Health care and the opioid crisis

It means building a tax system that works for hardworking Granite Staters by delivering tax breaks for working families – not handouts to billionaires and big corporations. It means protecting the rights of workers, including to collectively bargain, and raising the minimum wage. It also means legalizing marijuana at the federal level and delivering meaningful and much-needed criminal justice reforms.

Abortion, contraception, and IVF
Candidate positionThe day Roe v. Wade was overturned, Maggie was working at the Justice Department and helped launch its Reproductive Rights Task Force to ensure patients and providers across America had access to the legal assistance they needed in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs.

In Congress, Maggie will fight like hell to defend access to the full range of reproductive healthcare, including abortion, contraceptives, and IVF.

Technology, privacy, and civil liberties
Candidate positionAmerican companies are the most innovative in the world. Advancements in artificial intelligence and blockchain technology carry enormous promise. Artificial intelligence could help us meet some of our country’s biggest challenges – from the climate crisis to deadly diseases like cancer. Blockchain technologies and their applications could help empower Americans to be the true owners of our own data and be true stakeholders in the digital economy. But like most Granite Staters, Maggie is deeply concerned about the ways in which some in the tech industry have exploited sensitive personal data, put our children, consumers, and workers at risk, violated civil rights, and tilted the playing field to undermine competition and crush small businesses. We need to modernize our laws and regulations to empower the innovation that America needs to remain the global leader in the development of these important technologies – not countries like China or Russia.

Immigration and border policy
Candidate positionMaggie is ready on day one in Congress to fight for a fair deal and deliver results on the priorities that matter most for New Hampshire. She is an independent leader who knows how to get things done. As a senior advisor in the United States Senate, Maggie was proud to help craft the bipartisan “Gang of Eight” comprehensive immigration reform bill that passed the Senate in 2012 and continues to be the framework for legislation to deliver a fairer immigration system that provides a path to citizenship for those already here, secures our borders, and curbs the flow of fentanyl across our border. We are facing the deadliest drug threat in our history – more Americans between the ages of 18 and 49 die from opioid overdoses than any other cause. In Congress, Maggie will fight to stop fentanyl from flowing into our communities, to bring to justice those who put it there, and to deliver life-saving medication and care across New Hampshire and our nation.
