Trust Linked To Retiring Dem’s Husband Acquired Properties In ‘Snowbird’ Haven, Records Show

Trusts managed by retiring Democratic New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s husband acquired properties on Florida’s Gulf Coast prior to the senator’s retirement announcement, property records show.

Shaheen announced she would not seek reelection in a video posted to social media Wednesday morning. The announcement from the 78 year-old senator came after the New Hampshire Democrat faced intense speculation about whether she would retire instead of seeking a fourth term.

Multiple trusts managed by William Shaheen, the senator’s husband of more than five decades, put a house up for sale and acquired two additional properties totaling more than $3.5 million in Longboat Key, Florida, from March 2024 to November 2024, according to public records reviewed by the DCNF.
