I do not have confidence that Senator Mullin has the willingness or vision to undertake urgently-needed reforms at the Department of Homeland Security to rebuild trust following Secretary Noem’s disastrous tenure. My full statement on tonight's vote:

16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law—giving tens of thousands of Granite Staters health insurance access. I'm proud of all the ACA accomplished, but the work isn’t done. We must keep fighting to lower health care costs and expand access to American families.

On World Water Day, we remember that clean drinking water is a priceless resource. With this Administration working to dismantle safeguards for clean water, we must protect the rivers, lakes and streams that supply our drinking water and provide treasured places for recreation.

Since March of last year, Americans have been forced to pay $166 billion in illegal tariff costs—with New Hampshire alone paying $510 million. The President's unlawful tariffs are costing my constituents their hard-earned dollars. This reckless trade policy must end now.

The Trump Administration's gutting of federal agencies has left Americans stranded in the Middle East and weakened our ability to defend against cyber threats. Worst of all: They fired the very FBI staff tasked with tracking threats from Iran. www.cnn.com/2026/03/10/p...

Government cuts under Trump’s second term weakened U.S. emergency, security, and foreign response capabilities, now under scrutiny amid Middle East conflict.

The Education Alliance of NH has for decades provided critical resources for Granite State students to help them excel. It is a travesty that President Trump’s reckless cuts have forced them to close. The President is choosing to leave New Hampshire students behind.

With historically high prices, affordable housing is out of reach for far too many Granite Staters. Earlier this week, I spoke with my constituent, Kerry, to hear her story and the difficulties she faced when searching for a new, affordable home in our state. Watch below ⬇️

Members of the military put their lives on the line to keep our nation safe—they deserve access to the very best health care. The President and Congressional Republicans’ reckless cuts are jeopardizing health care access for thousands of servicemembers. That’s unacceptable.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 18(source)
Skipping meals, borrowing money, deferring critical medical procedures to keep up with rising health care costs—this is what the President's affordability crisis looks like for Americans. We must work toward solutions that will bring real relief to working families.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.govMar 17(source)
Last week, I had the privilege of meeting with the Professional Firefighters of New Hampshire and the Shipyard Professional Fire Fighters. These brave men and women are invaluable in our communities. Thank you for all that you do to keep the Granite State safe.

When it comes to Cuba, my constituents aren't asking for an incursion into yet another country. What I hear them saying is that they are worried about the high price of gas, of groceries, of housing and of child care. They want action to lower costs. Not another forever war.

From mass firings at the IRS to the cancelling of the Direct File program, the President is making it harder for the American taxpayer this season. I’m proud to have joined a bill that would save the Direct File program, which millions relied on to save time and money on their taxes.
