Bill Shaheen (sometimes "Billy" Shaheen) is the husband of U. S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen. He is a prominent New Hampshire lawyer and co-founder of the Shaheen & Gordon law firm; he currently serves as a board member at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at Saint Anselm College. He and Jeanne Shaheen have three children. Shaheen served as Al Gore's New Hampshire campaign manager in the 2000 presidential primary, where he won a narrow but critical victory against Bill Bradley. In the 2008 presidential campaign, Shaheen was a national co-chair of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign and a co-chair of her New Hampshire campaign. He resigned from the campaign in December 2007 after stating that Clinton opponent Barack Obama might be less electable because the press might wonder if Obama, who is black, had sold drugs in college. (Obama had acknowledged using drugs when he was younger, describing it as a mistake.) "It'll be, 'When was the last time? Did you ever give drugs to anyone? Did you sell them to anyone?'" he said. Shaheen apologized later that day, and reiterated his apology in his resignation the next day.
