Informational Session with the Office of U.S. Senator Shaheen on FY25 Congressionally Directed Spending Requests

One of the most fundamental constitutional duties of Congress is the appropriations process, the annual allocation of funds for federal discretionary programs that support national defense, small businesses, transportation, food assistance for low-income seniors, research and development, and much more. As a senior 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. In FY 2022, Senator Shaheen secured $69,047,000 for New Hampshire projects. In FY 2023, Senator Shaheen secured $111,359,972 for 105 New Hampshire projects.
