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.
I want to follow that line of thinking because in your statement, you have been clear with us that our nuclear capabilities are the foundation and the bedrock of our defense.
I think actually that the RIG, the Russian Information Group, which I mentioned, is actually a good structure to start with.
But we do not have a strategy to do that, and we do not have anybody in charge of that in the United States Government.
I mean, we have got an adversary here who is using this to very good benefit, and we have to compete short of conflict in this area as well.
What happens in Nigeria has a huge impact on what happens throughout the rest of Africa.
Taking no action guarantees escalation. Taking action has the possibility of escalation but also the possibility of deterrence.
If the United States isn't going to take any action in response to that Russian intrusion against your elections, then how can we think that the United States is going to take any action to protect us against Russia?
I do believe that that's a strategy that Russia is using, just as they're using military conflict, propaganda to undermine Western democracy.
Do you think that this kind of a travel ban makes it harder for Prime Minister Al-Abadi to resist those hardliners within Iraq?
What I have heard is about 40 percent of those with substance use disorder problems also have co-occurring mental health issues.
In New Hampshire, we have the second-highest percentage of overdose death rates from substance use disorders.
I do think there are principles and people within the Congress who would like to see an investigation drag on.
Our strongest asset right now is transatlantic resolve and unity in calling this out.
We have already seen some very blatant attempts on the part of the Russians to undermine the political processes.
An investigation that goes on for the next 2 years is not an investigation at all. It is an effort to obstruct what happened.
I think it is very sad and disappointing that this Congress has not acted more forcefully to make public in a much broader sense what we know about what happened and to take action to address it.
