CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Democratic U.S. Rep. Annie Kuster of New Hampshire says she is optimistic that bipartisan deals can be struck on immigration reform and infrastructure spending when her party takes control of the House next year.
But she also insisted Wednesday in an interview with The Associated Press that Democrats would not shy away from providing a check on President Donald Trump and his administration, insisting that increased oversight would not undermine efforts to pass meaningful legislation. In voting for Democrats, she said the American people want Democrats to play that watchdog role.
Kuster won a fourth term in the 2nd District, which covers the northern and western parts of the state. Kuster benefited from greater name recognition and raised more money than her opponent, Republican state lawmaker Steve Negron.
