American taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for crop insurance companies and large farms to turn a profit on federal crop subsidies. My legislation would save Americans billions of dollars and increase transparency, all while getting help to the farmers who need it most.

President Trump promised to cut energy bills in half within a year. But instead, Granite Staters paid $140 more on their electricity bills in 2025 than the year before. Now his war against Iran is making things worse. Americans cannot afford this President’s economic chaos.
NEW DATA: Families Paid Even More For Electricity Under Trump Than Previously Projected
The Joint Economic Committee – Minority released a new report on nationwide and state-by-state changes in electricity costs from 2024 to 2025.

Equal Pay Day is an annual reminder that America's working women still face a troubling pay gap in the workplace. In New Hampshire, women working full-time earn just 81% of what men do. There's no excuse. It's time to make equal pay for equal work a reality.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 25(source)
The Trump Administration’s move to restrict abortion access for our veterans endangers the health and wellbeing of those who gave everything to defend our country. Our veterans deserve better than the carelessness of this Administration.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 25(source)
On Diabetes Alert Day, we reaffirm our commitment to ensuring all those with diabetes have access to the management resources they need. I introduced my INSULIN Act to do just that—capping insulin costs so patients don't have to choose between their health and finances.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 24(source)
The Trump Administration is fighting hard to shut Granite State students out of higher education opportunities. Higher education offers new pathways to a brighter future for our next generation. The decision to cut funding to support America’s students is a travesty.

Today is National Agriculture Day! From sap houses to dairy farms to orchards, our farmers are integral to our state's culture and local economies. Let's celebrate our Granite State farmers and the critical work they do to provide all of us with fresh, locally grown food.

I do not have confidence that Senator Mullin has the willingness or vision to undertake urgently-needed reforms at the Department of Homeland Security to rebuild trust following Secretary Noem’s disastrous tenure. My full statement on tonight's vote:
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 23(source)
16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law—giving tens of thousands of Granite Staters health insurance access. I'm proud of all the ACA accomplished, but the work isn’t done. We must keep fighting to lower health care costs and expand access to American families.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 22(source)
On World Water Day, we remember that clean drinking water is a priceless resource. With this Administration working to dismantle safeguards for clean water, we must protect the rivers, lakes and streams that supply our drinking water and provide treasured places for recreation.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 20(source)
Since March of last year, Americans have been forced to pay $166 billion in illegal tariff costs—with New Hampshire alone paying $510 million. The President's unlawful tariffs are costing my constituents their hard-earned dollars. This reckless trade policy must end now.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 20(source)
The Trump Administration's gutting of federal agencies has left Americans stranded in the Middle East and weakened our ability to defend against cyber threats. Worst of all: They fired the very FBI staff tasked with tracking threats from Iran. www.cnn.com/2026/03/10/p...
‘A shell of our former self’: How Trump and Musk’s spending cuts are hampering US government readiness amid the Iran war | CNN Politics
Government cuts under Trump’s second term weakened U.S. emergency, security, and foreign response capabilities, now under scrutiny amid Middle East conflict.

The Education Alliance of NH has for decades provided critical resources for Granite State students to help them excel. It is a travesty that President Trump’s reckless cuts have forced them to close. The President is choosing to leave New Hampshire students behind.
Nonprofit helping 5,000 students prep for higher ed closes its doors
A nonprofit providing access to college for more than 5,000 New Hampshire students has closed its doors after concluding it can’t survive Trump administration moves to cut $20 million in

With historically high prices, affordable housing is out of reach for far too many Granite Staters. Earlier this week, I spoke with my constituent, Kerry, to hear her story and the difficulties she faced when searching for a new, affordable home in our state. Watch below ⬇️
