Manchester, N.H. – In a recent interview, Democratic nominee for New Hampshire’s 1st congressional district, Stefany Shaheen, challenged the numbers reported in Republican Anthony DiLorenzo’s personal financial disclosure. Shaheen said the figures “don’t add up” and suggested the filing may be misleading to voters.
Campaign focus and policy contrasts
Shaheen, who is running against DiLorenzo for the U.S. House seat, used the opportunity to outline her priorities for the district. She emphasized support for traditional families, calling for policies that protect parental rights and reduce the cost of living for working households. Shaheen warned that a looming home‑heating crisis this winter could strain families already coping with high energy bills, and she urged the federal government to act swiftly to ensure affordable heating for New Hampshire residents.
Health‑care stance
When asked about health‑care policy, Shaheen defended the Affordable Care Act’s provisions that protect people with pre‑existing conditions, while also advocating for market‑based reforms that increase competition and lower premiums. She criticized DiLorenzo’s plan to repeal the law, arguing it would leave vulnerable New Hampshire families without essential coverage.
Attacks on work history
During the conversation, Shaheen addressed recent attacks on her work history, describing them as “politically motivated smears.” She highlighted her experience as a former state senator and her record of supporting small businesses and job creation in the region. Shaheen said her background equips her to represent the district’s economic interests effectively.
DiLorenzo’s financial disclosure under scrutiny
Shaheen’s critique of DiLorenzo’s filing centers on discrepancies she believes exist between reported assets and known business interests. While she did not provide specific numbers, Shaheen urged voters to demand transparency from all candidates and to hold elected officials accountable for accurate financial reporting.
Looking ahead to the November race
As the campaign enters its final stretch, Shaheen pledged to continue touring the district, meeting with faith‑based groups, veterans, and small‑business owners. She reaffirmed her commitment to protecting constitutional freedoms, including the right to free speech and the right to bear arms, while promoting policies that strengthen families and local economies.
Both candidates are expected to appear at a series of town‑hall meetings in the coming weeks, giving New Hampshire voters a chance to hear directly on issues ranging from energy costs to health‑care reform and fiscal transparency.
