What these lines mean
These lines come from this official’s entry in the Congressional Directory, which Congress publishes. Each member’s office supplies or approves its entry. We save our own copy and sort each part of the entry by fixed rules. No AI is used.
Previous profession lists the work the entry names outside public office, in the Directory’s own words. Public office here means an elected or appointed position, staff work for an elected official or a legislature, and party or campaign work.
Lifelong politician means: Congress’s biography lists no occupation outside public office. It also means the entry lists no military service. A person on our side confirms these words before they appear.
Years in public office counts elected and appointed positions only. Staff work and party work are left out. Each year counts once.
Since the current Congress began on January 3, 2025, Shaheen has a recorded vote on 38 laws that passed.
This record covers laws that passed. Votes on bills that did not become law are not included yet.
The record in plain language
Of the 118 laws passed since January 3, 2025, 38 came to a recorded vote in the Senate while Shaheen is a member. The rest passed the Senate by voice vote or without objection, which records no individual votes.
Shaheen votes Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention, the HALT Fentanyl Act, the defense policy law for fiscal year 2026, the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act and the Russia and Iran sanctions law.
On funding the government, Shaheen votes Yes on the March 2025 full-year funding law; the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown; the January 2026 funding law for science, energy, Interior and the EPA; the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies; and the September 2026 funding extension.
Shaheen votes No on the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the 2025 tax and spending law; the GENIUS Act on stablecoins (digital tokens pegged to the dollar); the Rescissions Act of 2025, which cancelled about $9 billion in approved spending; and the Secure America Act, a 2026 budget law.
Congress cancelled 24 federal rules by recorded vote in the Senate in that time. Shaheen votes to cancel 0 and against cancelling 23, and did not vote on 1.
Shaheen votes differently from most Senate Democrats on 4 of 37 Yes and No votes: Yes on the February 2026 funding law for a further group of agencies, Yes on the November 2025 law that ended the 43-day shutdown, Yes on the March 2025 full-year funding law and Yes on the Laken Riley Act on immigration detention.
Shaheen did not vote on the law that cancels a land agency decision that limited oil and gas leasing on the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Read from the lists Congress printed for 4 laws. An item requested by several members appears under each of them, so sums across members count such an item more than once. A list the Congressional Record printed on two days is counted once, from the later printing. A requester is tied to a member only when exactly one member serving in that chamber on that day has the printed name.
