Shaheen Statement on Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act

(Washington, DC) – Today, U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) released the following statement on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act : “Americans have repeatedly made clear that they want Congress to take immediate action to address the soaring cost of living. This bipartisan legislation represents an important step that Congress can take right now to bring down household energy costs, ensure data centers pay their fair share and create new, good-paying jobs. "That said, I voted yes to initiate a rigorous debate and amendment process and have concerns about provisions that could weaken longstanding protections Granite Staters care deeply about. I remain committed to working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle in good faith throughout that debate to strengthen the legislation and ensure it delivers for New Hampshire.” ###
