Maggie Hassan

Democrat Maggie Hassan won the Senate seat against Republican candidate Kelly Ayotte. Hassan was Senator for six years but lost in 2012 for re-election. She has been governor of New Hampshire since 2013. During her time as governor she maintained high job approval ratings. Her campaign was to make Washington work better for the middle class. She started in public service as an advocate for children with special needs. Her son was born with cerebral palsy and she wants to “ensure that children like her son Ben, who experiences severe disabilities, would be fully included in their communities and have the same opportunities that all parents want for their children.” I think that she has great values and great plans for her time in Senate.
