Race background
Shaheen came under fire from Scott Brown, a former Massachusetts Senator who ran for Senate in New Hampshire, where he owned a vacation home. He criticized her for raising money off of his rumored run. He said, "I think it’s shameful for her to do that, for one, because I’m not a declared candidate. I think she should be addressing the government shutdown problem." Brown was criticized for doing the same thing in 2010 when MSNBC host, Rachel Maddow, was rumored to be running against him for the Senate. At the time, Brown's campaign defended the practice.[157]
Endorsements
Shaheen was endorsed by the following:
- On May 16, 2014, Independent Senator Angus King endorsed Shaheen (D-NH) over Brown.[158]
- Before being elected to the Senate, both King and Shaheen served as governors of their respective states, overlapping for six years during which they worked together on numerous issues.[159] In the Senate, the two colleagues were both included in a bipartisan group that helped end the 2013 government shutdown.[159]
- U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) travelled to New Hampshire to campaign for Shaheen against Scott Brown. Warren defeated Brown in Massachusetts' 2012 U.S. Senate election before Brown moved to New Hampshire.[160]
Media
- Ending Spending, Inc., a nonprofit group associated with the Ending Spending Action Fund, released a campaign ad in December 2013 criticizing incumbent Shaheen for supporting the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." The ad labeled Shaheen a liar for claiming that Obamacare would allow citizens to keep their insurance provider and increase choices.[161]
- Shaheen released her first campaign ad on May 4, 2014.[162]
- Shaheen released another campaign ad in May 2014, this time focusing on helping small businesses.[163]
- Americans for Prosperity released an ad opposing Shaheen for supporting Obamacare, linking the healthcare law to a decrease in hospitals.[164]

Personal Gain Index
- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
- See also: Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress)
The Personal Gain Index (U.S. Congress) is a two-part measurement that illustrates the extent to which members of the U.S. Congress have prospered during their tenure as public servants.
It consists of two different metrics:
PGI: Change in net worth
Based on congressional financial disclosure forms and calculations made available by OpenSecrets.org, Shaheen's net worth as of 2012 was estimated between $2,621,071 and $8,201,041. That averages to $5,411,056, which is lower than the average net worth of Democratic senators in 2012 of $13,566,333.90. Shaheen ranked as the 27th most wealthy senator in 2012.[166] Between 2007 and 2012, Shaheen's calculated net worth[167] increased by an average of 6 percent per year. Between 2004 and 2012, the average annual percentage increase for a member of Congress was 15.4 percent.[168]
Jeanne Shaheen Yearly Net Worth | |
---|---|
Year | Average Net Worth |
2007 | $4,211,482 |
2012 | $5,411,056 |
Growth from 2007 to 2012: | 28% |
Average annual growth: | 6%[169] |
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[170] |
The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.
PGI: Donation Concentration Metric
Filings required by the Federal Election Commission report on the industries that give to each candidate. Using campaign filings and information calculated by OpenSecrets.org, Ballotpedia calculated the percentage of donations by industry received by each incumbent over the course of his or her career (or 1989 and later, if elected prior to 1988). Shaheen received the most donations from individuals and PACs employed by the Women's Issues industry.
From 2001-2014, 23.53 percent of Shaheen's career contributions came from the top five industries as listed below.[171]
