Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2016, Senator Hassan has worked across the aisle to get results for Granite Staters. She is the second woman in American history to be elected both Governor and United States Senator, along with fellow New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
Senator Hassan is working to build a more inclusive economic future where all people who work hard to get ahead can stay ahead. She helped author and negotiate the bipartisan infrastructure package that is now law. It will repair New Hampshire roads and bridges, get affordable high-speed internet to communities, and get clean water into people’s homes. The Senator has led additional efforts to create jobs and support innovative businesses, including by expanding COVID-19 relief to more small businesses in New Hampshire. Senator Hassan has also led efforts to combat climate change, which threatens our environment and our economy.
Senator Hassan has long fought to support the North Country’s people, businesses, and beautiful natural resources. As Governor, she worked to put more state troopers on the road, support federal border patrol efforts, and protect the North Country’s scenic views.
Senator Hassan is continuing to fight for North Country communities, including efforts to protect our environment and support New Hampshire’s travel and tourism industry. She is working on efforts to boost incentives for private development and encourage entrepreneurship in priority areas for economic development including the North Country. And she is focused on expanding rural broadband access – particularly where it is most challenging – to ensure that every New Hampshire business and community can get connected.
Senator Hassan is also advocating for protecting our northern border, supporting small businesses that foster economic growth in rural areas, safeguarding programs such as TIGER grants to invest in fixing roads and bridges, and strengthening the Northern Border Regional Commission to help spur economic and community development in northern New Hampshire.
