My daughter’s story—and why I stepped up

ELECT PEOPLE WHO WILL FIGHT FOR WHAT'S RIGHT FOR ALL AMERICANS!

You may be receiving this email because of your support for Democrats in New Hampshire and across the country. Stefany Shaheen is a passionate advocate for groundbreaking medical research, a successful entrepreneur and business leader who's stepping up to run for New Hampshire's 1st Congressional District.

I’m Stefany Shaheen, and I’m proud to be running for Congress in New Hampshire’s 1st District.

This district is my home. It’s where I grew up, raised my family, and built my business. It’s where I learned what it means to care, serve, and fight for what matters.

My daughter, Elle, was just eight years old when she was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Her life has revolved around needles and blood sugar checks, 24-7—with too many sleepless nights and constant worry that the wrong amount of insulin could kill her. That experience changed me—for more than 15 years, I’ve fought for medical research and innovation in health care to help people like my daughter and millions more who are battling chronic, life-threatening diseases.

Now, Trump and MAGA Republicans are crushing medical research while Republicans in Congress slash Medicaid, and health care for kids, seniors, and veterans—all to give big tax breaks to billionaires and corporations—it’s time to turn outrage into action. I’ve got to fight.

I’m running for Congress to fight for New Hampshire families and the values that make us strong. There’s no one who fights harder than a mom for her kids, and that’s how I’ll fight for your family, too. In New Hampshire, we stand up for each other.

This campaign is about people, not politics. Will you help us start this campaign off strong by making a contribution of $5, $25, or whatever you can afford today?
