Congressman Pappas supports legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress, restrict dark money in elections, regulate shadow lobbying, and strengthen congressional ethics enforcement through independent oversight.
The statement emphasizes banning stock trading by members of Congress, restricting dark money, regulating shadow lobbying, and strengthening ethics enforcement. The bill addresses foreign influence on elections by restricting tax-exempt organizations that receive foreign contributions from making political donations. Both address election integrity and foreign/special-interest influence broadly, and the rep's YES vote aligns with the anti-corruption theme. However, the bill's specific mechanism (foreign-contribution restrictions on tax-exempt orgs) differs from the statement's focus on congressional stock trading and dark money disclosure. The vote is consistent with the rep's stated anti-corruption values, though the bill does not directly address the specific provisions the statement emphasizes.

Pappas, Blumenthal Introduce New Comprehensive Legislation to Crack Down on Claim Sharks Scamming Veterans
Position: The release advocates for legislation to strengthen federal enforcement against fraudulent claims representatives who exploit veterans seeking VA benefits, including reinstating criminal penalties for unaccredited agents charging fees and closing loopholes that allow predatory actors to avoid prosecution.
Today U.S. Representative Chris Pappas (NH-01), Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, and Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee Ranking Member Richard Blumenthal (CT) announced their new comprehensive legislation to hold claims sharks and other predatory actors accountable for exploiting veterans and survivors’ earned Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits.
The lawmakers’ Stopping Abuse, Fraud, and Exploitation by Governing Unaccredited Representatives Defrauding (SAFEGUARD) Veterans Act would make explicit that only VA-accredited individuals can assist veterans with VA benefit claims and reinstate criminal penalties for unaccredited agents who charge veterans extortionate fees for assistance with VA disability claims—a service provided for free by VA and accredited nonprofits. While current law prohibits this activity, predatory actors have used loopholes to avoid prosecution and federal agencies are limited in their ability to enforce the law without criminal penalties.
“Veterans seeking to access their benefits should not face another battle to do so. Unaccredited, for-profit companies are scamming veterans of their earned benefits under the guise of helping them and they must be stopped,” said Congressman Pappas. “This legislation is about transparency for veterans so they know the resources and help available to them when they apply for benefits, and accountability for for-profit claim sharks that are breaking the law and exploiting legal loopholes to defraud them. I’m glad to be working with Senator Blumenthal, veterans, veterans’ service organizations, and colleagues on both sides of the aisle on this issue. I won’t stop fighting to reinstate criminal penalties on these illegal business practices and safeguard the benefits veterans have earned.”
“Veterans need protection against claims sharks and other predatory scammers who are stealing millions in hard-earned benefits,” said Senator Blumenthal. “Our legislation will close loopholes and impose strict criminal penalties— deterring as well as punishing bad actors. There should be zero tolerance for exploitive tactics robbing veterans of funds they well deserve and need to live. I hope this measure will have bipartisan backing.”
The SAFEGUARD Veterans Act would:
Reestablish criminal penalties for unaccredited claims representatives scamming veterans;
Prohibit VA accreditation of any person found guilty of unauthorized solicitation, charging, or receiving compensation for assisting with VA benefit claims;
Close loopholes exploited by unaccredited actors to skirt federal prohibitions on unaccredited agents assisting veterans with VA benefit claims;
Prohibit the use of robocall technology to obtain VA claims information—targeting claim sharks who spam VA call centers to gain unauthorized access to veterans’ claims information;
Require VA to establish a system to track accredited agents and where veterans can report scammers; and
Increase warnings to veterans about claim sharks and other predatory practices of unaccredited agents.
“In recent years, numerous complaints have been raised about benefit‑assistance companies that target veterans with aggressive marketing practices, charge unauthorized or excessive fees, and provide misleading information about VA benefits. No veteran should be taken advantage of while trying to access the benefits they earned serving our country,” said Congressman Bacon. “These concerns underscore the urgent need for stronger protections and real accountability for bad actors. Predatory claim sharks undermine trust in the VA process and can leave veterans paying unauthorized fees for help they should be able to receive from accredited representatives. I’m grateful to work with Rep. Pappas on the SAFEGUARD Veterans Act to strengthen consumer protections, restore real consequences for bad actors, and make sure veterans know where to turn for trusted help.”
"Our veterans sacrificed so much to defend us and our freedoms – the least we can do is protect the benefits they earned and deserve," said Congresswoman Bynum. “I am proud to introduce the bipartisan SAFEGUARD Veterans Act to crack down on claim sharks preying on veterans and taking their benefits. Let's pass this bill and ensure our heroes in need of assistance can access it without the risk of being scammed.”
“We must reinstate strong criminal penalties for bad actors who illegally charge veterans for VA claims, while requiring accredited or supervised representation, strengthening enforcement, and expanding outreach so veterans can access free, trusted assistance. Veterans who served our country should never be charged unauthorized fees or misled by companies seeking to profit off the benefits they earned,” said Congressman Lawler.
The lawmakers’ legislation builds on bipartisan efforts to hold unaccredited entities accountable and a NPR investigation that revealed private companies continue to make millions by extorting veterans, despite knowing their actions are likely illegal. It also comes on the heels of a U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina summary judgement ruling that unaccredited companies are considered agents and are subject to the federal ban on charging veterans for assistance with preparation, presentation, and prosecution of claims for VA benefits. Some states have passed legislation authorizing the practice of charging for assistance with VA claims. The SAFEGUARD Veterans Act includes state laws preemption regarding recognition, fee agreements, or authority to charge for assistance with the preparation, presentation, or prosecution of VA benefit claims.
In the House, Pappas was joined by Reps. Don Bacon (NE-02), Janelle Bynum (OR-05), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Eleanor Holmes Norton (DC-AL), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), Bill Keating (MA-08), Dina Titus (NV-03), Vindman (VA-08), and Jimmy Panetta (CA-19). In the Senate, the SAFEGUARD Veterans Act is co-sponsored by U.S. Senators Angus King (I-ME), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Ben Ray Lujan (D-NM), Michael Bennet (D-CO), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), Bernard Sanders (I-VT), Ruben Gallego (D-AZ), Jacky Rosen (D-NM), Mark Kelly (D-AZ), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), and Peter Welch (D-VT).
The legislation is also supported by National Association of County Veterans Service Officers (NACVSO), Military Officers Association of America (MOAA), the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), Disabled American Veterans (DAV), and The American Legion.
“NACVSO supports the SAFEGUARD Veterans Act of 2026 and its efforts to restore integrity within the VA claims process,” said NACVSO President Andrew Tangen. “VA-accredited representatives operate under federal oversight, training requirements, and ethical standards designed to protect veterans, while unaccredited claims agents have increasingly exploited enforcement gaps while profiting from veteran injuries and illnesses. This legislation takes bad profit incentives away from unscrupulous claims agents by restoring criminal penalties for unauthorized assistance, improving transparency, modernizing accreditation oversight, and increasing awareness of predatory practices. No veteran should ever have to pay for initial claim services and those who have illegally profited must be held accountable.”
“For too long, unaccredited claims consultants have exploited veterans and survivors by charging excessive, unlawful fees for assistance they are not authorized to provide. The SAFEGUARD Veterans Act restores accountability, strengthens protections for veterans navigating the VA claims process, and reinforces the critical role of accredited veterans service organizations, attorneys, and claims agents who are held to rigorous standards," said MOAA President and CEO Lt. Gen. Brian T. Kelly, USAF (Ret). "MOAA applauds lawmakers for introducing this important legislation to preserve the integrity of the VA benefits system and ensure veterans are not targeted by predatory actors seeking to profit off of service-earned benefits.”
“DAV strongly supports the SAFEGUARD Veterans Act to help combat a serious and ongoing threat: unethical individuals who prey on veterans navigating the complex VA claims process and charge fees for help that should be free and accredited. By reinstating criminal penalties for unaccredited claims assistance, streamlining the accreditation process, and making public those who have been barred from VA accreditation, this bill puts teeth back into protections that veterans need, deserve, and have earned. Passage of this legislation would demonstrate our nation’s unwavering commitment to honor and protect all who have served because every veteran deserves strong, honest advocacy when seeking earned benefits—not opportunists seeking to profit,” said DAV National Service Director Scott Hope.
Background:
Unaccredited claims representatives, or claim sharks, are not subject to VA standards. They strategically advertise their services to avoid regulatory oversight and as a result, may engage in predatory and unethical practices that target veterans and rob them of their VA benefits. Federal laws and regulations prohibit anyone from assisting a veteran in the preparation, presentation, or prosecution of a VA benefit claim, or charging a fee for this assistance, without accreditation from VA. However, VA and other federal agencies are limited in their ability to enforce existing law because explicit criminal penalties were stripped from statute nearly two decades ago. This has contributed to the proliferation of unaccredited claims representatives in recent years, a troubling development especially as more veterans receive the benefits they’re owed thanks to the Honoring Our PACT Act.
In December, Pappas led a bipartisan group of more than 40 members in sending a letter to the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau highlighting the disturbing and escalatory tactics of claim sharks, including those in reporting from NPR, and demanding the agencies immediately investigate and take meaningful action to curb these practices and protect veterans. Following that, Pappas introduced the bipartisan Veterans Benefits Information Protection Act, legislation to combat predatory practices used by claim sharks to spam government lines with auto-dialers to collect information about veterans’ benefits.
Pappas has repeatedly called on VA to improve awareness, chairing an oversight hearing on the topic, and has introduced the GUARD VA Benefits Act in the 117th, 118th, and 119th Congresses.His GUARD VA Benefits Actwould reinstate criminal penalties for unaccredited claim representatives who charge unauthorized fees while assisting veterans with filing a claim for VA disability compensation benefits. This legislation will discourage for-profit companies from operating outside the bounds of federal law, and will give VA and other agencies an additional tool to protect veteran claimants from predatory practices.
Issues:Veterans
Position: Congressman Pappas supports legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress, restrict dark money in elections, regulate shadow lobbying, and strengthen congressional ethics enforcement through independent oversight.
Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) helped launch the End Corruption Caucus. This new caucus will work to advance legislation, bring together like-minded partners, and aim to root out corruption in government to restore the American people’s trust in their leaders.
"Trust in our government is nearing historic lows. We must root out corruption in our government, bring greater transparency to our elections, and restore Americans’ faith that their voices will be heard in our democracy,” said Congressman Pappas. “Our country faces incredibly difficult times under an administration only focused on enriching themselves and their political allies. With the End Corruption Caucus, we’re focused on fighting back. Let’s end stock trading by public officials, end shadow lobbying and its revolving door, get dark money out of politics, and make sure the government is always accountable to the people.”
Pappas helped launch the caucus alongside Congressman Jason Crow (CO-06), Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (NY-14), Congressman Mike Levin (CA-49), Congressman Wesley Bell (MO-01), and Congressman Chris Deluzio (PA-17).
Background:
Since being elected to Congress, Pappas has stood up to special interests and is leading the fight to root out corruption in our elections, including through his DISCLOSE Act to crack down on dark money’s influence on U.S. elections.
Pappas has led the fight against Members of Congress from trading stocks. Pappas has repeatedly broken with his own party in support of the stock trading ban. Following his advocacy in 2022, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi reversed course and announced legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress would be considered by the House. Pappas led a bipartisan call for a vote on legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress. In 2023, He joined 20 of his colleagues in calling for leaders of the House Committee on Administration to hold a markup on legislation that would prohibit Members of Congress from trading stocks. Pappas has also fought to change the rules of the House to include a ban on trading stocks by members of Congress.
In 2025, Pappas helped introduce the TRUST in Congress Act and cosponsors the Restore Trust in Congress Act, bills that would ban Members of Congress from trading stocks, and supported the bipartisan effort to force a vote on the latter. He also helped introduce the No Getting Rich in Congress Act, legislation toban stock trading by public officials and their families, prohibit lobbying on behalf of foreign adversaries, closes loopholes and regulates shadow lobbying, and extends existing ethics rules to spouses and dependents.
Pappas introduced the bipartisan Clean Legislating and Ethical Accountability Now (CLEAN) Act which would codify the Office of Congressional Ethics, now called the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC), the only independent internal watchdog that probes ethical breaches in Congress.
Pappas Demands VA Establish Foreclosure Moratorium for Veterans Put at Risk of Losing Their Homes
Position: Congressman Pappas and 27 colleagues call on the VA to implement a targeted foreclosure moratorium for veterans with VA-guaranteed mortgages, citing the termination of the VASP program and delays in implementing the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act, which has left thousands of veterans at risk of losing their homes.
Today Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01), a member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee (HVAC) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, led 27 of his colleagues in calling on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to immediately implement a targeted foreclosure moratorium for veterans with mortgages guaranteed under the VA Loan Guaranty Program.
This call comes following VA’s abrupt termination of the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase (VASP) program – the only VA program that guaranteed foreclosure avoidance for veterans experiencing severe financial hardship, helping them stay in their homes – and the department’s continued failure to set up new mortgage relief options under the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act, which was signed into law in July 2025.
Underscoring the veterans and their families being impacted, the lawmakers wrote, “More than 10,000 veterans have already lost their homes since the Administration abruptly terminated the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase (VASP) program in May 2025. With nearly 90,000 additional veterans currently delinquent or already in the foreclosure pipeline, veterans and their families nationwide are facing a housing crisis that is both tragic and preventable.”
Noting the administration’s gap between the termination of VASP and the rollout of a new program, they wrote, “While the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act was signed into law in July 2025 to provide a vital safety net, the program remains non-operational as of May 22, 2026. As noted in the NPR report, "Veterans Mortgages: Foreclosure VA Rescue," the gap between the expiration of previous relief programs and the rollout of this new authority has left veterans with no viable path to avoid foreclosure other than resetting to current, significantly higher market interest rates.”
They continued, “Veterans and their families should not be losing their homes simply because the administrative infrastructure for a legally authorized relief program is not yet finalized. If a veteran has a reasonable opportunity to have their home saved through the PCP under development, it would be cruel to foreclose on that veteran today.”
The letter was signed by Representatives Becca Balint (VT-AL), Nikki Budzinski (IL-13), André Carson (IN-07), Kathy Castor (FL-14), Judy Chu (CA-28), Herbert C. Conaway, Jr (NJ-03), Lou Correa (CA-46), Danny Davis (IL-07), Mark DeSaulnier (CA-10), Maxine Dexter (OR-03), Veronica Escobar (TX-16), Shomari Figures (AL,02), Sylvia R. Garcia (TX-29), Jesús “Chuy” García (IL-04), Maggie Goodlander (NH-02), Adelita S. Grijalva (AZ-07), Timothy M. Kennedy (NY-26), Rick Larsen (WA-02) John B. Larson (CT-01), Morgan McGarvey (KY-03), Kelly Morrison (MN-03), Delia Ramirez (IL-03), Andrea Salinas (OR-06), Terri Sewell (AL-07), Mike Thompson (CA-04), Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), and George Whitesides (CA-27).
Read the letter here and below:
Dear Secretary Collins,
We write to urge the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to immediately implement a targeted foreclosure moratorium for borrowers with mortgages guaranteed under the VA Loan Guaranty Program. This pause is essential to protect thousands of veterans who are currently at risk of losing their homes while the Department finalizes and implements the new Partial Claim Program (PCP) authorized by the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act of 2025.
According to recent reporting by NPR and other major outlets, more than 10,000 veterans have already lost their homes since the Administration abruptly terminated the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase (VASP) program in May 2025. With nearly 90,000 additional veterans currently delinquent or already in the foreclosure pipeline, veterans and their families nationwide are facing a housing crisis that is both tragic and preventable.
With the Administration’s decision to terminate VASP, tens of thousands of veterans lost the only option guaranteed to prevent foreclosure. While other mortgage relief options for veterans do exist, the rising number of veterans facing foreclosure clearly shows they are insufficient to meet this moment. Consequently, as Secretary only you have the power to take decisive action to prevent more veterans from losing their homes.
While the VA Home Loan Program Reform Act was signed into law in July 2025 to provide a vital safety net, the program remains non-operational as of May 22, 2026. As noted in the NPR report, "Veterans Mortgages: Foreclosure VA Rescue," the gap between the expiration of previous relief programs and the rollout of this new authority has left veterans with no viable path to avoid foreclosure other than resetting to current, significantly higher market interest rates.
Veterans and their families should not be losing their homes simply because the administrative infrastructure for a legally authorized relief program is not yet finalized. If a veteran has a reasonable opportunity to have their home saved through the PCP under development, it would be cruel to foreclose on that veteran today. A targeted moratorium would instead allow the veteran time for the Program to be offered by their lender. A foreclosure moratorium would also give VA time to align VA borrowers with those under FHA and USDA programs that already exist for those behind on payments and time for mortgage servicers to deploy the PCP.
Accordingly, we request that VA implement a targeted foreclosure moratorium until the VA Partial Claim Program is fully operational, accessible to mortgage servicers nationwide, and mortgage servicers are able to deploy the new program. Given the current potential for time-sensitive and irreversible impact on veterans, we also request a written response by June 2, 2026, to the following:
Will the Department implement a foreclosure moratorium for VA-guaranteed loans? If so, please describe the scope of that moratorium (including eligibility criteria, loan status requirements, and duration) and provide an implementation timeline.
If the Department will not implement a moratorium, please explain its rationale for that decision, identify what legal, statutory, or other constraints it believes prevent VA from doing so, and state whether VA has conducted a formal legal analysis of its authority to implement a moratorium (and if so, provide that analysis).
Our veterans served this country with the promise of a stable future and federal government dedicated to fulfilling that promise. Thank you for your immediate attention to this critical matter. We look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

Position: Congressman Pappas supports legislation to establish federal oversight and safety standards for donor human milk, treating it as a critical food product to protect premature and medically fragile newborns.
Today Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) joined Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-03) and Congresswoman Lori Trahan (MA-03) in introducing the Developing Oversight for Nutrition through the Official Regulation of Milk Act or the DONOR Milk Act, legislation that would better protect the nation’s supply of donor human milk – a lifesaving resource for premature and medically fragile newborns. The legislation is introduced in honor of World Donor Milk Day, which is May 19.
Hundreds of lawsuits in the United States now allege that preterm infant formula could be associated with a higher risk of a serious gastrointestinal illness, necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). More must be done to make donor human milk safer and more accessible.
Donor human milk is the gold standard for premature and critically ill infants when a mother's own milk is unavailable. One factor that is proven to reduce the development of NEC in premature and medically fragile newborns infants is the use of human milk. However, there must be proper federal oversight and requirements to ensure the stability of this Critical Food, as well as better coverage for it.
“New Hampshire families deserve to know that what they feed their babies is safe and of good quality,” said Congressman Pappas. “This bipartisan legislation would establish needed oversight of donor milk to ensure the safety of the supply for families and their infants. I will continue to support efforts that strengthen the health and well-being of babies, kids, and families in New Hampshire and across the country.”
“We must ensure the food we feed our babies is high quality and safe,” said Congresswoman DeLauro. “The donor milk industry is growing, and the DONOR Milk Act treats this growing industry with the seriousness it deserves – as a Critical Food vital to lifting up the next generation. This bipartisan legislation would put commonsense safeguards in place to protect newborns, and I am proud to it alongside my colleagues and with the support of milk banks across the country.”
"Premature babies and newborns in critical condition deserve the safest, highest-quality nutrition possible, and right now our federal oversight hasn't kept pace with the growing demand for donor human milk,” said Congresswoman Lori Trahan. “The DONOR Milk Act closes that gap, ensuring that when a family is fighting for their baby's life, the safety of their nutrition is one less thing they have to worry about."
“Donor milk is one of the most powerful tools we have in ensuring optimal health for premature infants,” said Scott Elster, CEO of Prolacta Bioscience. “But for too long, we have lacked a consistent set of safety standards to ensure the donor milk fed to our most vulnerable babies meets the quality required to remain contaminant free and support growth these babies need to thrive. The DONOR Milk Act will change that - and it will help make our babies healthier and stronger as a result. We are immensely grateful to Representatives DeLauro, Trahan, Van Drew, Pappas, and Dean for their leadership on this critical legislation and all of their efforts to establish safety standards for the fragile babies who need it most.”
“Donor milk is a safe, evidence-based intervention that protects premature and low birth weight infants,” said Lindsay Groff, Executive Director of Human Milk Banking Association of North America. “The DONOR Milk Act would strengthen regulatory clarity for donor milk while providing critical support for nonprofit milk banks. We appreciate the sponsors’ focus on ensuring medically vulnerable infants can receive this care.
The DONOR Milk Act would:
Designate donor human milk as a Critical food.
Which would require milks banks to notify the Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) of a discontinuance or interruption that is likely to lead to a disruption of supply not later than 5 days after such an incident occurs.
Which would also require each manufacture of a Critical Food to create a Risk Management Plan that:
Identifies/evaluate the risks of making more than one Critical Food at a facility.
Mechanisms by which a manufacturer would mitigate the impacts of a supply disruption.
Subject donor milk banks to annual inspections by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Include an authorization of appropriations (up to $8 million) to assist non-profit milk banks comply with the legislation to not affect or harm supply.
Text of the legislation is available here.
With Housing Costs a Top Concern, Pappas, Shaheen, Omar Introduce Legislation to Ensure Housing Affordability by Supporting Manufactured Housing Communities
Position: The representatives support legislation that would incentivize manufactured housing community owners to sell parks to resident cooperatives or nonprofits through a 75 percent federal tax credit on capital gains, in order to protect residents from displacement and excessive rent increases.
Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) joined U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (NH) and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (MN-05) in reintroducing the Manufactured Housing Community Sustainability Act, which would incentivize manufactured home park owners to sell the park to community residents or nonprofits, rather than another developer or landlord. As housing affordability remains a top concern for communities across New Hampshire, this legislation would allow more Americans to stay in their homes by protecting residents in manufactured homes from excessive rent increases.
Pappas secured three provisions in the House-passed amended 21st Century Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing legislative package, the most consequential piece of housing legislation in decades.
“Granite Staters deserve affordable, safe, and secure housing. Manufactured housing is an affordable homeownership option but right now it can also leave families more vulnerable to displacement and predatory practices when they don’t own the land they live on. This legislation would incentivize manufactured home park owners selling their land to sell to current residents, keeping people in their homes and empowering families in the future,” said Congressman Pappas. “I’ll continue fighting to put homeownership back in reach for all.”
“Housing has become even more unaffordable for families across the Granite State, and President Trump’s tariffs and war in Iran are only making things worse,” said Senator Shaheen. “I am committed to doing everything I can to lower the cost of housing for Granite Staters and make New Hampshire a more affordable place to live. By helping residents of manufactured housing communities buy their communities, they’ll be protected from predatory rent increases and get real relief from high costs.”
Across the United States, over 20 million Americans live in manufactured homes, with more than 150 resident-owned manufactured housing communities in New Hampshire, also known as “manufactured home parks.” The Manufactured Housing Community Sustainability Act would create a 75 percent federal tax credit offsetting capital gains if a manufactured housing community is sold to a resident-owned cooperative or nonprofit, rather than another landlord, developer or corporation. This would incentivize the sale of manufactured housing communities to the residents themselves or a non-profit—lowering costs and protecting access to affordable housing in the Granite State by shielding residents from excessive rent increases that could price them out of their homes.
The bill text can be found HERE.
In the Senate, the Manufactured Housing Community Sustainability Act is cosponsored by Senators Angus King (ME) and Richard Blumenthal (CT). The legislation is endorsed by the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund and Resident-Owned Communities USA.
“I’m excited to see Senator Shaheen reintroduce this critical bill to secure the American Dream in New Hampshire and across the country,” said Steve Saltzman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the New Hampshire Community Loan Fund. “Manufactured housing is one of the most affordable homeownership opportunities available and we know that resident-owned communities help preserve and stabilize this opportunity by putting homeowners in control. New Hampshire is now home to 152 resident-owned communities which have preserved more than 9,000 homes for Granite Staters and their families. The Manufactured Housing Community Sustainability Act is an important tool to bolster this proven model by incentivizing community owners to sell to the people who already live there, not an out-of-state investor.”
Pappas has worked to ensure Granite State communities have the resources they need to increase the affordable housing stock and tackle the housing crisis. He helped introduce the bipartisan Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act to support affordable housing financing and development by expanding and strengthening the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. He also co-leads the Supporting Projects to Unleash Residential (SPUR) Housing Act, Property Improvement and Manufactured Housing Loan Modernization Act, and the bipartisan Accelerating Home Building Act. He and the New Hampshire delegation have welcomed more than $30 million in federal grants to build more affordable housing across the Granite State.
Shaheen is leading efforts in the Senate to lower housing costs and increase the supply of affordable units for families struggling to find a place to call home. Earlier this year, Senator Shaheen secured three commonsense provisions—the Strategy and Investment in Rural Housing Preservation Act, Streamlining Rural Housing Act and the Preservation and Reinvestment Initiative in Community Enhancement (PRICE) Act in the landmark 21st Century Renewing Opportunity in the American Dream (ROAD) to Housing Act to expand supply of affordable housing, streamline construction and lower costs in the Granite State and across the country. In the bipartisan Fiscal Year 2026 Transportation, Housing and Urban Development and Related Agencies Appropriations bill, Shaheen secured upwards of $9 million in federal funding for affordable housing in New Hampshire. Recently, as part of her Affordability Action Tour, Senator Shaheen visited both West Lebanon and Laconia to discuss policy solutions to lower housing costs for communities across the state.
Pappas Leads Effort to Discharge Major Richard Star Act, Correct Injustice for Veterans
Position: Congressman Pappas supports the Major Richard Star Act, legislation that would eliminate the offset preventing medically retired veterans from receiving both their full Department of Defense retirement pay and full VA disability compensation simultaneously.
Today Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01), a member of the House Veterans’ Affairs Committee (HVAC) and Ranking Member of the Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, was the third member to sign a discharge petition for the Major Richard Star Act. This legislation currently has 330 cosponsors and would end the “wounded veteran tax”, or the offset that keeps medically retired veterans from receiving their full Department of Defense retirement pay and their full Veterans Affairs disability pay. The discharge petition was filed by House Committee on Veterans’ Affairs Ranking Member Mark Takano (CA-39) and Congressman Raul Ruiz (CA-25).
“The bipartisan Major Richard Star Act corrects a gross injustice for thousands of combat-injured veterans who are seeing their benefits drastically reduced,” said Congressman Pappas. “The bill has more than 300 bipartisan cosponsors but has not been brought to a vote on the floor. That can change if a majority of House members sign this discharge petition. We must use every tool possible to ensure our nation’s heroes receive the full benefits they earned.”
"For years, veterans have been expressing the urgent need to end the 'wounded veteran tax'. We've heard them loud and clear. Their number one priority is our priority. We must pass the Major Richard Star Act," said Ranking Member Takano. “Paying the full cost of war shouldn't be partisan; it's the right thing to do. It is time for us to act.”
“After serving and sacrificing for our nation, too many veterans face unnecessary roadblocks in receiving the benefits they need, have earned, and deserve. The Major Richard Star Act would repeal the unjust law that stands in the way of veterans receiving the military retirement pay and service-connected disability compensation that they have rightfully earned. These are not two sides of the same coin, they are two separate promises our country made to its warriors, and it is long past time we correct this. That is why we are filing this discharge petition today: Congress must act," said Congressman Ruiz.
The Major Richard Star Act is supported by Veterans of Foreign Wars, The American Legion, Wounded Warrior Project, Disabled American Veterans, and Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, and a number of other Veterans Service Organizations.
Pappas has been a cosponsor of the Major Richard Star Act every Congress since being elected in 2019.

New Hampshire Congressional Delegation Applauds Release of More Than $9.4 Million from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for New Hampshire to Address PFAS Contamination
Position: The delegation applauds the release of $9.4 million in federal funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to address PFAS contamination in New Hampshire water systems. Pappas and Hassan express opposition to the Trump administration's rollback of environmental protections and call for stronger national PFAS standards and continued federal resources.
This week Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) joined U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH),U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), and Representative Maggie Goodlander (NH-02) in applauding the release of more than $9.4 million from the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help Granite State communities and private well owners address contamination from per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). The funding is New Hampshire’s Fiscal Year 2026 allocation from the Emerging Contaminants in Small and Disadvantaged Communities program administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This funding was secured in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021, which Pappas helped pass, and can be used to help homes on private wells in addition to community water systems.
“I fought to pass the bipartisan infrastructure law to deliver needed resources to New Hampshire communities to update water infrastructure, combat harmful PFAS contamination, and strengthen access to clean, safe water,” said Congressman Pappas. “While this funding is welcome news, the Trump administration continues to roll back environmental protections and put the interests of corporate polluters ahead of the health and safety of Granite Staters and our environment. I will continue to fight for better national PFAS standards, to hold polluters accountable, and to deliver federal resources for New Hampshire.”
“Families in New Hampshire deserve to know that the water they are drinking is clean and PFAS-free, regardless of where their water supply comes from,” said Senator Shaheen. “I was proud to secure funding in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that makes this assistance possible so I’m glad to see that it will be available to the communities that will benefit, including folks who get their drinking water from a private well.”
“I am proud that the funding I worked to secure in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is helping New Hampshire towns remove PFAS and other toxic chemicals from drinking water. However, I am deeply concerned about yesterday’s announcement that the Trump Administration plans to roll back PFAS protections, making it even more important that local communities have the resources they need to keep drinking water safe. No New Hampshire family should have to worry that their drinking water is making them sick,” said Senator Hassan.
“Every Granite Stater needs reliable access to clean water and deserves to know that their water is safe and free from dangerous PFAS contamination,” said Congresswoman Goodlander. “This federal investment will make life better for hardworking people across New Hampshire, and I’ll never stop fighting to deliver every penny promised to our state.”
Pappas has been a leader in addressing PFAS and advocating for improved standards, increased investment, and a stronger national focus on PFAS contamination. On the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, Pappas led the fight for dedicated funding for PFAS and helped pass the bipartisan infrastructure law to deliver resources to New Hampshire communities. Pappas leads the Clean Water Standards for PFAS Act, legislation to establish water quality criteria and set limits on industrial PFAS discharges into water and water treatment plants. He also leads the PFAS Research and Development Reauthorization Act, the PFAS Registry Act, the PFAS-Free Procurement Act, and the No Taxation on PFAS Remediation Act.

Bipartisan U.S.-Greece Defense Cooperation Advancement Act Advances Out of Committee
Position: The representatives support reauthorization of International Military Education and Training (IMET) assistance to Greece for five years, characterizing Greece as an essential NATO ally and key partner for regional security in the Eastern Mediterranean.
This week the bipartisan U.S.-Greece Defense Cooperation Advancement Act, introduced by Representatives Chris Pappas (NH-01), Gus Bilirakis (FL-12), Dina Titus (NV-01), and Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11), co-chairs and vice co-chairs of the Hellenic Caucus, advanced out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee with strong, bipartisan support. This legislation would reauthorize International Military Education and Training (IMET) assistance to Greece for five years.
“Greece is an essential partner to the United States in ensuring regional security and prosperity. IMET assistance is a critical component of our bilateral relationship that strengthenscooperation, training, and interoperability between our Armed Forces,” said Congressman Pappas.“I’m glad my bipartisan legislation to reauthorize IMET for another five years advanced out of the Foreign Affairs Committee, and I will continue to push for its passage to strengthen cooperation with our ally, Greece, and to protect America's security interests.”
“The United States and Greece share a strong and enduring partnership rooted in our shared commitment to democracy, security, and regional stability,” said Congressman Gus Bilirakis. “As co-chair of the Hellenic Caucus, I am proud to support and applaud the U.S.-Greece Defense Cooperation Advancement Act passing out of the Foreign Affairs Committee. The bill would strengthen joint military cooperation and reinforce our alliance. Greece remains a reliable NATO ally and a key partner in the Eastern Mediterranean, and this legislation reaffirms our commitment to peace, security, and stability in the region.”
“The diplomatic relationship and defense partnership between the United States and Greece are too important to be overlooked. I am proud to join my Hellenic colleagues in supporting the US-Greece Defense Cooperation Advancement Act to ensure regional security and economic prosperity in the Eastern Mediterranean. I look forward to voting for this legislation when it comes to the House floor,” said Congresswoman Titus.
“As Vice Co-Chair of the Congressional Hellenic Caucus, I am proud to see the U.S.-Greece Defense Cooperation Advancement Act advance out of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. This important step reaffirms our strong and enduring partnership with Greece, a critical partner in advancing security and stability in the Eastern Mediterranean,” said Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis. "Strengthening the U.S.-Greece defense cooperation is more important now than ever before. This legislation will help bolster Greece’s security capabilities, support regional deterrence, and advance our shared commitment to peace, security, and democratic values.”
This legislation is endorsed by the American Hellenic Institute (AHI), AHEPA, and the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC).
Background:
Congress has recognized the significance of expanding U.S. cooperation with Greece through the Eastern Mediterranean Security and Energy Partnership Act and the United States-Greece Defense and Interparliamentary Partnership Act, which was signed into law as part of the FY2022 NDAA. The USGDIP recognized that Greece, a key NATO ally, is a pillar of stability in the Eastern Mediterranean and that the United States should remain committed to supporting the region’s security and prosperity through cooperation with Greece.
IMET appropriations for Greece help meet the increased need for education and training of the Greek Armed Forces. The funds facilitate the establishment of contacts between American and Greek officers, optimizing cooperation and interoperability between the Armed Forces of the two countries. The strategic importance of Greece at NATO’s Eastern and Southern flanks has been more reflected in recent years, including the war in Ukraine, between Israel and Hamas following the October 7th attacks, and U.S. military operations in Iran.
Pappas Follows Successful Call for House to Investigate Prediction Markets with Call for DOJ to Prosecute Suspected Insider Trading
Position: Congressman Pappas and 55 House Democrats urge the Department of Justice to pursue suspected insider trading on prediction market platforms more aggressively and to enforce existing federal anti-fraud and market manipulation laws in this context.
Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) joined Congressmen Ted W. Lieu (CA-36) and Sean Casten (IL-06) and 53 House Democrats to urge the Department of Justice (DOJ) to pursue suspected insider trading on prediction market platforms more aggressively.
Online prediction markets allow individuals to gamble on the outcomes of a wide variety of real-life events, including sports games, election outcomes, daily stock and commodity price changes, whether certain legislation being considered by Congress will be signed into law, and even geopolitical events such as the likelihood of the United States taking military action against another country or the outcome of diplomatic negotiations.
The lawmakers cautioned that: “Trading on confidential, non-public information is illegal in traditional financial markets when it involves fraud, deception, or breach of duty. Failure to enforce these laws in the context of prediction markets risks creating a regulatory gap that rewards bad actors, incentivizes misconduct, and undermines confidence in the integrity of U.S. markets.”
They closed by urging DOJ action: “We therefore urge the DOJ to continue to take decisive action against individuals who exploit prediction markets using nonpublic information for personal gain, and to rigorously enforce corporate compliance by ensuring that platforms implement effective safeguards to detect and prevent illegal activity.”
The text of the letter can be found here and below:
Dear Acting Attorney General Blanche:
We write to express serious concerns about potential insider trading on prediction market platforms. Federal anti-fraud and market manipulation laws apply to these platforms, just as they do to traditional financial markets. We urge the Department of Justice (DOJ) to further prioritize criminal investigations and civil actions targeting abuses in prediction markets to protect U.S. financial markets, investors, and the public from fraudulent conduct.
Recent suspected violations implicate significant geopolitical, sporting, and cultural events and risk creating perverse incentives for persons with access to confidential or classified information. For example, one anonymous trader has made nearly $1 million from dozens of suspiciously timed and accurate bets on military actions the U.S. has taken against Iran. Another trader with the username “Magamyman” made more than $550,000 from placing bets that Iran’s Supreme Leader would be removed, just before his assassination. In addition, ahead of the Super Bowl LX halftime show, unusually large trades were placed on Polymarket and Kalshi predicting that Lady Gaga and Ricky Martin would perform before there was any public confirmation. One social media user estimated that these suspected insiders made up to $3 million across multiple platforms. Lastly, the Nobel Institute is investigating a bet placed by a newly-created account on Venezuelan opposition leader María Machado winning the Nobel Peace Prize hours before the announcement, resulting in a profit of more than $50,000.
Trading on confidential, non-public information is illegal in traditional financial markets when it involves fraud, deception, or breach of duty. Failure to enforce these laws in the context of prediction markets risks creating a regulatory gap that rewards bad actors, incentivizes misconduct, and undermines confidence in the integrity of U.S. markets.
The DOJ has pursued several insider trading cases, including in coordination with U.S. financial market regulators, and criminally prosecuted individuals under federal wire fraud statutes. These cases include charging a Coinbase employee for tipping off others with insider information in order to trade cryptocurrencies, prosecuting Biotech’s CEO for misleading investors and engaging in insider trading in connection with Covid-19 and HIV drugs, and bringing charges against individuals who participated in an alleged insider trading scheme involving cancer treatment companies. The DOJ is poised to play an important role in addressing insider trading on prediction markets platforms, while U.S. financial regulators continue to divert their resources towards litigating against states and leave these abuses largely unaddressed.
U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Jay Clayton has stated that just “because it’s a prediction market, [it] doesn’t insulate you from fraud.” We appreciate that the DOJ recently took action against a U.S. soldier for allegedly using classified information to make profitable prediction market bets related to the U.S. mission that captured Venezuela’s leader.
At the same time, reports that the DOJ dropped its criminal investigation into Polymarket in July 2025, regarding whether the platform had been illegally serving U.S. customers, raise concerns about consistency in enforcement. Polymarket had previously been banned from the U.S. for operating as an unregistered platform and paid a $1.4 million civil penalty under a 2022 settlement agreement. Taken together, these developments risk undermining confidence in the DOJ’s commitment to also holding companies accountable for breaking the law.
We understand that this Administration is increasingly focused on gains in the U.S. stock market. That performance depends on integrity and accountability. We therefore urge the DOJ to continue to take decisive action against individuals who exploit prediction markets using nonpublic information for personal gain, and to rigorously enforce corporate compliance by ensuring that platforms implement effective safeguards to detect and prevent illegal activity.
Sincerely,
Background:
Earlier this week, Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) called on Congressman James Comer (KY-01), the Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight, to formally open an investigation into corruption and insider trading occurring in online prediction markets by subpoenaing internal records from these markets. On Wednesday morning, during an appearance on FOX, Comer confirmed that he is beginning an investigation and that subpoenas may follow.
Pappas supports thePublic Integrity in Financial Prediction Markets Act of 2026, which bans members of Congress and government employees from trading on political prediction markets when they have or could easily get inside information through their jobs, and has led the fight to ban Members of Congress from trading stocks and to strengthen ethical standards across all branches of government since entering Congress.
Pappas leads legislation to codify the Office of Congressional Ethics, now called the Office of Congressional Conduct (OCC), the only independent internal watchdog that probes ethical breaches in Congress.
Pappas has repeatedly broken with his own party in support of a stock trading ban. Following his advocacy in 2022, then-Speaker Nancy Pelosi reversed course and announced legislation to ban stock trading by members of Congress would be considered by the House. Pappas has also fought to change House rules to include a ban on members of Congress trading stocks.
Over the course of the 119th Congress, Pappas has helped introduce the TRUST in Congress Act and the No Getting Rich in Congress Act and supports the bipartisan effort to force a vote on the Restore Trust in Congress Act. He is also a cosponsor of the Fighting Foreign Influence Act.
Pappas Leads NH Delegation in Urging Dept. of Education to Fund TRIO Upward Bound Programs
Position: The delegation urges the Department of Education to promptly issue Grant Award Notifications for TRIO Upward Bound programs for fiscal year 2026 and restore congressionally-approved funding for related education programs, citing delays that disrupt services to low-income students and first-generation college-bound students.
Congressman Chris Pappas (NH-01) led a letter along with Senator Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Senator Maggie Hassan (NH), and Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander (NH-02) to Education Secretary Linda McMahon and OMB Director Russell Vought, expressing deep concerns about the Department of Education’s delay in issuing Grant Award Notifications (GANs) for fiscal year 2026 TRIO Upward Bound programs.
TRIO supports individuals from low-income backgrounds, students who would be the first person in their families to earn college degrees, students with disabilities, among others, in accessing and achieving postsecondary success.
In their letter, the lawmakers said: “We write to express our deep concern regarding the Department of Education’s (Department) delay in issuing Grant Award Notifications (GANs) for fiscal year (FY) 2026 TRIO Upward Bound programs that begin on June 1. For the second year in a row, GANs have not been sent to grantee institutions in a timely manner, creating unnecessary disruption to essential programming and uncertainty for the students and educators who depend on the critical services that these federal funds help to provide.”
They continued: “We are particularly concerned about the damage being caused by the Department’s delayed notification to the University of New Hampshire’s (UNH) Upward Bound program which faced similar delays in FY25. UNH’s program is slated to begin June 1. They only have enough carry over funding for roughly one month before they would need to lay off staff and shutter a program that has had such a significant positive impact on the lives of so many Granite Staters.”
They concluded:“We urge you to act without further delay to ensure that TRIO programs can operate on schedule and provide the services that New Hampshire’s students and those across the country are counting on. We look forward to your prompt response.”
The delegation also demanded answers to a number of questions regarding the nature of the funding delays and for an explanation as to when New Hampshire can expect to receive these funds.
Background:
Pappas and the New Hampshire delegation called on the Trump administration to restore Congressionally-approved funding for New Hampshire programs, the Education Alliance for New Hampshire’s Statewide Family Engagement Center grant, and TRIO grants for the University of New Hampshire’s (UNH) Talent Search and McNair programs. They also called on the administration to restore funding for New Hampshire’s Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP).
In October 2025, Pappas held a roundtable discussion with McNair Scholar students at the University of New Hampshire, staff, and alumni on the Trump administration's cancellation of federal funding for the program and its impact on them.
Following their advocacy, it was announced earlier this year that funding would be restored for the McNair and Educational Talent Search programs, and the delegation continues to advocate against efforts by the Trump administration to weaken and undermine other TRIO programs.

Dear Secretary McMahon and Director Vought:
We write to express our deep concern regarding the Department of Education’s (Department) delay in issuing Grant Award Notifications (GANs) for fiscal year (FY) 2026 TRIO Upward Bound programs that begin on June 1. For the second year in a row, GANs have not been sent to grantee institutions in a timely manner, creating unnecessary disruption to essential programming and uncertainty for the students and educators who depend on the critical services that these federal funds help to provide.
The TRIO Programs are a cornerstone of our nation’s commitment to educational access and upward mobility. TRIO supports individuals from low-income backgrounds, students who would be the first person in their families to earn college degrees, students with disabilities, among others, in accessing and achieving postsecondary success. From personalized tutoring to personal mentoring and advising, to assistance applying for and identifying funding options, TRIO programs make a real difference in a student’s ability to attend and complete college. These programs are evidence-based and results-driven. TRIO graduates, according to the Department of Education’s own data, are more likely to enroll in higher education and earn their degrees than non-TRIO students with similar backgrounds. For these reasons, TRIO programs have long enjoyed strong bipartisan support in Congress. They reflect a shared national value—every American, regardless of their zip code, deserves the chance to pursue higher education and the American dream.
Sadly, this is not the first we have seen of ongoing delays in issuing GANs which are having real-world consequences in our home state of New Hampshire. We are particularly concerned about the damage being caused by the Department’s delayed notification to the University of New Hampshire’s (UNH) Upward Bound program which faced similar delays in FY25. UNH’s program is slated to begin June 1. They only have enough carry over funding for roughly one month before they would need to lay off staff and shutter a program that has had such a significant positive impact on the lives of so many Granite Staters. Currently, the program serves 115 students across 11 schools, and 98% of them have persisted to the next grade level or on-time graduation, and 97% of graduates have enrolled in college in the fall too.
A core component of UNH’s Upward Bound program is the operation of the Summer Academy which begins June 21, with staff training and move-in starting June 13. With summer programming rapidly approaching, these delays and uncertainty threaten to undermine planning, staffing, and student participation and long-term educational success. Accordingly, we respectfully request responses to the following questions no later than May 30, 2026.
Will the Department of Education commit to issuing GANs for FY26 TRIO programs ahead of June 1?
If not, when will you issue them?
What specific factors have caused the Department to, once again, miss its usual timelines for delivering GANs to grantees?
We urge you to act without further delay to ensure that TRIO programs can operate on schedule and provide the services that New Hampshire’s students and those across the country are counting on. We look forward to your prompt response.
Sincerely,
