Sen. Jeanne Shaheen

25 years ago, we lost 13 innocent Americans to a mass shooting at Columbine. In the years since, from grocery stores to concert halls, mass shootings have continued to steal the lives of far too many. We must do more to stop the epidemic of gun violence.

The United States has never backed down when it’s been called upon to defend freedom. Today’s action in the House shows that our commitment to freedom remains firm. I look forward to getting this to @POTUS' desk.

Sustaining US support for Ukraine’s fight against Russia is the single best way to deal a blow to the authoritarians in China, Iran and North Korea. Our adversaries are watching closely. If we allow Putin to be successful in Ukraine, it kicks the door open for them to act, too.

Finally. Ukraine cannot wait another day. Their fight for democracy is at a critical juncture. It took far too long for House Republicans to join the Senate in passing our bipartisan national security supplemental legislation. I’m relieved that it’s now done. https://twitter.com/SenatorShaheen/status/1781756971550392592?s=19

From lakes to mountains to forests, in New Hampshire, we’re lucky to be surrounded by so much natural beauty. On #EarthDay, we renew our commitment to protecting our environment for future generations and working to address the existential threat of climate change.

Today, I was glad to join the @USDOTFHWA Administrator Shailen Bhatt in Rye to celebrate over $20 million headed to the Granite State from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to help improve Route 1A between North Hampton and Rye.

@RepMcGovern and I successfully halted a proposed @usdaRMA apple crop insurance policy that would've hurt New England growers. Now, we’re urging the agency to continue to work with growers and ensure their concerns are taken into account when designing crop insurance policies.

Child care challenges are often more acute for military families, who deal with frequent relocations. I introduced a bipartisan bill to respond to child care shortages by creating a @DeptofDefense-led pilot program to support workforce development opportunities for providers. https://twitter.com/SenatorShaheen/status/1782504123012648980?s=19

I’m thrilled to see $43.5 million for solar headed to the residents and communities in New Hampshire that need it the most. These @EPA funds from the Inflation Reduction Act will create good-paying jobs, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy costs for Granite Staters. https://twitter.com/SenatorShaheen/status/1782522265952977210?s=19

Chag Pesach Sameach to all celebrating Passover in New Hampshire and around the world.

#ICYMI: @SFRCdems passed my bill to strengthen trade and economic cooperation with the Western Balkans while also addressing malign influence and corruption which attempt to undermine the democratic aspirations of the region. https://twitter.com/SenatorShaheen/status/1782778957882167714?s=19

.@USPS’ decision to move mail distribution out of Manchester despite public outcry is evidence of a broken decision-making process. That's why I helped introduce a bipartisan bill to prevent the Postal Service from cutting local mail processing in states like New Hampshire.
