Political positions

Healthcare

In October 2013, Shaheen sent a letter to the White House asking for an extension for the open enrollment deadline for the Affordable Care Act, informally known as "Obamacare."

Noteworthy events

Ending Spending Action Fund ad pulled from WHDH

Ending Spending ad

In August 2014, Ending Spending Action Fund, a super PAC supporting former Sen. Scott Brown,^[124] released an ad opposing Shaheen entitled, "Cronyism." The ad claimed that, while the average New Hampshire citizen had struggled financially, "Shaheen's wealth has surged while in public office."^[125] Shaheen's lawyers argued that the ad was inaccurate and demanded that the television broadcasting stations take it off the air. They stated that, in fact, Shaheen's net worth had decreased between $562,000 and $1 million while she had been in office. Ending Spending defended the ad by arguing that only Shaheen's assets should be included, and that debts, including 10 mortgages that she declared in 2013, should not be taken into account. One Boston television station, WHDH, an affiliate of NBC, stopped broadcasting the ad until it was re-cut. The president of Ending Spending stated, "That station has requested an additional citation be added to the on-screen text, which we will gladly do."^[126]

Race background

Shaheen came under fire from Scott Brown, a former Massachusetts Senator who ran for Senate in New Hampshire, where he owned a vacation home. He criticized her for raising money off of his rumored run. He said, "I think it’s shameful for her to do that, for one, because I’m not a declared candidate. I think she should be addressing the government shutdown problem." Brown was criticized for doing the same thing in 2010 when MSNBC host, Rachel Maddow, was rumored to be running against him for the Senate. At the time, Brown's campaign defended the practice.^[128]

Endorsements

Shaheen was endorsed by the following:

On May 16, 2014, Independent Senator Angus King endorsed Shaheen (D-NH) over Brown.^[129]
- Before being elected to the Senate, both King and Shaheen served as governors of their respective states, overlapping for six years during which they worked together on numerous issues.^[130] In the Senate, the two colleagues were both included in a bipartisan group that helped end the 2013 government shutdown.^[130]
U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) travelled to New Hampshire to campaign for Shaheen against Scott Brown. Warren defeated Brown in Massachusetts' 2012 U.S. Senate election before Brown moved to New Hampshire.^[131]

Media

Ending Spending, Inc., a nonprofit group associated with the Ending Spending Action Fund, released a campaign ad in December 2013 criticizing incumbent Shaheen for supporting the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." The ad labeled Shaheen a liar for claiming that Obamacare would allow citizens to keep their insurance provider and increase choices.^[132]

Shaheen released her first campaign ad on May 4, 2014.^[133]

Shaheen released another campaign ad in May 2014, this time focusing on helping small businesses.^[134]
