Washington, D.C. – Today, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander voted against H.R. 1, the so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which makes the biggest cuts to healthcare and food assistance in American history while skyrocketing the national debt, all to pay for trillions in tax handouts to billionaires and big corporations.
“In the dead of night, House Republicans tried to jam a bill through Congress — a truly big bill and truly bad bill for the people of New Hampshire. But I read every bill that we vote on in the United States House of Representatives, and that’s why I was a hard no on H.R. 1,” said Congresswoman Goodlander. “The GOP’s budget bill will add trillions of dollars to America’s already sky-high debt to pay for tax giveaways to billionaires who do not need them. Millions of Americans – and tens of thousands of people across New Hampshire – could see their healthcare ripped away under the bill. This bill kills good-paying jobs and will jack up healthcare costs, energy costs, education costs, and more. At a moment when the cost crisis is standing between hardworking people and the American dream, this bill is bad for New Hampshire and bad for America.”
Congresswoman Goodlander has been an outspoken advocate against the GOP’s budget bill:
Congresswoman Goodlander offered an amendment to require the Department of Defense to pass a clean audit before receiving additional funds. Full remarks are available here.
Congresswoman Goodlander testified against the GOP Big, Brutal Budget Bill in the House Rules Committee. Full remarks are available here.
Congresswoman Goodlander spoke on the floor advocating for protections against cuts to Medicaid and to SNAP. Full remarks are available here.
Congresswoman Goodlander has dedicated her life to fighting for a fair deal, including building a tax system that delivers tax breaks for working families, not handouts to billionaires and big corporations. This week, she testified in front of the House Rules Committee in opposition to the GOP’s Big, Brutal Budget bill and in support of four amendments she offered to the legislation. Since taking the oath of office, she has met with health care workers, child care providers, small business owners, first responders, hospitals, veterans, teachers, and more, and heard firsthand about how this legislation will harm NH. Goodlander also served as a Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the United States Department of Justice, where she took on the corporate monopolies hurting NH’s small businesses and held them accountable for jacking up prices and making life harder for Granite Staters.
