Governor Maggie Hassan issued the following statement today on the Senate's 23-0 vote in favor of the Paycheck Fairness Act:

"Today's unanimous Senate vote to pass the Paycheck Fairness Act is an overwhelming, bipartisan affirmation of the principle that an equal day's work deserves an equal day's pay. This common-sense measure to help eliminate the pay gap between women and men will strengthen our economy and the financial security of working families across our state.
