CONWAY — On a visit to North Conway on Thursday, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) called on local residents to voice their concerns about the looming debt ceiling crisis to the White House and the Speaker of the House.
Shaheen, taking advantage of Congress’ break for the holiday weekend, participated in a roundtable discussion hosted by the Mt. Washington Valley Chamber of Commerce at the White Mountains Community College branch in North Conway.
