Congresswoman Ann Kuster shares how she's been inspired by the #MeToo movement and how her own experiences have shaped her efforts to support bipartisan legislation to end sexual assault and harassment. Ann McLane Kuster has served as the U.S. Representative for New Hampshire's Second Congressional District since 2013. She came to Washington determined to put an end to the gridlock, and during her time in office she has established a record of working across the aisle to get things done for her constituents in the Granite State. A strong advocate for seniors, students, veterans, and women and their families, Annie has always been committed to fighting for the issues that matter most to Granite Staters, like increasing access to higher education and affordable health care, and cutting waste, fraud, and abuse in the federal government to ensure our taxpayer dollars are used wisely.
