Former Portsmouth City Councilor Stefany Shaheen will not be running for governor in 2016.
Shaheen, the oldest daughter of U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Democratic National Committeeman Bill Shaheen, considered joining the field for the Democratic nomination but concluded that it is not in the best interest of her family at this time.
"It was not an easy decision," she said in a phone interview. "We all care so much about what's at stake in New Hampshire."
Shaheen, 41, and her husband, Craig Welch, have four children, the oldest being 16-year-old Elle, who has type 1 diabetes. She has chronicled her daughter's life with diabetes in her book "Elle & Coach," Coach being the yellow Lab and medic-alert dog.
