Jeanne Shaheen believes it’s time to stop Washington’s runaway spending and end special interest giveaways.

As Governor, she proposed balanced budgets and vetoed unnecessary spending, enabling her to triple New Hampshire’s rainy day fund. She kept New Hampshire’s tax burden the lowest in the country the entire six years she was Governor.

In the Senate, Jeanne Shaheen will push to:

• Make sure any spending increases are offset.
• Crack down on earmarks and eliminate no-bid contracts by requiring open, competitive bids for every government contract.  
• End tax breaks for companies that move jobs overseas.
• Repeal the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy and redirect those to the middle class.
• Audit every federal department and agency to identify waste and inefficiencies.
