Maggie Goodlander (D-NH) visited Franklin Pierce University’s Rindge campus Wednesday, meeting with administrators about funding challenges and holding a town hall with students to discuss issues ranging from education and housing to health care. Goodlander began her visit with a tour of the university’s Marcucella Health Sciences building, where she learned about Franklin Pierce programs and discussed the need for state and federal support to improve undergraduate enrollment and retention, develop New Hampshire’s workforce and expand the university’s health professions programs that serve rural communities. During the town hall, Goodlander spoke with students pursuing education-related careers about school funding. “I really believe education is the guardrail in democracy,” said Goodlander, when speaking on the importance of education, adding that she is concerned about what she described as the “systematic dismantling” of the U.S. Department of Education. She also addressed New Hampshire’s housing crisis, saying the state must balance school funding — which relies heavily on property taxes — with keeping housing affordable. Goodlander said the average age of a first-time homebuyer in New Hampshire is now 40. “That’s a grim outlook,” Goodlander said. Goodlander said property taxes are part of the issue, but so are limited housing supply and rising costs such as utilities. U.S. Rep. Maggie Goodlander speaks to Franklin Pierce students in a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday. ASHLEY SAARI / Ledger-Transcript She said the housing crisis is also tied to the way the state funds education, noting that as federal funding streams for schools decline, property taxes increase. “Something’s going to have to give,” Goodlander said. Changing how schools are funded would be difficult, she said, likely requiring changes to state law and possibly the New Hampshire Constitution. Still, she said conversations with communities across the state suggest the current reliance on pr","source_url":"https://goodlander.house.gov/media/in-the-news/monadnock-ledger-transcript-goodlander-highlights-funding-challenges-for-new-hampshire-schools-and-universities/","source_date":null}],"committees":[{"committee_name":"House Armed Services","role":"Member","chamber":"house"},{"committee_name":"House Small Business","role":"Member","chamber":"house"},{"committee_name":"House Small Business Subcommittee","role":"Member","chamber":"house"}],"finance":[],"vote_count":423,"vote_summary":[{"vote":"Yea","count":197},{"vote":"Nay","count":119},{"vote":"No","count":89},{"vote":"Aye","count":10},{"vote":"Present","count":6},{"vote":"Jeffries","count":2}],"vote_topics":[{"topic":"Procedural","count":50},{"topic":"Economy","count":46},{"topic":"National Security","count":39},{"topic":"Climate","count":29},{"topic":"Energy & Minerals","count":27},{"topic":"Education","count":27},{"topic":"Criminal Justice","count":25},{"topic":"Healthcare","count":23},{"topic":"Voting Rights","count":19},{"topic":"Foreign Policy","count":18}],"recent_votes":[{"bill_id":"hr5334-119","bill_title":"An Act to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to allow early childhood educators to take the educator expense deduction, and for other purposes","vote":"Nay","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":"Taxes","source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll308.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr9576-119","bill_title":"National Fraud Enforcement Division Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll309.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr10326-119","bill_title":"PROOF Act","vote":"Nay","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll310.xml"},{"bill_id":"hjres213-119","bill_title":"Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule issued by the Environmental Protection Agency relating to the “California State Nonroad Engine Pollution Control Standards; Commercial Harbor Craft Regulations; Notice of Decision”","vote":"Nay","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":"Climate","source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll311.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr9340-119","bill_title":"Ratepayer Protection Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":"Climate","source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll312.xml"},{"bill_id":"hr9497-119","bill_title":"Water Resources Development Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll313.xml"},{"bill_id":"s2403-119","bill_title":"Retire through Ownership Act","vote":"Yea","vote_date":"2026-09-16","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll314.xml"},{"bill_id":"hres1486-119","bill_title":"Impeaching Donald John Trump, President of the United States, for high crimes and misdemeanors","vote":"Present","vote_date":"2026-09-15","chamber":"house","topic":null,"source_url":"https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2026/roll298.xml"},{"bill_id":"hres1530-119","bill_title":"Providing for consideration of the bills H.R. 9576 and H.R. 10326, providing for consideration of the joint resolutions H.J.
