Experimental forests like Bartlett, Hubbard Brook and countless others across our country provide critical research that supports forest health and strengthens local economies. USDA's decision to shutter these facilities is completely unacceptable, and I’m pushing back.

My constituents are paying, on average, nearly $3,000 in higher costs due to inflation this year. The President promised to “end inflation,” but instead has done the exact opposite with his tariffs and war.
Updated State-by-State Cost Data: Families Have Spent $2,300 More Due to Inflation Under Trump
Updated calculations from the Joint Economic Committee – Minority estimate how much more an average family in every state has spent on goods and services since President Trump took office.

Capping insulin costs at $35 has broad, nationwide bipartisan support, and my INSULIN Act would do just that. With cosponsors from 11 states and counting, I'm committed to getting this passed. Let's keep building momentum and pass this bill.

60 days into the Iran War and the American public is paying an increasing price. 13 service members have lost their lives with hundreds more wounded, while at home families face spiking energy prices and inflation as they foot the bill for this reckless war.

It’s long past time for Harriet Tubman—a trailblazer who fought for freedom and equality—to be featured on the $20 bill. Learn more about the decade-long fight to do just that ⬇️ spectrumlocalnews.com/me/maine/pol...
No currency: After 10 years, plan to place Harriet Tubman on $20 bill stalls
Ten years ago this April, President Barack Obama announced that abolitionist Harriet Tubman would replace President Andrew Jackson on the face of the $20 bill.

I’m proud to see the Senate unanimously pass my bipartisan resolution recognizing April as National Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month. It’s on all of us to combat sexual assault and stand with survivors.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govApr 29(source)
The Supreme Court’s decision undermining the Voting Rights Act is a travesty that will take our nation a step backwards in history and strip away protections from voters across our country. This is yet another example of the assault we're seeing on voting rights across America.

Businesses in New Hampshire rely on Canadian tourism, yet the Trump Administration's actions are pushing visitors away—costing Granite Staters money. Last week, I made sure Secretary Lutnick knew how his childish insults are hurting my constituents. www.wmur.com/article/jean...

USDA's reorganization of the U.S. Forest Service will close research facilities critical to communities in New England—including New Hampshire’s own Bartlett Experimental Forest. I am doing all I can to fight back against this effort.
Shaheen, Hassan discuss future of experimental forest

Education Secretary McMahon claimed TRIO and GEAR UP, which open the door for thousands to attend college, is too costly. But somehow, cutting taxes for our nation’s wealthiest and exploding our national debt by over 4 trillion isn’t. It’s clear where this Administration's priorities lie.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govApr 27(source)
I am humbled to have received the Harry S. Truman award from the National Guard Association of the U.S. Our New Hampshire National Guard make sacrifices every day to ensure our state and our nation are safe. It's an honor to advocate for these men and women in Congress.

Hundreds of thousands of Granite Staters rely on Medicaid to access the health care services they need. The President's decision to cut federal funding for Medicaid was a travesty that is already hurting my constituents. I'm committed to fighting back. newhampshirebulletin.com/2026/04/14/m...
Medicaid matters more than ever for New Hampshire • New Hampshire Bulletin
As we mark Medicaid Awareness Month, it’s worth taking a fresh look at what this program means for New Hampshire — not in abstract terms, but in the day-to-day reality of access to care, affordability...

Like millions of American families, I’ve seen firsthand how unaffordable lifesaving insulin can be. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would work to solve this crisis—capping insulin prices to ensure everyone can afford the medication they need.

It's great to see New Hampshire's own Cove Fine Jewelry be selected by America250 to debut a limited-edition collection honoring our nation's 250th anniversary. NH has a deep-seated history in the story of American democracy, and I know Alyson and her team will make us proud!
