About Jeanne Shaheen
A Second Chance
Shaheen narrowly lost to John Sununu in 2002, but his victory was tarnished by the guilty pleas of GOP operatives who jammed Democratic phone lines on election day. Helping Shaheen unseat Sununu in 2008 would be a victory that allows the strengthening of our Senate majority.
Vulnerable Incumbent
The Washington Post called Sununu "the single most endangered Republican incumbent in the country." He accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars from the oil and gas industry - then voted against the Democratic energy bill that would have provided tax breaks for renewable energy.
Changing Lives
As a three-term governor, Shaheen made dramatic improvements to education and health care, and used her position to protect reproductive rights. Polls consistently show Shaheen leading Sununu, but she needs to raise $10 million to become New Hampshire's first woman senator.
