Manchester, N.H. – Following tonight’s Republican primary election for the U.S. Senate in New Hampshire, Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s campaign manager Harrell Kirstein released the following statement:
“Jeanne Shaheen delivered a tenfold increase in opioid treatment funding, helped get New Hampshire veterans health care closer to home, and is a leader in the fight to protect Granite Staters’ health care. When COVID-19 hit, she helped create the bipartisan relief program for small businesses that has connected 24,000 New Hampshire small businesses with financial assistance, helping save more than 200,000 Granite State jobs. When it comes to making a difference for New Hampshire, she gets the job done, and her record stands in sharp contrast to Corky Messner, a Colorado transplant who moved here to try to buy himself a Senate seat, and is promising policies that will hurt Granite Staters, including ending health care protections for people with pre-existing conditions – even in the middle of a pandemic.”
