The first woman in U.S. history to be elected both a Governor and a United States Senator, New Hampshire’s Jeanne Shaheen is a trailblazer with a reputation for working across the aisle to get things done. Shaheen has served in the Senate since 2009 and is the Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and a senior member of the U.S. Senate Committees on Armed Services, Appropriations, Small Business and Entrepreneurship, as well as the Select Committee on Ethics.
As a top-ranking Senator on both the Foreign Relations and Armed Services Committees, Senator Shaheen is a global leader on important foreign policy issues, and she advocates for legislation and actions that confront our enemies, strengthen key alliances and bolster New Hampshire’s role in our national defense.
