The New Hampshire delegation and other members of Congress will attend the event, which exhibits Granite State businesses and their first-class products in the U.S. Capitol. This year\u2019s event marks the New Hampshire State Society\u2019s 13th year hosting the reception.\n\n\u201cEach year, Experience New Hampshire brings our state\u2019s incredible small businesses to our nation\u2019s capital to share their unique products and services as well as Granite State culture,\u201d said Congressman Pappas. \u201cSmall businesses drive our economy and way of life, and I\u2019m pleased to once again join our federal delegation in welcoming guests to this popular event and look forward to seeing local New Hampshire businesses in Washington.\u201d\n\n\u201cNew Hampshire is home to some of the greatest small businesses in the country and this event provides an annual opportunity to showcase their diverse products and talents on a national stage,\u201d said Senator Shaheen. \u201cYear after year I am blown away by the goods and services our small businesses bring to DC, thanks to the New Hampshire State Society, which helps make the event an annual success. From chocolate to hot sauce, these businesses will share our state\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit and talent with folks in Washington.\u201d\n\n\u201cExperience New Hampshire is a showcase for New Hampshire\u2019s thriving small business ecosystem,\u201d said Senator Hassan. \u201cThis annual event highlights the diversity of our small business community \u2014 from our thriving outdoor recreation sector to our vibrant small farms, local eateries, and maple producers. It is always great to have Granite Staters in the Capitol and it is particularly exciting when entrepreneurs and New Hampshire enthusiasts come together for this yearly celebration \u2014 the room bustles with the unique energy and goodwill that reflects our state at its best. It\u2019s really fun to share this spirit with people from all across the country.\u201d\n\n\u201cOur Granite State small business owners and entrepreneurs demonstrate why New Hampshire is such a wonderful place to live, work, and raise a family,\u201d said Congresswoman Kuster. \u201cExperience New Hampshire is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate and recognize the talents and contributions of our state\u2019s business leaders and communities. I want to thank Senator Shaheen and the New Hampshire State Society for organizing this event year after year and I\u2019m looking forward to another fantastic night!\"", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:11:47Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://pappas.house.gov/media/press-releases/nh-delegation-announces-13th-experience-new-hampshire-reception-in-washington-dc"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.1144031304866076, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
