## Foreign Relations Committee

As Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator Shaheen is committed to helping build strong international alliances to bolster America's national security and boost our economy.

## Appropriations Committee

After balancing a budget as a mother, small business owner, and governor, Senator Shaheen understands that every dollar we spend must deliver results. She is committed to fiscal responsibility and knows that public officials have a fundamental duty to make sure taxpayer money is used effectively and that each dollar can be accounted for. As the Ranking Member of the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration and Related Agencies (Ag-FDA), Sen. Shaheen works across the aisle to author annual funding legislation for the majority of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) as well as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and other agencies.

## Armed Services Committee

As a senior member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services, Shaheen has worked for fair treatment of American veterans and an articulate military strategy that keeps the United States and its allies safe from harm. She has supported New Hampshire soldiers, military bases, and defense-related businesses at the federal level.

## Small Business Committee

As a former small business owner, Senator Shaheen knows that small businesses are the engine that drives New Hampshire's economy. As the former lead Democrat and current member of the U.S. Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, Senator Shaheen is putting the needs of small businesses first—meeting with Granite State entrepreneurs and business owners and working to enact common sense small business policies that grow the economy and create jobs. Senator Shaheen’s small business priorities include: helping more small businesses access capital by increasing SBA lending; addressing workforce development challenges so workers have the right skills and training; addressing poorly crafted federal regulations that burden small businesses; and expanding federal contracting opportunities for rural small businesses.
