New Hampshire is facing a shortage of nursing professionals, especially in the most rural parts of the state. It was great to see firsthand how funding I helped the New England College secure is supporting a revamped program that is getting more nurses out in the field.

Local small businesses are the backbone of our Granite State economy. It was wonderful to mark Small Business Week by recognizing the accomplishments of so many business owners across our state. Congratulations to all the winners at this year’s Small Business Week Awards.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov1d ago(source)

The work Nashua Community College does to equip Granite State students with the skills they need to excel is critical for our local economies. This week, I saw firsthand how federal funding I secured is being used to bolster the college’s high-demand jobs training programs.

May is Jewish American Heritage Month, which provides us with an important opportunity to recognize the contributions of Jewish Americans to communities across the country. It’s also a time when we can redouble our efforts to combat antisemitism and hate around the world.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov1d ago(source)

Health care prices are rising across the board. Yesterday, I spoke with Elise, a Granite State student with Type 1 diabetes about my INSULIN Act and what it would mean to cap out-of-pocket insulin costs to $35 a month.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov1d ago(source)

The cost of housing has skyrocketed in the Granite State, making it harder for families to find a home they can afford. I visited the Villages at Craft Hill, which is a great example of the type of solutions we need to increase access to affordable housing in rural New Hampshire.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov2d ago(source)

The American people know the cost that they're paying for the Iran War. The question is, are they better off now than they were at the start of the war? And the answer is no—we're not better off.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov2d ago(source)

With energy prices spiking as a direct result of the President’s war in Iran, it was great to visit Brayton Energy in Hampton to see firsthand how their innovative clean technologies can fight climate change, expand our energy supply and lower costs.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov2d ago(source)

Diabetes often is the most expensive chronic condition—I’m hoping to change that. My bipartisan INSULIN Act would cap monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35, ensuring families across the country can afford the lifesaving medication they need.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov2d ago(source)

I had the pleasure of visiting St. Anselm’s state-of-the-art nursing simulation lab, where they're equipping future nurses with the skills needed to enter the workforce. On National Nurses Day, join me in appreciating all that nurses do for communities across the country.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov2d ago(source)

Lifesaving insulin has become far too expensive. By capping monthly out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35, my INSULIN Act would change that. It was great to host a roundtable today at St. Anselm to discuss high insulin costs and my bill. Let's get it passed.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov3d ago(source)

We've heard so many mixed messages from this White House on the war. President Trump should stop negotiating with his own Administration and start negotiating with Iran.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov3d ago(source)

Health care affordability is a top concern of my constituents and this President has done nothing to address it. My bipartisan INSULIN Act does by capping out-of-pocket insulin costs at $35 a month for millions of families.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov3d ago(source)

It was great to join Clean Energy NH yesterday and continue my Affordability Action Tour with a discussion on the importance of clean energy investment and lowering costs. With fuel prices spiking, I’m working to provide real financial relief for NH families.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov3d ago(source)

From groundbreaking studies on acid rain to wildfire prevention, experimental forests advance research that benefits local economies and ecosystems. I'm fighting to keep these facilities open, including New Hampshire’s own Bartlett and Hubbard Brook. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/c...

As Wildfire Risks Rise, Forest Service Shutters Labs That Study Them

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov4d ago(source)

To all of our Granite State teachers and educators, happy Teacher Appreciation Day! As a former teacher, I cannot thank our nation’s educators enough for their tireless work to ensure future generations are prepared for all that is ahead.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov4d ago(source)

65 years ago, 13 activists boarded buses in DC bound for New Orleans, marking the first freedom ride in U.S. history. As I saw when teaching in a newly integrated school in Mississippi, these individuals inspired a movement that advanced racial equality and fought injustice.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov4d ago(source)

Small businesses across New Hampshire are facing spiking fuel costs—squeezing Granite State business owners at a time when they can least afford it. From tariffs to the war in Iran, President Trump is hurting small businesses in my state. www.keenesentinel.com/news/local/h...

High gas prices exhaust local transportation companies

Melissa Bassingthwaite was surprised at how quickly her company's weekly fuel prices shot up almost $1,500.

U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen@shaheen.senate.gov5d ago(source)

When Congress doesn't work together, we can't get things done. Solving the challenges that are facing this country requires bipartisan action.
