Today, we are excited to introduce you to U.S. Representative Ann McLane Kuster.
U.S. Representative Ann McLane Kuster was first elected to Congress in 2012 and has represented New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District for six terms. Throughout her time in Congress, she has been a tremendous advocate for not just the Granite State, but the entire New England region. The Congresswoman has fought to advance federal policies that create good-paying jobs and increase economic opportunities for New Hampshire residents. As the founder and co-chair of the Bipartisan Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Task Force, she has been a leader in efforts to combat addiction and expand access to behavioral health services. In the 118th Congress, Congresswoman Kuster has served as Chair of the New Democrat Coalition, a group of 100 House Democrats dedicated to breaking through partisan gridlock to advance innovative, inclusive, and forward-looking policies. In March 2024, Rep. Kuster announced that she would not run for reelection and would retire from Congress at the end of her current term.
