“I first appointed George as DRED Commissioner because I knew that he had an incredibly selfless dedication to the people of New Hampshire.

I got to attend a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing on the implementation of the New START Treaty. I was sitting behind Senator Shaheen as she spoke to witnesses and asked them various questions. It was a completely different experience to sit with her rather t...

As with all of Senator Jeanne Shaheen’s DC interns, I recently spent a day tailing the Senator as she met with constituents, addressed advocacy groups and spoke at the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) press conference.  When I accidentally turned off the lights during the press conference while the Senator and others were speaking, I truly made it...
