Senator Hassan Recognized as the #1 Most Effective U.S. Senator

WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) was named the most effective United States Senator by the nonpartisan Political Grades project. Senator Hassan's was also recently awarded the University of Cincinnati's Portman Center for Policy Solutions' "Bipartisan Public Service Award."

"My top priority in the Senate is getting results for the people of New Hampshire. I am committed to working across the aisle to build lasting solutions to the challenges our families and businesses face," said Senator Hassan. "I will continue working every day to represent our state's Live Free or Die values and make life better and more affordable for Granite Staters."

Political Grades measures both Senators and Representatives on a series of metrics to determine the most effective member of Congress. Factors include the number of bills they help advance, attendance, and improvement in state metrics since the member has taken office. To read the full Political Grades report, click here.

Senator Hassan has worked across the aisle to help pass multiple bills into law, including the No Surprises Act to protect patients from receiving unexpected medical bills; the PACT Act, a historic bill that fundamentally reforms and improves the ways in which veterans exposed to toxic substances receive health care and benefits from the VA; and the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, which includes a number of key provisions to help advance Granite State priorities. This year, two of Senator Hassan's bipartisan measures to lower prescription drug costs passed into law: the Increasing Transparency in Generic Drug Applications Act to speed the approval of generic drugs and in turn lower prices for consumers, and the Patients Before Middlemen (PBM) Act to help stop pharmacy benefit managers from driving up prescription drug pricing for seniors.

Senator Hassan was previously named a "Bridge Builder" by the non-partisan Bridge Pledge organization and the most bipartisan Member of Congress by the nonpartisan Common Ground Committee in 2024.
