Senator Maggie Hassan
Senator Maggie Hassan has represented New Hampshire in the United States Senate since 2017. She is the second woman in American history to be elected both Governor and United States Senator, along with fellow New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
Senator Hassan has worked across the aisle to get results for Granite Staters and throughout her time in public service, Senator Hassan has been a champion for women. She has time and again stood up for and supported reproductive freedom for women. Senator Hassan has also led efforts to expand maternal health resources for women, particularly for women living in rural communities. Additionally, as part of her work to support veterans, she has also eliminated barriers to care that many women veterans face.
Senator Hassan was drawn to public service as an advocate fighting to ensure that children like her son Ben, who experiences severe disabilities, would be fully included in their communities. She was first elected to the New Hampshire Senate in 2004 and then in 2013 she was sworn in as the 81st Governor of New Hampshire.
She and her husband, Tom, live in Newfields and are the proud parents of two adult children, Ben and Meg.

We regret that Samrawit Silva will be unable to join us at this year’s GALA, due to extended international travel for her ongoing human rights work. We are grateful for and inspired by Samra’s courage and commitment and we look forward to spotlighting her story in the future.
