Manchester, NH – In the Mount Washington Valley Economic Council Debate this morning, Stefany Shaheen laid out the clear contrast in the race: she’ll fight for change, and her opponent Anothony DiLorenzo represents more of the same.
“Anthony DiLorenzo says he’d vote for Trump ‘a thousand times in a row,’ that’s 1,000 votes for Trump’s war driving up the cost of gas and home heating oil, 1,000 votes to cut health care, 1,000 votes for billionaire tax breaks. Stefany Shaheen laid it out clearly during the debate: DiLorenzo is the candidate if you want more of the same, she’ll bring the change and lower costs that New Hampshire families urgently need,” said Emma Greenberg, Campaign Manager for Stefany Shaheen.
We are less than two weeks away from mid-term elections. In New Hampshire’s First Congressional district, Democrat Stefany Shaheen is running against Trump-endorsed Republican Anthony Dilorenzo.
Trump says we should vote like he’s on the ticket and has endorsed Dilorenzo. DiLorenzo stated that he appreciated the endorsement and aligns with Trump. He’s said he’d vote for Trump a thousand times in a row.
So, If you like Donald Trump’s policies and performance; Tax cuts for the wealthy; higher prices at the pump and in the grocery store; using his official office for personal gain; siding with Russia against Ukraine; waging an illegal war of choice in Iran, Dilorenzo is your man.
Manchester, N.H. – Highlighting her commitment to improving health care and support for veterans and their families as well as her opponents support for drastic cuts to those services, more than 100 New Hampshire Veterans are announcing their endorsement of Stefany Shaheen.
In Congress, Stefany will fight to get veterans quality health care close to home, Anthony DiLorenzo has said he backs the Trump Administration’s cuts to veterans health care directed by Elon Musk and DOGE.
“Led by Elon Musk, Republicans in Congress systematically defunded veterans’ health care and forced thousands of layoffs at the VA, all to pay for tax breaks for billionaires,” said Stefany Shaheen. “It’s a disgrace that many of the VA employees losing their livelihoods are veterans themselves. We need to repair the damage that was done—and ensure that the men and women who serve our country in uniform can live safe, healthy and prosperous lives. I am honored to have earned support from more than 100 veterans from across New Hampshire, and in Congress, I will always stand up for those who served.”

These voters have chosen to put country over party in the race for New Hampshire’s first congressional seat.
Manchester, NH – Using Anthony DiLorenzo’s own words, the latest ad from the Shaheen campaign reminds voters that he will back Donald Trump “1,000 times in a row,” even when it hurts New Hampshire.
The ad focuses on DiLorenzo’s support for Trump’s war with Iran that is driving up the cost of gas and home heating oil, his support for Trump’s tax breaks for billionaires at the expense of health care cuts for families, and his defense of Trump’s profiteering off the White House.
Manchester, NH – There was a clear choice for voters between Stefany Shaheen’s resolve to fight for New Hampshire and Anthony DiLorenzo’s eagerness to do whatever Donald Trump wants, on the stage tonight at New England College’s First Congressional District Debate.
We need leaders in Congress who focus on the right priorities, have a proven track record, and the backbone to stand up to the Trump Administration.
I’m a Portsmouth resident, mother of three, wife, occupational therapist, and PFAS community leader. I’ve known Stefany Shaheen since 2015, when she stepped up to fight alongside the Pease community following devastating PFAS drinking water contamination at the former Pease Air Force Base […] Stefany has a proven record of public service, community leadership, and healthcare advocacy. She understands what’s at stake and will fight for all Granite Staters with her years of experience, integrity, and tenacity.
Just received my $90 midterms bribe — er, “Medicare Improvement Fund Payment” — from Trump. I thought he’d like to know that I immediately gave it to Stefany Shaheen, Democratic candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District.

U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who could soon become the next House speaker, campaigned Monday night with First Congressional District Democratic nominee Stefany Shaheen in her hometown of Portsmouth […] “This is an incredibly important seat, critical to taking back the majority in the House,” Jeffries said in remarks with Shaheen at the Portsmouth field office before a roomful of party activists.
“We cannot achieve addition through subtraction. This is one of the closest open-seat races in the country.”
Shaheen agreed that the Democrats holding onto the seat was essential.
“We know the path to a Democratic majority in the House runs right through New Hampshire,” Shaheen said.
Jeffries told reporters that Shaheen is a “principled public servant” who deserves to replace the four-term Democrat Pappas, who is running for the U.S. Senate.
Congressional candidate Stefany Shaheen condemned “rubber stamp” U.S. lawmakers Oct. 8 and blasted President Donald Trump’s increased personal wealth since taking his second oath of office last year. […] A voter in the Portsmouth Rotary Club questioned Trump’s income and how members of Congress can potentially intervene. Analyses of the president’s 2025 financial disclosure filing with the U.S. Office of Government Ethics found that he reported at least $2.2 billion in income during the year.
“We have to pass laws that allow for criminal penalties when laws are violated, no matter who violates them, especially in the case of this personal profiteering,” Shaheen said. “I mean, I find it especially egregious the combination of the personal profiteering $2 billion on top of the tax breaks for billionaires, when Americans can’t afford to fill their home heating oil tanks this winter and they’re losing their health care. These are just the wrong priorities.”
Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA) campaigns with U.S. House candidate Stefany Shaheen (D-NH) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
Democrat Stefany Shaheen says Republican Anthony DiLorenzo, her opponent in the race for the U.S. House seat representing New Hampshire’s 1st District, believes President Donald Trump has U.S. on right track while she does not. She spoke during a forum at UNH in Durham Oct. 5, 2026.
U.S. House candidate Stefany Shaheen (D-NH) said her opponent Anthony DiLorenzo (R) would be a “rubber stamp” for President Trump, referring to remarks he made saying he would vote for the President a thousand times over if given the chance.
Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg campaigns with U.S. House candidate Stefany Shaheen (D-NH) in Manchester, New Hampshire.
First Congressional District Democratic nominee Stefany Shaheen came out firing with her first general election ad, attacking Republican rival Anthony DiLorenzo over the Iran war, high gas prices and his loyalty to President Donald Trump […] “Gas is over $4 a gallon, heating oil is up too, thanks to Donald Trump’s war. Anthony DiLorenzo supports that war. Trump doubled the cost of healthcare to give tax breaks to billionaires. DiLorenzo loved it. And the price of groceries is way up, thanks to Trump’s tariffs,” Shaheen says in the opening of the ad appearing next to a gas station pump.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Democratic congressional candidate in the 1st District Stefany Shaheen joined WMUR for the latest installment of the “Conversation with the Candidate” series, which invites members of the public to ask candidates running for statewide office questions about key issues of today.
Shaheen offered her takes on key issues including energy costs, social security and childcare.
MANCHESTER, N.H. — Answering a voter’s question, Democratic 1st District congressional candidate Stefany Shaheen said she believes Medicare for All is the best way to make health care affordable. She said the federal government should focus its efforts on making the policy a reality.
“We need a system that’s going to work for everybody. Healthcare should never be a privilege for the few who can afford it, it has to be a right that everybody has access to,” she said.
Shaheen said federal resources could be redirected from the departments of Defense and Homeland Security. She pointed to President Donald Trump’s proposed $1.5 trillion defense budget and the estimated $38 billion spent on the Iran war as funding that could be redirected to health care.
Manchester, N.H. – Highlighting her commitment to improving health care and support for veterans and their families, more than 80 New Hampshire Veterans are announcing their endorsement of Stefany Shaheen in New Hampshire’s first congressional district Democratic primary. These men and women answered a call to serve and deserve an equal commitment from the American people for their service. In Congress, Stefany will fight to get veterans quality health care close to home.
“The Trump Administration cut veterans’ health care – laying off thousands of employees at the Department of Veterans Affairs – while spending billions of dollars on bombs, a ballroom and tax breaks for billionaires. That’s outrageous,” said Stefany Shaheen. “Many of those fired were veterans themselves. Undoing the damage this Administration has done to health care and other critical services for veterans isn’t enough. Our country owes a debt to all those who serve, in Congress I will make sure we honor it.”
“I’m so proud to have earned the support of 82 veterans from across New Hampshire in this race. I will always stand up for them and the people of our state,” added Shaheen.
Manchester, NH — Documents and plans regarding a proposed data center in Bow must be released to the public immediately, says Stefany Shaheen, Democratic candidate for Congress in New Hampshire’s First District, who is calling for a moratorium on data centers in the state. Shaheen is raising concerns over news reports that the project has been under discussion by state and federal officials who have failed to inform Granite Staters.
“The people of New Hampshire have a right to know what is being built in their own backyard, especially when it involves a project of this scale that could impact their water quality, electric rates, and quality of life,” said Shaheen. “It’s clear from reporting by New Hampshire Public Radio that the New Hampshire Department of Energy, the Federal Energy Regulator Commission, Eversource and Granite Shore Power have been discussing this project for some time without sharing any details with Granite Staters. That’s unacceptable.”
I respectfully urge all registered Democrats to support Stefany Shaheen in her candidacy for the party’s nomination to the U.S. Congress. Her nomination would give voters a strong and capable candidate in November, and I encourage independent voters to participate in the Democratic primary to help ensure that the most compelling choice appears on the ballot.
Stefany Shaheen is a multi-generational Granite Stater who understands New Hampshire because she is one of us. No matter your party affiliation, she stands out as the strongest bipartisan choice on the ballot. Her integrity is beyond question, her grasp of the challenges facing our state is unmatched, and her life, upbringing, and public service reflect a deep commitment to the people of New Hampshire.
New Hampshire is more than a place on a political map. It is a collection of communities where people value honesty, independence, hard work, compassion and neighbors helping neighbors.
That is why I am supporting Stefany Shaheen for Congress.
The Friday before Memorial Day in May 2014, my life changed forever. I read a newspaper article reporting that PFAS, then commonly referred to as PFCs, had been detected in drinking water wells at the Pease Tradeport … That was when Stefany Shaheen, then a Portsmouth city councilor, stepped forward.
Stefany became the first local elected official to advocate for PFAS blood testing for people exposed at Pease. She asked difficult questions and continued pressing when the state initially proposed testing only 100 community members. Her willingness to stand alongside families mattered and made a difference.
Sen. Maggie Hassan is joining the fray in the 1st Congressional District, endorsing Stefany Shaheen … “Stefany Shaheen and I first got to know each other as moms of children with tough health challenges — moms who realized that we needed to fight for our children’s healthcare and inclusion,” Hassan said. “Stefany’s fight for her daughter gave her the strength and experience to fight for all families — on the City Council, as an entrepreneur, and on the Police Commission. Stefany will bring the same fight to Congress and stand up to Donald Trump and his corruption and lawlessness.”
I served alongside Stefany Shaheen on the task force that then-Governor Maggie Hassan created to investigate the pediatric cancer cluster I had identified on New Hampshire’s Seacoast in 2014. I later spent years on the Pease Restoration Advisory Board, working to address PFAS pollution at the former Pease Air Force Base, and I pushed the EPA to enforce the original Coakley Landfill cleanup plan when regulators sought to roll it back. I know exactly what it looks like when someone shows up for this fight because I watched Shaheen do it from the seat next to mine.
Stefany Shaheen showed up.
The State Employees’ Association is throwing its support to Stefany Shaheen in the 1st Congressional District Democratic race. Shaheen met with union members and leadership Monday morning in Concord. Union officials said Shaheen’s support for unions during her time as a Portsmouth city councilor and her deep roots in the Granite State made her their pick in a competitive primary.
Stefany Shaheen, Democratic candidate for Congress in NH-01, discusses her campaign, her criticism of primary opponent Maura Sullivan and her donors; her support for an end to military aid to Israel; her position on Medicare for All; whether she will oppose socialism in Congress; the DNC’s decision to relegate New Hampshire in the presidential primary process.
First Congressional District candidate Stefany Shaheen held a press conference at the Granite State Candy Shop in Manchester, where she said President Donald Trump is profiteering off the White House. The Democratic candidate was joined by former state Supreme Court Justice John Broderick. Shaheen claims the president has enriched himself by $2 billion in the last year, and she is proposing criminal penalties for profiteering off the presidency.
Candidate Stefany Shaheen is highlighting the fight to regulate so-called forever chemicals as she tries to win over voters in the 1st Congressional District. Shaheen is touting the support of environmental advocates in her campaign. It’s a policy realm she’s already quite familiar with. A decade ago, she was helping to lead the charge in Portsmouth for water testing after perfluorochemicals were found in a well near the Pease Tradeport.
U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Arizona, made four journeys into space as an astronaut, and he’s now venturing into New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District Democratic primary. The senator is endorsing Stefany Shaheen in CD-1, telling his fellow Democrats that she is the “fighter we need.”
“New Hampshire needs a fighter to take on Donald Trump and his hand-picked Republican candidate in November,” Kelly said. “When toxic PFAS threatened local drinking water, Stefany Shaheen showed up and demanded testing and clean water for Granite State families. Whether she’s standing with her neighbors to stop an ICE detention facility or taking on insurance companies who try to raise the cost of health care, Stefany has what it takes to beat Republicans this fall.”
Back-to-school is still a few weeks away, but Stefany Shaheen’s campaign is getting a summertime boost from the classroom, as the state’s largest teachers union endorsed her campaign. NEA-New Hampshire is backing Shaheen in the competitive, multi-candidate Democratic primary in the 1st Congressional District.
“NEA-New Hampshire is proud to recommend Stefany Shaheen for Congress because we know she will be a strong voice and vote for New Hampshire public school educators, our students and our schools,” said Megan Tuttle, president of NEA-New Hampshire.
Stefany Shaheen, vowing to “raise hell with Trump and the insurance companies” ripping off Granite Staters, says in a new ad, “it’s time the people of New Hampshire stopped paying for Donald Trump’s corruption.” Shaheen, running for Congress in New Hampshire’s First Congressional District, calls out Donald Trump’s unprecedented corruption, including trading health insurance stocks, and cutting health care for Granite Staters while paying for bombs, a new ballroom, and tax breaks for billionaires.
First Congressional District candidate Stefany Shaheen is leading the polls for the Democratic nomination, and she’s hoping to maintain that lead into Election Day.
Shaheen toured the Manchester Fire Department’s central station Tuesday, talking about the wide variety of issues first responders confront on the streets.
Gabby Giffords, a prominent gun violence prevention advocate and former congresswoman, is endorsing Stefany Shaheen in the race for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District seat … “Stefany Shaheen has been a leader in her community for years, fighting to protect the well-being of others,” Giffords said. “With an advocate like her in Washington, New Hampshire voters will have a true champion for gun safety working tirelessly to protect their families, schools and neighborhoods. I know Stefany Shaheen has the determination to fight for lifesaving gun laws — from universal background checks to red flag laws — and she has the grit needed to stand up to corrupt gun industry lobbyists.”

Today EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, endorsed Stefany Shaheen for New Hampshire’s 1st Congressional District.

Now, she’s ready to take that fight to Congress and take on Donald Trump and Republicans who are driving up costs and putting billionaires ahead of working families.

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.”
