The President’s illegal tariffs have cost small businesses billions. The President must refund Americans for the illegal tariff tax revenue his Administration collected—and it must do so without placing an additional strain on our small business owners. Read more ⬇️

America's rural communities—including those in the Granite State—are already struggling with strained health systems. The Republican's "Big Beautiful Bill" could make this problem even worse. www.npr.org/2026/03/26/n...
A $50 billion fund to help rural hospitals could actually lead to service cuts
States are rolling out plans for their share of a $50 billion fund established by Congress to improve rural health care. In some states, the money may provoke rural hospitals to cut services.

On National Vietnam War Veterans Day, we take a moment to honor the sacrifices of those who served in Vietnam. Today and every day, we thank all 2.7 million veterans who put their lives on the line in service to our nation.

With 2.8 million visitors in 2025 alone, the Appalachian Trail helps power New Hampshire’s $4.2 billion outdoor economy. It's great to see the trail’s enduring popularity. I will keep working to ensure it can be enjoyed by hikers for generations to come. www.nhpr.org/nh-news/2026...

E-cigarettes are dangerous and addictive, and while we've made progress to curb use among children, Congress must do more. That’s why Sen. Murkowski and I introduced legislation that would hold e-cigarette companies accountable for the youth vaping epidemic they created.
CQ NEWS Shaheen, Murkowski propose FDA user fee program for vapes
A bipartisan Senate duo wants to close what some say is a loophole for electronic cigarette manufacturers by giving the Food and Drug Administration authority to collect fees for performing regulatory...

Millions have been forced to drop coverage due to congressional Republicans’ unwillingness to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits. Congress needs to provide relief to families struggling with high costs by restoring the tax credits that help make health care more affordable.
Millions of Americans Are Going Uninsured Following Expiration of ACA Subsidies
Nearly a tenth of those enrolled in Affordable Care Act plans last year dropped insurance after costs rose sharply.

It was great to meet with the New Hampshire fire chiefs in Washington last week. Our brave first responders risk their lives and wellbeing for the safety of our communities. I thank them for their tireless service and unwavering dedication.

President Trump claimed that his tariffs would revitalize manufacturing in the United States—100,000 lost manufacturing jobs tell a different story. The President's tariffs have done nothing except hurt our economy, leaving small businesses and hardworking families behind.
Trump’s tariffs are hurting American manufacturers instead of helping them
There’s a growing body of data showing the tariffs President Donald Trump said would help American factories are, in fact, squashing many of them.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 26(source)
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.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 26(source)
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.

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.

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.
