SENATOR JEANNE SHAHEEN - FY2024 CONGRESSIONALLY DIRECTED SPENDING REQUESTS

As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, Senator Shaheen looks to ensure that the federal government invests in policies and programs that provide assistance to Granite State communities and help our nation move forward.
