REPORT: Q2 Fundraising proves Stefany Shaheen is a nepo baby & Maura Sullivan is a carpetbagger

July 22, 2025

The Q2 fundraising reports are in, and a new report reveals the truth about the NH-01 Democrat primary: Stefany Shaheen is a nepo baby and Maura Sullivan is a carpetbagger.

Out of the $532,000 that Shaheen brought in, more than $50,000 came from her family, and over $200,000 came from the very donors who bankroll her mom.

Meanwhile, an embarrassing 87% of Sullivan’s itemized deductions came from out-of-state liberals. 

“All you have to do is follow the money to see that Stefany Shaheen is a nepo baby and Maura Sullivan is carpetbagger. These Democrats are running for Congress to serve themselves and their own agenda, not Granite Staters.” — NRCC Spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole

In her latest Federal Election Commission filing for her NH-01 bid, Stefany Shaheen lists $50,600 in donations from family members, including $7,000 from each of her four children: Ellen, Annah, Caraline, and Will.

(Will Shaheen, the youngest, graduated from St. John’s Prep in May.)

“Maxing out to the tune of $7,000 in their early 20s is impressive,” said attorney and Democratic activist Jay Surdokowski. “I couldn’t afford that until I was at least 35 and even then it was a real stretch—still is, to be honest.”

More than $200,000 of Shaheen’s donations can be attributed to her mother, coming from individuals who have donated at least $1,000 to Sen. Shaheen’s campaigns in the past. That includes $5,000 each from seven PACs run by Shaheen and her fellow Senate Democrats:

The net result is a second-quarter haul of $532,286.09, and more criticism of Stefany Shaheen’s “Nepo Baby” campaign for Congress.

“Q2 fundraising reports are in, and in NH-01, they prove what we’ve been saying all along: Stefany Shaheen is a Nepo Baby who thinks her parents will buy the seat for her, and Maura Sullivan is a carpetbagger,” the National Republican Congressional Committee said in a statement.

The NRCC also called out Sullivan, a Marine veteran who served in Iraq and who was a member of the Obama administration’s Department of Veterans Affairs. Sullivan significantly outraised Stefany Shaheen, reporting $753,413. 48.

The NRCC dinged Sullivan over the fact that 87 percent of her itemized contributions came from out-of-state donors.

“Stefany Shaheen and Maura Sullivan are as out of touch as it comes. They’re running to represent hardworking Granite Staters, but the money shows they’re bought and paid for by elitists and out-of-state liberals,” NRCC spokeswoman Maureen O’Toole said.
