freedom to be themselves, and live life fully! That is the Live Free or Die way. Happy Pride to all! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈💕

Great conversations and terrific barbecue at MrSippy in Rochester last week! Thanks to Herman Enjarque for the warm introduction, Cecil for the hospitality, and everyone for coming out! #NHPolitics

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Couldn’t ask for a better day than going for a hike with the kids. Running for Congress with three under five years old isn’t easy, but it’s so important for New Hampshire families to have this perspective in the rooms where policy gets made. 🧵

10 May

I’m grateful to my mom, my mother-in-law, my sisters, and all the moms out there who continue to show up with love and nurturing when it matters most. Also thinking today of those for whom this day is hard or brings mixed emotions. We see you and honor you today, too. 🙏💕 #NHPolitics

8 May

It's time to ban corporate PACs, end congressional stock trading & overturn Citizens United because public service should be about serving the public, not enriching yourself or helping your donors. That’s the fight I’ll take to Washington. Read my anti-corruption platform maurafornh.com/priorities

Wakefield and North Conway! I appreciate everyone who joined us at Poor People's Pub and Democracy On Tap at Cheese Louise. Great questions and conversation. Huge thanks to Bill Marshall and Kim Fudge for hosting! #NHPolitics

6 May

I met Curtis through my work on Congressman Chris Pappas's Veterans Advisory Committee. He's a dedicated public servant, whether in the Marines in Iraq or now as a Durham Town Councilor. I'm proud to call him a friend & honored to have earned his support. Thank you, Curtis. Semper Fi. #NHPolitics

Public education was a first-date conversation for me and my husband. It's what made our lives possible. I never would have served our country as a Marine officer or had the opportunity to work for President Obama without it. 🧵

6 May

I’m forever grateful to the teachers whose hard work and commitment set me up so well, and I’m deeply committed to ensuring that every kid in New Hampshire has the same access to a first-rate public education that I did. Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day! #NHPolitics

You're invited to our Portsmouth office opening! 📆 May 9th, 2:00 - 5:00 PM 📍226 State Street, Portsmouth 👥 All are welcome (including kids and well-behaved dogs!) Come for the snacks and good tunes, stay to fight for democracy 🇺🇸 #NHPolitics

Never let Trump tell you that we can't afford healthcare, childcare, or housing. We have the money. 🧵

Right now, Trump is spending our tax dollars on this reckless war in Iran, & Granite Staters are paying the price. The Pentagon has already spent $25 billion – about $190 per American household – & that's before you count what this war is doing to the price of gas, groceries, & everything else. ➡️

nytimes.comWhat $25 Billion Spent on the War in Iran Really MeansIt exceeds the annual budgets of numerous federal agencies, and the Pentagon’s yearly budget for munitions.

I’ve served in a war in the Middle East. I know the costs. I won’t sit by while we repeat these mistakes. #NHPolitics www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

1 May

Unions built the middle class & remain critical as we build an economy that serves working people – not just the wealthy & well-connected. In Congress, I'll be a champion for union labor because everyone deserves dignity & agency on the job. Great chatting with folks in Durham today. Happy May Day!

Good to be with so many fellow Democrats at the McIntyre Shaheen dinner last night, honoring the trailblazing legacy of Senator Jeanne Shaheen and recommitting ourselves to the work ahead. We are so honored that Secretary Clinton was the special guest. Congratulations to the awardees! #NHPolitics

Thank you for turning out, Portsmouth! I'm so grateful to everyone who joined us last night. It was an honor to be hosted by my friend & New Hampshire treasure, Senator Martha Fuller Clark. What an incredible evening. #NHPolitics Join the Home Front Tour: www.mobilize.us/MauraSullivanforCongress

Some of my proudest work was at the Pentagon, expanding access to childcare for military families. Affordable, accessible childcare is a foundational economic issue affecting families everywhere, both in the military and across NH. 🧵

22 Apr

It affects who can work, when they can work, and what resources families have for their kids. And it’s an area where it deeply matters who’s in the room making policy, and what experiences they’ve had.

22 Apr

Thank you to Tara and Nick for hosting last night in Durham – and for providing childcare. Because of that, more young families were able to show up and be part of the democratic process. And of course, seeing all the little ones was a highlight! #NHPolitics

newscentermaine.comUnion agreements terminated at Portsmouth Naval ShipyardUnion workers at the shipyard expressed concerns that losing collective bargaining protections could adversely affect safety, pay, and working conditions.

19 Apr

Workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard protect our national security. Unions help ensure they can do it safely, with fair pay and benefits. Ending these agreements doesn't make America stronger, but it does put workers at risk. #NHPolitics www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Great connecting with old friends and new supporters at the Reproductive Freedom Fund Gala this evening at the Rex Theatre in Manchester. 🧵

17 Apr

@reprofreedomnh raises money to expand access to reproductive & LGBTQ+ health care. That we still have to fight for these basic rights is a shame, but it's a fight I’m proud to continue as long as it takes. #NHPolitics

Strong public education is at the heart of the American promise: that everyone, no matter where they come from or who their parents are, has a fair shot to get ahead. Without access to high-quality education, that promise slips away.

13 Apr

I’m a product of public education, and I intend to fight like hell in Congress to ensure future generations have the same opportunities I had. #NHPolitics

12 Apr

Thanks for having me, Merrimack! From Saint-Gobain to ICE, this community has been through a lot. Grateful to have leaders like State Rep. Wendy Thomas in the room who’ve been on the front lines fighting back.

12 Apr

In Congress, I’ll always listen and fight to ensure communities like Merrimack have a voice at the table and the resources they need to chart their own future. #NHPolitics

Calling for the death of a civilization is evil. There are millions of innocent children and families in Iran, just like here. We are America, & this is not what we do or who we are. The President is unhinged. Members of Congress & the cabinet: find your humanity. Do not just stand by. #NHPolitics

newhampshirebulletin.comAyotte signs bill barring use of student IDs to vote • New Hampshire BulletinGov. Kelly Ayotte has signed a law requiring a government-issued identification in order to vote in New Hampshire, eliminating the option to use high school or college IDs at the polls.

7 Apr

First, they went after snowbirds, seniors & ppl with disabilities by eliminating affidavits. Now students. Next, it's married women through the SAVE Act. NH has a strong tradition of election integrity. This is a solution in search of a problem. #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/briefs/ayott...

Passover is a wonderful and important time to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy, the sacrifices those before us made to secure them, and our responsibility to ensure they are shared by all. I wish all who celebrate a meaningful and joyful holiday. From our family to yours, Chag Sameach!

I know what it is like to look at the future and feel anxiety about costs: to not know if you can afford college, if you’re going to get a good job, if you can afford health insurance, pay your rent, pay off those loans, and build a life.

2 Apr

I heard the same thing at Great North Aleworks this week: life is unaffordable for Granite Staters, and it is simply too hard to just get by.

2 Apr

I don't come from a wealthy or well-connected family, but I worked hard, had a great public education, served my country & pursued the American Dream. I want everyone to have that chance, no matter who you are or where you're from. That’s the promise of this country, & it’s time we made good on it.

Thank you, Vote Mama! As a mom of three children under five, I’m immensely proud to have their endorsement. No one fights harder than a Marine. Except a Marine who’s also a mom. #NHPolitics

Marines spend 13 weeks training separated from their families and swear a solemn oath to defend our country. Now ICE is checking papers at graduation & potentially deporting their families. Marines and their families deserve so much better. #NHPolitics www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...
