Today Representatives Chris Pappas (NH-01) and Annie Kuster (NH-02) along with their Senate colleagues Senators Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) and Maggie Hassan (D-NH) sent a letter to the Secretary Steven Mnuchin calling on the Treasury to make adjustments to the Payroll Protection Program (PPP) so that it can more effectively serve the needs of Granite State small businesses.

Legislation would provide an estimated $1.5 billion to New Hampshire cities, towns and counties to sustain essential services, and $3.5 billion to the state government. It also includes nearly $30 million for planning, preparation, and resilience of state elections.
