CONWAY — Businesswoman, mother and New York Times best-selling author turned Democratic congressional hopeful Stefany Shaheen came to North Conway on Monday and took part in an interview at SUN-TV to talk about her campaign.
During the interview, Shaheen — daughter of U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) — explained why she's running in 2026 for the seat that Rep. Chris Pappas is vacating (Pappas is seeking the seat of the retiring Jeanne Shaheen).Â
