Leonard is running to flip State Senate District 18 and is exactly the kind of servant leader we need right now in Concord – someone with a demonstrated commitment to service and a track record of leadership who is stepping up once again to serve our country and community.

We are just over a month out from a critical election, and it was great to spend the day earlier this week knocking doors with my friend and Navy Veteran Leonard Bell in Manchester Ward 6.

Portsmouth Pride! What a joyful and fun and weekend! It is so important to show that the Granite State is a place where everyone has the freedom to be themselves, and live life fully! That is the Live Free or Die way. Happy Pride to all! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌈💕

I’m grateful to my mom, my mother-in-law, my sisters, and all the moms out there who continue to show up with love and nurturing when it matters most. Also thinking today of those for whom this day is hard or brings mixed emotions. We see you and honor you today, too. 🙏💕 #NHPolitics

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there! Couldn’t ask for a better day than going for a hike with the kids. Running for Congress with three under five years old isn’t easy, but it’s so important for New Hampshire families to have this perspective in the rooms where policy gets made. 🧵

It's time to ban corporate PACs, end congressional stock trading & overturn Citizens United because public service should be about serving the public, not enriching yourself or helping your donors. That’s the fight I’ll take to Washington. Read my anti-corruption platform maurafornh.com/priorities

I met Curtis through my work on Congressman Chris Pappas's Veterans Advisory Committee. He's a dedicated public servant, whether in the Marines in Iraq or now as a Durham Town Councilor. I'm proud to call him a friend & honored to have earned his support. Thank you, Curtis. Semper Fi. #NHPolitics

I’m forever grateful to the teachers whose hard work and commitment set me up so well, and I’m deeply committed to ensuring that every kid in New Hampshire has the same access to a first-rate public education that I did. Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day! #NHPolitics

Public education was a first-date conversation for me and my husband. It's what made our lives possible. I never would have served our country as a Marine officer or had the opportunity to work for President Obama without it. 🧵

What $25 Billion Spent on the War in Iran Really Means
It exceeds the annual budgets of numerous federal agencies, and the Pentagon’s yearly budget for munitions.

Maura Sullivan @maurasullivan.bsky.social · 05/05/2026
Right now, Trump is spending our tax dollars on this reckless war in Iran, & Granite Staters are paying the price. The Pentagon has already spent $25 billion – about $190 per American household – & that's before you count what this war is doing to the price of gas, groceries, & everything else. ➡️

Unions built the middle class & remain critical as we build an economy that serves working people – not just the wealthy & well-connected. In Congress, I'll be a champion for union labor because everyone deserves dignity & agency on the job. Great chatting with folks in Durham today. Happy May Day!

Thank you to Tara and Nick for hosting last night in Durham – and for providing childcare. Because of that, more young families were able to show up and be part of the democratic process. And of course, seeing all the little ones was a highlight! #NHPolitics

It affects who can work, when they can work, and what resources families have for their kids. And it’s an area where it deeply matters who’s in the room making policy, and what experiences they’ve had.

Some of my proudest work was at the Pentagon, expanding access to childcare for military families. Affordable, accessible childcare is a foundational economic issue affecting families everywhere, both in the military and across NH. 🧵

Workers at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard protect our national security. Unions help ensure they can do it safely, with fair pay and benefits. Ending these agreements doesn't make America stronger, but it does put workers at risk. #NHPolitics www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...

Union agreements terminated at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard
Union workers at the shipyard expressed concerns that losing collective bargaining protections could adversely affect safety, pay, and working conditions.

Strong public education is at the heart of the American promise: that everyone, no matter where they come from or who their parents are, has a fair shot to get ahead. Without access to high-quality education, that promise slips away.

Calling for the death of a civilization is evil. There are millions of innocent children and families in Iran, just like here. We are America, & this is not what we do or who we are. The President is unhinged. Members of Congress & the cabinet: find your humanity. Do not just stand by. #NHPolitics

First, they went after snowbirds, seniors & ppl with disabilities by eliminating affidavits. Now students. Next, it's married women through the SAVE Act. NH has a strong tradition of election integrity. This is a solution in search of a problem. #NHPolitics newhampshirebulletin.com/briefs/ayott...

I don't come from a wealthy or well-connected family, but I worked hard, had a great public education, served my country & pursued the American Dream. I want everyone to have that chance, no matter who you are or where you're from. That’s the promise of this country, & it’s time we made good on it.

I know what it is like to look at the future and feel anxiety about costs: to not know if you can afford college, if you’re going to get a good job, if you can afford health insurance, pay your rent, pay off those loans, and build a life.

Marines spend 13 weeks training separated from their families and swear a solemn oath to defend our country. Now ICE is checking papers at graduation & potentially deporting their families. Marines and their families deserve so much better. #NHPolitics www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

ICE agents will be stationed outside Marine Corps graduation events in South Carolina
As the U.S. continues to fight the war in Iran, the Marine Corps has boosted protection measures on bases, requiring everyone to present REAL IDs, passports or birth certificates to access any sites.
