I'm so proud to have received the Legacy Award from the New England Council last night alongside fellow Granite Stater Ken Burns.

Thank you to the New England Council for this recognition. It has been the honor of a lifetime to serve New Hampshire and the entire region.

Americans are paying the price for President Trump's misguided decisions abroad.

Thanks to this Administration’s war in Iran, Americans will be forced to pay some of the highest airfares in a decade to visit their families during this holiday season.

Jet fuel prices hit a record and holiday airfares soar higher

If you're planning to fly this holiday season, be prepared to pay more than you did last year. The price of jet fuel — one of airlines' biggest expenses — is at an all-time high in the U.S.

Every mother deserves access to quality maternal health care, no matter where they live.

President Trump promised to lower costs for Americans. Instead, life has become more and more expensive for families.

Americans are falling further behind, and all the President cares about are vanity projects and price-raising, reckless trade wars.

Dolores Huerta dedicated her life to fighting for workers’ rights, equality and justice. Her legacy is a powerful reminder that we must never stop fighting for a more just future.
 
I'm keeping her family, friends and all those whose lives she impacted close in my thoughts.

On National First Responders Day, we recognize the brave firefighters, law enforcement officers and EMTs who put their lives on the line every day to keep our communities safe.

Please join me today in thanking first responders for all that they do.

The research being done at the University of New Hampshire's Jackson Estuarine Lab is critical to protecting our diverse ecosystems in and around the Seacoast.

I was proud to secure $3.8 million in federal funding to support the lab’s expansion and was glad to celebrate the newly upgraded facility.

Every survivor of domestic and sexual violence deserves to be treated with dignity and justice.

It's been an honor to advocate for survivors and ensure organizations like NHCADSV have the support they need.

Yesterday, I was humbled to receive their Lifetime Achievement Award.

Eight years ago, 11 worshippers were tragically killed in a hateful act of violence at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh.

Today, we honor their memories by standing with the Jewish community and reaffirming our commitment to combating antisemitism and hate in all forms.

No American should have to worry about affording the insulin they need to stay healthy.

My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap insulin costs at $35 per month.

I’m going to keep fighting to make this life-saving medication more affordable.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen @shaheen.senate.gov Oct 24

It was great to meet with the staff, interns and volunteers at the Mount Washington Observatory who provide critical weather prediction services and research.

There’s no place like Mount Washington in the fall, and it’s always a fun trip on the Cog.

Thanks for having me!

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen @shaheen.senate.gov Oct 23

Every child in the Granite State deserves a healthy, safe and bright future.

As Red Ribbon Week begins, I’m committed to supporting prevention and education efforts that help protect our young people from substance misuse and strengthen our communities.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen @shaheen.senate.gov Oct 23

It was an honor to join Seacoast leaders and community stakeholders to discuss our progress in addressing PFAS contamination at Pease and the work that still remains.

I’m grateful for their tireless advocacy and partnership over the years.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen @shaheen.senate.gov Oct 22

American leadership abroad is critical to protecting our national security and strengthening our alliances.

It was great joining UNH’s 2026 Security Forum today to discuss the challenges facing our country and the importance of our next generation of foreign policy leaders.
