REPORT: Nepo Baby Stefany Shaheen Doesn’t Deserve a Promotion to Congress.

But Stephany Shaheen’s record speaks for itself, and from the beginning of her career, it’s been clear that Shaheen has had everything by her mom, and now wants Granite State voters to hand her a promotion to Congress.
The nepotism goes back to when Stefany Shaheen was 27 years old and served on a Commission on Child Care and Early Childhood Education. Jeanne Shaheen established that Commission while she was New Hampshire governor. Stefany Shaheen was quoted in a June 7, 2000 article published by the Union Leader, noting that New Hampshire businesses lost $24 million annually because of child-care-related problems. “It’s clear we will be hitting economic development at its core,” Stefany Shaheen said of the labor shortage.

In an April 14, 2002, article from New Hampshire Sunday News, Stefany Shaheen was listed as the “top staffer” of that group. Both Stefany and Jeanne Shaheen said Stefany was given the post because of her “educational background, research abilities, and her role as a mother.” Jeanne Shaheen sat on the group’s board of directors. A reporter from The Union Leader asked in May 2001 how many people applied for the post of executive director of Business Partners for Child Care and Early Childhood Education, but no one from the group returned their calls. Stefany Shaheen was also tight-lipped about how much she was paid for the post.
It also appears that Stefany Shaheen’s role with the Commission and job leading the business group were thanks to a Shaheen donor. The Commission was funded by a $5 million donation from the Providian Financial Corporation, and the business group was “substantially funded by Providian grants.” Providian and its CEO, Shallesh Mehta, were both donors to Jeanne Shaheen’s gubernatorial campaign.

But this isn’t the only time Stefany Shaheen benefited from her mom’s handouts and donors. For the past two years, Stefany Shaheen has been Director of Primary Bank. Its founder and chairman, Bill Greiner, endorsed Jeanne Shaheen in 2020. In 2023, the City of Manchester partnered with nonprofit Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing. Stefany Shaheen was the chief strategy officer at Advanced Regenerative Manufacturing (ARMI), and the nonprofit won $44 million in economic development funding from the Department of Commerce. Gina Raimondo, the Secretary of Commerce at the time, admitted that Manchester and ARMI’s application “stood out” because of “persistent advocacy” by Sen. Shaheen.
In 2020, Stefany Shaheen’s company, Good Measures, received a $890,000 PPP loan, which was later forgiven.

What’s clear is this: Stefany Shaheen has had everything handed to her by her mom, Jeanne Shaheen. And now she wants voters to give her a seat in Congress for it.
“Nepo Baby Stefany Shaheen has had everything in life handed to her by her mom, and she things running for Congress is no different,” said NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole. “But she’s about to learn the hard way: Granite Staters want a representative who knows how to stand on their own two feet and has a record of fighting for New Hampshire. Stefany Shaheen is not that candidate.”
