Jeanne Shaheen
The Public Record
Jeanne Shaheen is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from New Hampshire, a position she has held since January 3, 2009. A member of the Democratic Party, she is the first woman to be elected governor of New Hampshire, serving from 1997 to 2003. During her tenure in the Senate, Shaheen has focused on issues such as healthcare, education, and national security, often advocating for policies that support working families and promote economic growth.
We have restarted the Senate NATO Observer Group to try and continue to support efforts in that NATO is undertaking.
That is a commitment you made to this committee, and I appreciate you following through on that.
If this Nation is to make any progress in mitigating the harmful effects of climate change, we need science agencies, such as NASA, to provide factual and reliable information on how our world is changing.
The science on climate change is beyond rational dispute: It is a reality--a clear and present threat to our planet--and it must be addressed robustly and urgently.
I'm so disappointed by the repeated request to eliminate NASA Education programs.
I worry that increasing costs and delay wind up with us stalled at the moon indefinitely.
Last year, we rejected the proposal to terminate NASA education, and we will do it again this year.
I sharply question the systemic cuts proposed in the fiscal year 2019 budget to Earth Science. The stakes are too high.
Well, thank you. Thank you all very much for the great work that you are doing.
I think we need to think about how we can reverse the incentives in our healthcare system to do more for prevention with type 2 where it really makes a difference.
I came back because I did not want to go home and tell my family that I had this whole panel from NIH in front of me and I did not ask you about the prospects of research into a cure for type 1 diabetes.
Absolutely. That is what we are seeing in New Hampshire where we have the highest rate of overdose deaths from fentanyl.
Like my colleagues on this committee, we have been very hard hit in New Hampshire, as you know, from your visit to Catholic Medical Center and other places in the State.
And thank you to you and Senator Murray and Senator Alexander for your commitment to research and funding for NIH.
This is not a partisan issue. This is an issue about a foreign government's efforts to undermine our system of government.
I think the question is not just if Larry Nassar will be held accountable, but also any other participants in USA Gymnastics or the U.S. Olympic Committee who knew what was going on.
I hope your investigation will examine that matter and make sure if the appropriate people were not present, that it will reflect that, so that we have that information in the future.
I would encourage you and Senator Capito to set up a classified briefing where we can get that kind of information.
The people who testified expressed real concern that the end of net neutrality protections would affect their ability to compete...
Earlier this month I convened a field hearing with the support of the Chairman and Ranking Member...
So I think it's fair to say there was real concern among the small businesses in New Hampshire about what this means for them.
