Streamlining and reducing regulations for professional licensure is critical to keeping New Hampshire’s economy one of the strongest in the nation.

Advocates from across the spectrum on the frontlines of providing care and support services have spoken loud and clear: Rep. Edwards’ floor amendment to HB49 must be supported. It’s what’s right for our kids and families to build a safer, healthier community.

The U.S. spends a mere 0.3% of its GDP on early education & child care—while U.S. parents spend roughly 19% of their wages on care costs.
For comparison: Iceland allocates ~1.8% of its GDP for child care—so parents spend just 5% of their earnings. cnbc.com/2023/03/05/best-cou…

This is great, but who will take care of the children while the cranes are operating and factories open? Please, please, please pay attention to child care. #childcare

Cranes in the air
Factories opening up

Respectfully, @POTUS you have left child care teachers out again. Many public school teachers need child care to go to work. And a reminder,
most child care teachers do not have health care or retirement benefits. Please figure out how to give child care teachers a raise too.

With a funding cliff looming, it’s time for Congress to come together on a bipartisan basis to avert the collapse of the child care industry. New from @ehaspel. deseret.com/2022/11/20/23466…
Thank you for your sacrifice, Officer Briggs.
Today Manchester Police Officers held a graveside ceremony for Officer Michael Briggs who died in line of duty 16 years ago. He was 35 years old and had been with the MPD for 5 yrs.
Officer Briggs and his sacrifice will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service.
