In a radio debate Tuesday, both Republicans running for U.S. Senate in New Hampshire criticized incumbent Jeanne Shaheen over businesses tied to her family that took part in the federal Paycheck Protection Program.
In all, five businesses with ties to Shaheen collected almost $3 million in loans. Shaheen had no part in awarding the money.
Republican candidate Corky Messner, in particular, criticized the loan that went to a law firm founded by Shaheen's husband.
