ANNOUNCER [v/o]: This is what New Hampshire governors used to look like. Then came Jeanne Shaheen, the first woman elected governor in our history.
She shook up business as usual, established the first ethics code for state officials, “made a real difference.”
(Text on screen: Concord Monitor, 10/27/02)
She led the first overseas trade mission and “opened the world to New Hampshire's businesses.”
(Text on screen: Portsmouth Herald, 10/27/02)
“66,000 new jobs while she was Governor.”
(Text on screen: Economic Conditions in New Hampshire 08/03)
And for the first time for many communities, she made public kindergarten “a reality,” and expanded health insurance for children.
(Text on screen: The Courier, 10/23/02)
Maybe it was because her father worked in a shoe factory, and her mother was a church secretary. Maybe because she and her husband raised three daughters with the values her parents taught her.
But Jeanne Shaheen gets it. She puts people first.

Now she’s running for the Senate to change business as usual in Washington; end the no-bid contracts; cut taxes for the middle class, not Big Oil; and work to bring our troops home from Iraq.
A senator who puts New Hampshire first.
