The only woman elected Governor of New Hampshire, Jeanne Shaheen worked to make a difference for families. The result is a record of achievement in smart energy policies, expanding access to health care, making government more accountable, improving education, strengthening the state's economy, preserving our environment, and protecting civil rights.
As a U.S. Senator, she'll bring people together to make the changes New Hampshire families need: a strong economy, new jobs, affordable healthcare, a clean energy policy, and an end to the war in Iraq, which is hurting our national security.
