Stefany Shaheen, the eldest daughter of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, won New Hampshire’s open 1st District Democratic primary, defeating Maura Sullivan as rivals tried to weaponize the surname; with the seat open after Rep. Chris Pappas, the race is expected to be competitive in November, aided by early fundraising from donors tied to her mother and by Shaheen’s own public-service credentials.
Stefany Shaheen, daughter of Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, is running in New Hampshire’s open 1st District, but faces attacks that she’s benefiting from a famous family name; about $740,000 of her fundraising came from donors who previously gave to her mother (roughly 39% of itemized dollars), underscoring the dynasty angle as she touts local service and her own record. Her main rival Maura Sullivan argues the race is about merit, while polls show a tight contest ahead of Tuesday’s ballot, in a state featuring multiple dynastic headlines on the same day.
