Thank you to @KellyAyotte, Chief Marr, and law enforcement leaders from across New Hampshire for joining us this morning to discuss bail reform. The results are clear: these reforms have made our communities safer. Public safety and the protection of victims must remain the priority, and this law has given law enforcement stronger tools to address violent and repeat offenders.

It was great to join students, staff, and community partners for the opening of the new Outdoor Classroom at McLaughlin Middle School. This new space will give students an opportunity to learn outdoors while exploring STEM, nature, and the environment in a hands on way. Thanks to the partnership between SNHU, the Manchester Department of Parks and Recreation, along with the dedication of Mr. David Elliot, Principal Kelly Williams, and many hardworking students and volunteers, this vision became a reality. This is a tremendous addition to the McLaughlin community and a space that students will enjoy and learn from for many years to come.
