August 2nd, 2026 – I HAVE lived the American story. From humble beginnings that began at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard to serving as a United States Senator, and then as President Trump’s Ambassador, and as a proud husband, father, and grandfather, I have seen firsthand what makes this country strong. I have always believed that New Hampshire represents the best of America: fierce independence, hard work and common sense.
That is why I am running for the United States Senate.
Today, under the leadership of President Trump, America is getting back on track. We are securing our border, rebuilding our economy, standing up to China and restoring our standing in the world. These gains must be protected. If we send the wrong people to Washington, we risk going backward into the chaos, weakness, and the failed policies of the Biden years.
The likely Democratic candidate, Congressman Chris Pappas, is a nice guy, but in Washington, he supported the Biden agenda at every turn while Granite Staters paid the price. During the Biden years, illegal border crossings reached all-time highs, gas prices passed five dollars a gallon and inflation spiked to levels not seen since the Carter Administration. Families here in New Hampshire felt it every day at the grocery store, at the gas pump, and on their utility bills.
Congressman Pappas was not an innocent bystander, but an active enabler. Instead of getting tough on the border, he supported incentives for people to come here illegally. He voted for runaway spending that helped ignite inflation. He even supported biological men to compete in women’s sports and enter girls’ locker rooms. That betrayed our daughters, our granddaughters, and every female athlete.
Now Pappas wants a promotion to the United States Senate where, at the age of 45, he could spend the next four decades.
Let me be clear about what I stand for.
First, I will work to protect and strengthen the progress President Trump has made on border security. Under his leadership, illegal border crossings have dropped to zero (yes, zero) and deportations have increased. The word is out: lawlessness in our country is over. I will fight for permanent policy reforms, including tough asylum rules, national E-Verify, and a merit-based immigration system that puts American workers and families first.
Second, I will help keep inflation down and preserve the New Hampshire Advantage. Our state believes in low taxes and limited government. We should not be punished by one-size-fits-all policies from Washington. I will oppose any effort to bring back Biden-era spending schemes like the so-called “Inflation Reduction Act” supported by every member of our federal delegation. I will support pro-growth policies that reward work and support small businesses, not burden them with red tape and regulation, or demonize them, as the socialist wing of the Democratic Party seeks to do.
Third, I will defend the rights of parents and protect women’s sports. During the Biden-Pappas years, extremists tried to erase biological reality and silence families. I will never back down from standing with parents, with women and girls, and with basic common sense.
Finally, I will represent the values of New Hampshire, not the agenda of Washington. I live in Rye. I go to church here. I buy my groceries here. My grandchildren are growing up here. I am not doing this for a title. I am doing this to secure the future. You won’t see me in Washington forever. I’ve always supported term limits, and will do no more than two if elected.
New Hampshire deserves an independent-minded Senator who will not cave to party leaders, media pressure, or lobbyist influence. You deserve someone who will fight for your interests and deliver results that matter.
I’ve got a proven track record of results. I was confirmed 94 to 4 as a United States Ambassador. I passed bipartisan legislation in the Senate. I have served in the military and on the front lines of diplomacy. I have the experience, the record, and the resolve to deliver for this state once again.
Together, we can protect the progress we have made. We can reject the failed legacy of the Biden-Pappas era. We will keep New Hampshire and America moving forward and fight for a better America for all.
