“Stefany and I share a commitment to giving back to the community where we grew up and raised our families. That’s how I know she will never give up, and never stop fighting to make a difference for New Hampshire families,” said Mayor Bob Carrier. “From her time on the city council, Stefany has proven that she knows how to bring people together to build consensus and when to stand your ground for what you believe. She understands the need for action to reduce the costs of housing, health care, groceries – everything – and she’s got a record of delivering results.”

“Granite Staters are facing grave and urgent challenges – from destructive tariffs threatening our small businesses and economy, to cuts that will steal health care from thousands. Stefany Shaheen can meet these challenges, stand up for New Hampshire, and make a difference,” said Governor Lynch. “Stefany built her business here, she raised her family here, she grew up here. New Hampshire is part of who she is. She has my full support because I know no one in this race understands New Hampshire like she does or has the experience and record she brings of making a difference.”

“Stefany is the kind of thoughtful, credible and serious leader we need representing New Hampshire in Congress.  She will protect health care, tackle the rising costs of housing, energy, and groceries, and end these destructive tariffs that are having a crushing impact on local businesses and our tourism economy,” said Mayor Deaglan McEachern. “I’ve known Stefany for a long time. When she is determined to do something, she never gives up.  That passion and persistence are exactly what we need right now.”
