Will continue working to ensure small businesses have the tools they need to succeed.
Occurrences
Evidence
Axios reported that Shaheen would join Rosen and Baldwin in introducing a bill aligned with Harris's proposal to expand tax breaks for creating a small business.
Her biography lists her as chair of the Senate Small Business Committee from September 27, 2023 to January 3, 2025, after previously serving as ranking member.
Assessments
The promise was framed as an ongoing commitment to keep working for small businesses, not as a pledge to enact one specific law. In the Senate term she won in 2020, Shaheen continued materially working on that issue: she served in senior leadership on the Senate Small Business Committee, including as chair from September 27, 2023 to January 3, 2025, and she backed legislation to expand tax breaks for creating small businesses in 2024. That is sufficient to show she continued the promised work during the same term, even though the evidence does not show a single completed policy outcome attributable solely to her.
