PORTSMOUTH — U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas met with city officials Wednesday to talk about what he sees as missteps by the Trump administration that are affecting federal funding for local communities.
The Democratic 1st District congressman told city officials that “as so much pressure is being put on local taxpayers, on local leadership, we need to make sure the federal government is a good partner that you can count on.”
