New Hampshire Today: Interview with Congressman Chris Pappas

In an interview with Chris Ryan, the Representative from New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, Chris Pappas, discusses the next COVID relief package and the possibility of both parties working together on it; comments on Marjorie Taylor Greene, the extremely controversial Republican Congresswoman from Georgia; supports President Biden’s record use of Executive Orders in the first weeks of his administration; and talks about his appointment as Co-Chair of the House Small Business Caucus.

Congressman Pappas would prefer for Congress to put together a bipartisan COVID relief spending bill, but it is a very complicated process. Chris Pappas admits that this is a difficult process, and the Democrats are willing to go it alone.

The outlandish and inflammatory remarks of freshman Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene have drawn national attention. Congressman Pappas is concerned that Representative Greene has been assigned to the House Education and Labor Committee. Greene has claimed that school shootings are hoaxes which have been staged, as part of a huge conspiracy, with the goal of limiting second amendment rights.

For now, Congressman Pappas hopes that the House Republican leadership will pull Marjorie Taylor Greene from any important committees and will police her extreme comments in the future.

In his first weeks in office, President Biden has issued twenty-eight Executive Orders. Congressman Pappas believes that most of the orders were needed to overturn policies of President Trump and many of the orders needed to be done during the pandemic.

Congressman Pappas has been made the Co-chair of the House Bipartisan Small Business Caucus which is a group of 70 lawmakers committed to strengthening small businesses throughout the country. Most of the members, like Chris Pappas, came to Congress with a background of owning small businesses. The Congressman looks forward to representing the needs of small businesses in any future legislation.
