She served in that position from 2013 to 2017. Hassan was the second woman in state history elected to lead New Hampshire. [2][3][4]</div><div>
</div><div>Hassan previously served in the New Hampshire State Senate, representing District 23 from 2004 to 2010. During her time in office, she served as majority leader, president pro tempore, and assistant Democratic whip.[5]</div><div>
</div><div>Biography</div><div>
</div><div>In the past, Hassan was involved in representing school systems in special education matters. In 1999, then-Governor Jeanne Shaheen (D) asked her to serve as an advocate on the Advisory Committee to the Adequacy in Education and Finance Commission.[6]</div><div>
</div><div>Before entering public service, Hassan was information officer for the Massachusetts Department of Social Services from 1980 to 1982. She then worked as an attorney for Palmer and Dodge from 1985 to 1992. She also worked as attorney/assistant general counsel for Brigham and Women's Hospital/Partners Healthcare from 1993 to 1996. She became an attorney for Sullivan, Weinstein, and McQuay in 1996.[5]</div><div>
</div><div>Hassan was born in Boston, but grew up Lincoln, Massachusetts. Hassan earned her B.A. from Brown University in 1980. She went on to receive her J.D. from Northeastern University School of Law in 1985.[7][8]</div><div>
</div><div>Career</div><div>
</div><div>Below is an abbreviated outline of Hassan's academic, professional and political career:[9]</div><div>
</div><div>2017-Present: U.S. Senator from New Hampshire</div><div>2013-2016: Governor of New Hampshire</div><div>2005-2010: New Hampshire state senator</div><div>2008-2010: Senate majority leader</div><div>1993-1996: Attorney/assistant general counsel for Brigham and Women's Hospital/Partners Healthcare</div><div>1985-1992: Attorney for Palmer and Dodge</div><div>1985: Graduated from Northeastern University School of Law with a J.D.</div><div>1980-1982: Information officer for the Massachusetts Department of Social Services</div><div>1980: Graduated from Brown University with a B.A.</div><div>Committee assignments</div><div>
</div><div>U.S. Senate</div><div>2017-2018</div><div>At the beginning of the 115th Congress, Hassan was assigned to the following committees:[10]</div><div>
</div><div>Joint Economic Committee</div><div>Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation</div><div>Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs</div><div>Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions</div><div>Presidential preference</div><div>

</div><div>Medical marijuana</div><div>In June 2013, Hassan signed House Bill 537 to legalize the use of medical marijuana by qualified patients in the state. The nineteenth state to approve such a measure, New Hampshire's version passed by a wide margin in the state house and by a voice vote in the senate. People with "serious health conditions" as defined by the law will be allowed to possess up to two ounces of the drug with a doctor's prescription. Conditions that qualify for a medical marijuana prescription include: cancer, HIV, AIDS, ALS, muscular dystrophy, Crohn’s disease and Alzheimer’s disease, among others. An earlier version of the bill would have allowed patients or their caregivers to grow their own marijuana, but that provision was removed when Hassan threatened to not sign the bill because of it. New Hampshire residents holding proper prescriptions will be able to obtain the medicinal drug from any of the four medical marijuana dispensaries scheduled to open across the state in 2015. The legislature passed a similar bill previously but it was vetoed by former Gov. John H. Lynch (D) and the legislature failed their override.[12][13][14]</div><div>
</div><div>Stance on Syrian refugee resettlement</div><div>Main article: U.S. governors and their responses to Syrian refugees</div><div>After the attacks in Paris, France, on November 13, 2015, many U.S. governors declared their support or opposition to Syrian refugee resettlement in their states. Hassan expressed conditional opposition to the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the state of New Hampshire. Her spokesman said:</div><div>
</div><div>“<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>[The governor] has always made clear that we must ensure robust refugee screening to protect American citizens, and believes that we must know more of the facts about those who carried out the Paris terrorist attacks and have strong assurances of safety from our intelligence officials before we admit refugees from Syria into the United States.[15]<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>”</div><div>—Spokesman for Gov. Hassan[16]</div><div>Commission on Healthcare Cost Containment</div><div>On February 17, 2010, Hassan introduced SB 505, a bill to establish a state commission on health care cost containment. The bill was signed into law in July of 2010, and by 2012 the Commission on Healthcare Cost Containment reported findings on the impact of federal health care reform, options for implementing a common payment system and ways to encourage the use of incentives to improve quality and efficiency.[17]</div><div>
