§3What they've said on the issues
Why this matters: These are positions the candidate has stated publicly — on their campaign website or in public statements — summarized in plain words with a link to where they said it. Issues they haven't spoken about publicly are left out.
Drafted by AI from the public sources cited. Each sentence links to its source.
Each issue has its own range of views. A position is marked on that range only when the candidate's own statement clearly matches one option; there is no overall left–right score.
Health Care
Her campaign website says she supports Medicare for All and that the country needs a public option, meaning every option stays on the table to bring about change. It also says insurers should not decide what care people receive.6
Her campaign website says drug makers should stop charging people in the United States higher prices than people in other countries pay for the same medicines, and says people in New Hampshire pay two to four times as much as Canadians.6
Her campaign website criticizes what it describes as efforts by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to weaken vaccine requirements for polio, measles and other serious diseases.6
Social Security and Medicare
Her campaign website says she backs legislation from Senator Bernie Sanders that would extend Medicare coverage to dental, vision and hearing services.6
- Keep current coverage, under which some private Medicare Advantage plans offer these benefits
- Add some of these benefits, such as hearing aids, to traditional Medicare
- Add dental, vision and hearing coverage to traditional Medicare
Technology, Privacy and AI
Her campaign website says AI should not make decisions that belong to doctors and nurses, and points to a planned Medicare program that would allow AI to deny coverage and care.6
Economy, Jobs and Trade
Housing
Her campaign website says hedge funds and private equity firms receive tax breaks when buying homes that other buyers cannot claim, and calls ending those tax breaks the first step.6
Her campaign website lists more support for first-time buyers and middle-class homebuyers among the steps she would take on housing.6
Immigration
Her campaign website says Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) must be overhauled so its agents meet the standards expected of local police. It calls for an end to searches without warrants and to ICE raids at schools, churches and hospitals, and says there will be no ICE warehouses in New Hampshire.6
Her campaign website says immigration agents should be required to wear body cameras and should be barred from wearing masks.6
Elections and Government Reform
Her campaign website says Citizens United should be overturned and that anyone who pays for political ads or gives to candidates should do so under their own name.6
- Limit spending by outside groups, including by amending the Constitution to overturn Citizens United
- Keep spending unlimited but require groups to name their major donors
- Keep current rules
- Raise or remove limits on donations to candidates and parties
Her campaign website says members of Congress and their families, along with Supreme Court justices and senior executive branch officials, should be prohibited from holding or trading individual stocks and some other financial assets.6
- Ban members and their spouses and dependent children from owning or trading individual stocks
- Ban members themselves from trading individual stocks
- No ban; keep the reporting rules, with stronger penalties for late reports
Abortion and Reproductive Health
Her campaign website lists restoring and defending reproductive rights among her priorities and says she will fight for abortion access and reproductive rights.6
§4Money
Why this matters: Campaigns report where their money comes from and how much they have left. Outside groups that spend on their own, without coordinating with the campaign, report that too.
Reported to the Federal Election Commission for the 2025–2026 election cycle, through October 14, 2026.7

Where the money came from
Outside spending
Groups spending independently reported $3,542,376 supporting and $1,246,893 opposing Stefany Shaheen this cycle, primary and general combined, in the 24- and 48-hour reports the law requires for larger expenditures, filed through October 25, 2026.8
| Group | Supporting | Opposing |
|---|---|---|
| Article One PAC | $1,217,575 | — |
| AMERICAN DEMOCRACY COMMITTEE | $752,401 | — |
| LCV Victory Fund | $605,594 | — |
| Future Progress | — | $598,025 |
| The No Kings PAC | $594,109 | — |
| New Leadership PAC | $326,016 | — |
| VoteVets | — | $320,434 |
| America PAC | — | $179,859 |
Smaller expenditures that appear only on a group's regular monthly or quarterly report aren't in these totals, so the full amounts can be somewhat higher. When a group amends a report, only its latest version is counted.
§5Financial disclosures
Why this matters: Federal candidates and members of Congress must report their assets, income, debts and outside jobs, and members must report stock trades. These filings show possible conflicts of interest.
