I was glad to visit with Colby Footwear in Rochester and the business community in North Conway to discuss how the President’s tariffs are hurting New Hampshire’s local economy – including the summer tourism season. I’ll ensure their voices are heard in Washington.

There’s no debate: Republican-led federal funding cuts will cause 36,000 Granite Staters to lose their health care coverage—all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. Bottom line: Under their plan, working families lose, and billionaires win.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 24(source)
We know what needs to be done to prevent the kind of violence that took the lives of 19 children and 2 teachers in Uvalde 3 years ago today. Congress needs to act on commonsense steps like expanding background checks, banning weapons of war and eliminating high-capacity magazines.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 23(source)
Congressional Republicans will go to any and all lengths to find programs to cut to pay for their tax scam. Next on the chopping block? More than half a trillion dollars in funding for Medicare, all to help America’s richest line their pockets.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 23(source)
I don't think Americans find it appropriate for the President of the United States to use his office to enrich himself and his family. At a time when we have so many pressing challenges in the world and here at home, President Trump should be focused on doing his job.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 23(source)
I hear constantly from New Hampshire businesses who are extremely concerned about the President's tariffs and what it means for their ability to operate. If Trump keeps targeting our allies like Canada, they'll do business elsewhere - and that would devastate our economy.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 23(source)
Great to join @cnn.com from Ottawa this morning, where I'm leading a bipartisan delegation of U.S. Senators from several Northern border states to meet with the new Prime Minister and members of his cabinet to reaffirm the importance of our strong relationship with Canada.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 22(source)
ENERGY STAR is a tremendously popular program that empowers American consumers and businesses to save hundreds of dollars on their utility bills. @senpeterwelch.govpeeps.us and I are urging the EPA to abandon its plans to scrap this cost-saving, job-creating program.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 22(source)
The Republican tax plan: Give the top .1% $390,000 more every year - bought and paid for by folks making less than $50,000. Put simply, they're going to take food and health care away from working families so that the ultra-wealthy can get an extra payout.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 22(source)
Expanding access to diabetes self-management training will allow patients to improve their well-being, live healthier lives and ultimately lower the cost of treatment. I’m proud to work across the aisle to introduce this bill and continue supporting diabetes treatment and investment.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 22(source)
ACA premium tax credits put money in the pockets of working Americans—providing relief from sky high health care costs eating up monthly budgets. Without action they'll expire in January. The Republican response? Prioritizing a tax break for billionaires instead.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 21(source)
I’m calling on President Trump to follow Steve Bannon’s advice and prohibit special government employees like Elon Musk from profiting off of non-public government information they acquired during their government service. It’s a commonsense way to root out corruption.

Scooplet: In a letter first shared w/ @nbcnews.com, Sen. @shaheen.senate.gov urged President Trump to require Elon Musk + other special government employees involved in DOGE to sign a certification that they won't use nonpublic information to their benefit. MORE: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

We're finally starting to turn the tide on the substance use disorder crisis, but reckless federal funding cuts will put our progress at risk. Just today, Secretary Kennedy wouldn't commit to preserving the State Opioid Response grant - a program that has literally saved lives in New Hampshire.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 20(source)
We’ve made great strides towards ending the substance use disorder crisis, but even just 1 death due to a drug overdose is a tragedy. We need to keep up the support that has made this progress possible. Trump's federal funding cuts could set us back and put more lives at risk.

US drug overdose deaths dropped last year by 27%, but experts warn federal cuts could threaten that progress
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 19(source)
Wherever we can, we should be looking for opportunities to solve challenges for everyday Americans in a bipartisan way. The commonsense legislation I introduced with Senator Hawley last week would prevent Big Pharma from getting tax breaks for their drug advertisements.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 19(source)
Without access to health insurance coverage, patients are often forced to delay care until it reaches crisis levels. That means higher medical bills and less economic independence. The fact is: cutting Medicaid won’t save money, it will cost money.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 18(source)
For 60 years now, Head Start has made high-quality early education available for thousands of working families. With Trump threatening to eliminate this program, we need to push back for the children and families whose lives have been changed for the better thanks to Head Start.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 17(source)
International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia is a reminder of our ongoing efforts to ensure justice for LGBTQ+ people at home and abroad. Discrimination or violence against these communities because of who they love and how they identify is unconscionable.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMay 16(source)
While Trump scrambles to fix the damage caused by his most extreme tariffs, the reality is that Americans are still facing tariffs that amount to a national sales tax. We need policies that lower prices and address the cost-of-living crisis. His tariffs are doing the opposite.

The Connecticut River and its watershed are a vibrant part of New England’s landscape. My legislation would create a partnership to protect and preserve this critical environmental and economic resource. indepthnh.org/2025/05/13/s...
