CHRIS PAPPAS: YES ON ALL SEVEN HUMANITARIAN QUESTIONS

Chris Pappas, Democrat running for the Senate in NH is the first to answer our questionnaire about candidate positions on humanitarian aid. Chris was clear and direct on all our questions, as you will see below.

1. RESTORING THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS

Will you support restoring U.S. funding and programs that have been cut, withheld or disrupted for HIV/AIDS prevention, testing and treatment, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa?

Response: YES

2. PROTECTING PEPFAR

Will you support full and sustained funding for PEPFAR and oppose efforts to weaken its ability to deliver HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment?

Response: YES

3. HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION

Will you support U.S. humanitarian programs addressing famine, severe hunger and childhood malnutrition in Africa and elsewhere?

Response: YES

4. GLOBAL HEALTH

Will you support U.S. programs fighting malaria, tuberculosis and other preventable infectious diseases affecting vulnerable populations?

Response: YES

5. AMERICA'S HUMANITARIAN RESPONSIBILITY

Do you believe the United States, as one of the world's wealthiest nations, has a responsibility to help protect vulnerable people beyond our borders when American assistance can save lives?

Response: YES

6. POLITICAL COURAGE

If legislation restoring lifesaving humanitarian assistance came before the Senate, and your vote could determine the outcome, would you vote to restore that assistance even if your party's leadership opposed it?

Response: YES

7. LEADERSHIP

Would you publicly advocate for that position and encourage members of your own party to join you?

Response: YES

We created Humanitarian Senate Watch 2026 as a response to the DOGE assault on foreign aid which is resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths. The Senate has the power to preserve humanitarian aid to vulnerable populations. We are asking candidates in key Senate races to voice their positions. Chris Pappas has answered the call. We are waiting for his opponent’s response.
