Democrat Senator’s daughter

The daughter of the Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire goes a step to follow her mother’s political steps.

Stefany Shaheen declared its candidacy on Wednesday at the North -American House in the open -air -opening race in the competitive district of the 1st New Hampshire Congress.

The young Shaheen did not waste time to go to President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, who has led the Trump Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy, JR and Republicans in Congress.

In a campaign launch video, Shaheen highlighted her efforts as a defender of her daughter Elle, who has type 1 diabetes. Shaheen said that the diagnosis made her “a fierce fighter for medical research and innovation to help Elle and millions like her.”

“So, when I see that Donald Trump crushes medical research and health health for children, seniors and veterans to give tax reductions to billionaires and corporations, I have to fight against. That’s why I go to Congress,” Shaheen said in a statement. “No one fights more than a mother for her children and so I will also fight for your family.

Shaheen, in his video, also accused Musk that he has been “chasing our best scientists and doctors” and stated that Kennedy is “allowing measles to leave because he believes in conspiracy theories instead of proven vaccines.”

The National Committee of the Republican Congress (NRCC), the arm of the House GOP campaign, aimed at Shaheen on the famous political pedigree of his family.
