Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) wants to talk about bipartisanship. In the 2025 tax fight, there’s a solid chance that’s going to be the name of the game.
Among Democrats, Hassan is one of the most vocal advocates of reviving a bigger tax break for companies’ research and development spending, which she’s worked on with members from across the aisle. Hassan likes to talk about tax cuts that boost businesses more than some of her fellow Democrats, along with party priorities like the child tax credit.
We spoke with New Hampshire’s junior senator for our latest Q&A on the 2025 tax debate. For our Q&A’s, we’re asking key tax writers similar questions and selecting a few to spotlight. This interview was edited for length and clarity.
