Senate Conservatives Fund: Update on Endorsed US Senate Candidates

Arthur: Our seven endorsed candidates for the U.S. Senate are all running strong, competitive campaigns, but they need help to win. Please read the updates below and then make a contribution to support their campaigns. MIKE BRAUN – Indiana Businessman Mike Braun (R-IN) raised $2.5 million in the past quarter and currently has a slight lead over Senator Joe Donnely (D-IN) in the polls. It's not surprising that Donnelly is now ducking debates with Braun and is spending millions on attacks against him. Braun released a new TV ad to set the record straight and he's working hard to spread his message as a conservative outsider. This race gives Republicans one of the best pick-up opportunities across the country. Donate to Mike Braun. PATRICK MORRISEY – West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) is back to his old trick of pretending to be a centrist. In his latest act, he said Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) could "kiss my you know what" when asked about Schumer's efforts to pressure Manchin to oppose President Trump's Supreme Court nominee. It's clever posturing to get favorable headlines in West Virginia, but the truth is Manchin has benefited from millions of dollars from Schumer and his liberal campaign machine and will be a loyal supporter after the election. Morrisey currently trails Manchin by 6 points in the average of public polls, but he can close that gap if he has the funds to set the record straight. Donate to Patrick Morrisey. MARSHA BLACKBURN – Tennessee The new vacancy on the Supreme Court highlights the importance of the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee and shows why electing U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is critical. Former Governor Phil Bredesen (D-TN) was hand-picked and personally courted by Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) to run for the Senate. There's no question that he will be bad on judges and must be defeated. Bredesen is well-known in the state and currently leads Blackburn by 5 points in the average of public polls. The Democrats will go all-out to win this race because they know it's the key to taking back the majority in the Senate. Meanwhile, many establishment donors within Tennessee think they can "work with" Bredesen and so they are backing their old pal instead of Blackburn. This goes to show how important conservative grassroots support will be in this race! Donate to Marsha Blackburn. TED CRUZ – Texas Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) continues to keep his promises and fight for less government and more freedom. He's one of the leaders in the Senate when it comes to confirming good judges and he has vocally stood up for strong immigration enforcement at a time when many liberals want to abolish ICE and have open borders. Cruz's conservative leadership has made him a top target of the left, which is why his opponent, U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke (D-TX), is raising tens of millions of dollars. Cruz leads O'Rourke by 8 points in the average of public polls, but conservatives cannot take this race for granted. Donate to Ted Cruz. JOHN JAMES – Michigan Combat veteran and businessman John James (R-MI) continues to gain support in the Republican primary election for U.S. Senate. But he faces a real challenge from Sandy Pensler (R-MI), a liberal “Republican” who first ran for Congress in 1992. He’s using $5 million of his own personal fortune to attack James on the airwaves and to drown out the voices of the conservative grassroots. Pensler is pro-choice, he favors government-run health care, and he is highly critical of President Trump. That's why conservatives must unite and help John James win this critical nomination. Donate to John James. MATT ROSENDALE – Montana Coming off the primary victory, State Auditor Matt Rosendale (R-MT) is raising money at a faster rate and is gaining in the polls. In June, he trailed Senator Jon Tester (D-MT) by eight points, but a month later he only trails by 3 points. Senator Tester continues to do everything he can to convince the voters that he's one of them, but his record is one of a very liberal politician. Vice President Mike Pence will be in Montana later this month to campaign for Rosendale in what is one of the biggest battleground races in the country. If voters learn the truth about "two-faced Tester," Rosendale will win. Donate to Matt Rosendale. JOSH HAWLEY – Missouri A new poll shows State Attorney General Josh Hawley overtaking Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) by two points (48% Hawley, 46% McCaskill). Hawley still trails McCaskill in the average of public polls by one point, but he's moving in the right direction. McCaskill continues to duck debates with Hawley and will likely oppose the nomination of Brett Kavanagh to the U.S. Supreme Court. This race gives conservatives a major pick-up opportunity, but Hawley will need a lot of help to make sure Missouri voters know the truth about McCaskill and her liberal record. Donate to Josh Hawley. The stakes are very high. Control of the Senate is on the line as well as the future of many important policy debates. Thank you for your support.

SCF: Trump Rally in Montana for Matt Rosendale

This is big.

President Trump is rallying the troops, firing up the base in all the target states for US Senate this election cycle.

He's already gone to Indiana, and he has worked the crowds in Missouri.

Now he's come to Montana to help State Auditor Matt Rosendale, who is running to oust two-faced liar Jon Tester, the self-serving liberal fraud who diminished one of Trump's nominees for the Secretary of Veterans Affairs.

Right now, Rosendale is trailing, but these movements should help Rosendale get his name out there for more people to see him and know more about him.

Arthur: President Donald Trump, along with son Donald Jr., flew into Great Falls, Montana on Thursday to campaign for Matt Rosendale (R-MT) who is challenging Senator Jon Tester (D-MT). Trump said it was time to retire Tester who sides with the liberals in his party over the voters in Montana. “A vote for Jon Tester is a vote for Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi and the new leader of the Democratic Party, Maxine Waters,” he said. Donald Trump Jr. reminded the crowd that Tester only started buying hunting tags when Republicans noticed that he hadn't for years. "You know he went 15 years without a hunting license… That’s why we call him two-faced Tester," said Donald Jr. "You can’t show up in blaze orange after 15 years without a hunting license and pretend that you’re a hunter. You can maybe make that work in New York City, but that’s it – not this side of the Mississippi.” A poll taken last month showed the lesser known Rosendale trailing Tester by 9 points. The president's visit to Montana this week should help Rosendale begin to close the gap, but we still have a lot of work to do to win this battleground election. We're working to help Rosendale get his message out and to inform voters about Jon Tester's record. Like many Democrats, Tester portrays himself as a moderate in Montana, but sides with the liberals when he's in Washington, DC. Please join us and President Trump in supporting Matt Rosendale for U.S. Senate by making a contribution to his campaign. Your donation of $25, $50, $100 or more will help replace a liberal Democrat with a principled conservative in the U.S. Senate. If you can't donate, please contact those you know who either live in Montana or who have connections in the state, and urge them to support Matt Rosendale for U.S. Senate. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and the RINOs in the Senate have put the majority at risk with their failure to keep the party's promises. We need to work together to elect conservatives who will help save the Senate and stand up to the liberals in both parties. Thank you for your support. Sincerely, Ken Cuccinelli II President Senate Conservatives Fund @KenCuccinelli / @SCF Please share this on Facebook and Twitter.

Senate Conservatives Fund: Jim Jordan for Speaker of the House

Arthur: The entire Washington establishment is lining up behind Congressman Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) to replace Congressman Paul Ryan (R-WI) as the next Speaker of the House, but electing him will hurt President Trump and Republicans across the nation. McCarthy is not conservative. He has supported budget-busting spending bills, massive increases in debt, and taxpayer funding for Obamacare, amnesty, and Planned Parenthood. But even beyond his lack of conservative convictions, Kevin McCarthy is too weak to advance Republican priorities. It's why his colleagues skipped over him in 2015 when they were looking for a new Speaker following John Boehner's resignation. And it's why then-candidate Donald J. Trump said he was unfit to lead Republicans in Congress. Specifically, Trump said McCarthy lacked the necessary "brainpower" and "toughness" for the job and took credit for getting House Republicans to reject McCarhty. Brainpower and toughness. These are attributes possessed by Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) and it's why conservatives across the nation want him to be the next Speaker of the House. Please sign the national petition urging House Republicans to elect Jim Jordan as Speaker of the House. We need your help to build a grassroots army that will push Congress to go in a new, more principled direction. Thank you for doing so much to help fight for the future of our country. We're honored to partner with you. Sincerely, Ken Cuccinelli II President Senate Conservatives Action

Senate Conservatives Fund: YUGE Victory in West Virginia for MAGA Agenda

I can't withhold my joy following the May 8th, 2018 primaries in four states:

1. Indiana
2. North Carolina
3. Ohio
4. West Virginia

The US Senate GOP primary in West Virginia was not only contentious, but worrisome. Would establishment candidate Evan Jenkins make it? What about that Blakenship guy, a convicted felon who had violated mining laws and endangered the lives of his workers?

The best candidate was -- and it -- Patrick Morrisey. A conservative, concerned citizen, and well-read attorney general is the best candidate going forward to fight for working West Virginians.

But ... within days of the primary, it looked as if the convicted felon was going to win the primary. The shock poll had everyone worried.

But ... Morrisey pulled it off!

Here's the full report from the Senate Conservatives Fund:

Arthur: We are very proud to report that Attorney General Patrick Morrisey, our endorsed candidate for U.S. Senate in West Virginia, won the Republican nomination yesterday. Morrisey won this race despite the fact that Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and his political machine supported liberal Congressman Evan Jenkins (R-WV) and despite the fact that he was massively outspent by Don Blankenship (R-WV). This is a major victory for conservatives, but now we need to help Morrisey defeat liberal Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV). Please help replace a liberal Democrat with a strong conservative by making a contribution to Patrick Morrisey's campaign. SCF will pay all processing fees and transfer 100% of your contribution to his grassroots campaign. Individuals are allowed to donate up to $2,700 to Morrisey for the general election and couples can give up to $5,400. But any amount will help him get his message out, win this seat, and become a powerful voice for conservatives in the Senate. Please make a contribution of $25, $50, $100, or more to Patrick Morrisey's U.S. Senate campaign. Thank you for making this victory possible. Your support for SCF and Patrick Morrisey has put us in a place where we can elect someone who will truly fight for our principles. Sincerely, Ken Cuccinelli II President Senate Conservatives Fund @KenCuccinelli / @SCF Please share this on Facebook and Twitter.

Now, what about Joe Manchin, the embattled incumbent?

Well, he was facing a primary challenge from the left, a Bernie-crat socialist who wanted the government to do more for the hurting West Virginians, when government excesses are causing the rising poverty and privation.

Men need work, and Washington DC has spent more time undermining the working classes and backbone industries which have made America great and kept the country independent from foreign influence and intervention.

Manchin won his primary, but with 60% of the vote. Nearly 40% of West Virginia Democrats wanted someone else besides Manchin. This guy is not only facing a tough general election, but it looks as though the state is going to become a GOP sweep from top to bottom.

There is no way Manchin can survive now, especially with a candidate so well-liked by the President and the manifold coalition of Trump supporters who define West Virginia today.

Victory: Trump Withdraws from Bad Iran Deal

“The Iran Deal was one of the worst and most one-sided transactions the United States has ever entered into.” – President Donald J. Trump Arthur: President Trump announced his decision today to withdraw the United States from the Iran deal and to re-impose sanctions that were lifted under the agreement. This is a major victory for America's national security interests and President Trump should be applauded for his leadership. The Iran deal enriched an evil regime that lied about its efforts to develop nuclear weapons, and supports terrorist groups that are hostile to America and our allies. Please take a moment to send the president an email thanking him for making this important decision. As you know, President Trump will be criticized for this by liberals in Congress and in the media. It's important that we communicate our support for his conservative policies. When shows leadership like this, he needs to know that we have his back. Click here to send an instant message to the White House. Thank you for being part of our team and for doing so much to help us work against this failed agreement. Now we must work together to support President Trump's efforts to secure our borders. Too many Republicans in Congress are dragging their feet on this and putting our nation at risk.

The Establishment is Striking Back! Defend Conservative US Senate Candidates!

Arthur: I'm writing to share some important information with you related to three critical U.S. Senate elections. Please take a minute to read this update and then take action to help build a conservative Senate!   TENNESSEE – MARSHA BLACKBURN Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) just can't stop helping the Democrats. It was bad enough that he helped President Obama enact the Iran nuclear deal and now he's doing everything he can to undermine conservative Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) in her bid for the U.S. Senate. In fact, he's rooting for her opponent! This week, Corker went out of his way to praise Phil Bredesen (D-TN). "I think he’s got real appeal — I don’t think it, I know it," Corker told reporters at a breakfast in Washington. “He was a very good mayor, a very good governor, a very good business person,” Corker said. Senator Corker is apparently so upset that Republicans in Tennessee want him to retire that he's decided to help the Democrats. Unfortunately, this will make it even harder for Marsha Blackburn to win this race. Please don't let liberal Bob Corker get his wish. Make a contribution to Marsha Blackburn's U.S. Senate campaign today.   WEST VIRGINIA – PATRICK MORRISEY The Republican primary in West Virginia is a race between conservative state Attorney General Patrick Morrisey (R-WV), liberal Congressman Evan Jenkins (R-WV), and former coal-executive Don Blankenship (R-WV). Morrisey will fight for our principles, Jenkins will lock arms with Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and betray us, and Blankenship will likely lose to Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) given the fact that he went to prison for mine safety violations. Now is the time for conservatives to dig deep and help Patrick Morrisey win this race. He's being attacked by Evan Jenkins on TV and he needs help to respond so West Virginia Republicans know the truth about his record. Also, early voting begins next week so it's important for Morrisey to get help soon. Please don't let Mitch McConnell elect another RINO. Make a contribution to Patrick Morrisey's campaign today.   TEXAS – TED CRUZ Not only did liberal Congressman Beto O'Rourke (D-TX) raise a whopping $6.7 million in the first quarter of 2018 for his campaign to unseat Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX), but now there's a new poll showing him trailing Cruz by only 3 points!! The Quinnipiac University poll found 47% support for Cruz and 44% for O'Rourke. The poll surveyed registered voters as opposed to likely voters so it's an imperfect measurement of the race. But ... and this is important ... the poll shows that if O'Rourke and the Democrats find a way to increase their voter turnout, they could win this race. Conservatives ignore this race at their own peril. We must continue to help Senator Cruz raise the funds he needs to compete with his opponent's fundraising machine. Please don't let this gun-grabbing, open-borders, tax-and-spend liberal win. Make a contribution to Ted Cruz's campaign now. Thank you for being part of our team and for doing so much to support conservative leadership in Washington. Sincerely, Ken Cuccinelli II President Senate Conservatives Fund @KenCuccinelli / @SCF Please share this on Facebook and Twitter.

We're working to mobilize grassroots conservatives across the country to help elect principled candidates. Please support our efforts with a contribution to Senate Conservatives Fund today.

Senate Conservatives Fund: Uproot Obamacare, Don't Fertilize It

Arthur: After failing to repeal the law they campaigned against for nearly a decade, Republicans may use the upcoming omnibus spending bill to bail out Obamacare with taxpayer-funded subsidies. Republican leaders are working on a plan to provide roughly $30 billion in bailout money for health insurance companies.  If they succeed, Republicans will not only have failed to repeal Obamacare, they will have helped the Democrats expand it. Instead of repealing it "root and branch" like they promised, they will have watered and fertilized it! Once Congress starts bailing out insurance companies, the bailouts will never end. Liberals in both parties will forever call for more money to "stabilize" the marketplace. Tell Senate Republicans to oppose Obamacare bailouts. You can send a blast e-mail message to all Senate Republicans with just a few clicks using our advocacy platform. Bailing out Obamacare would be a major mistake. Not only will it make it harder to repeal Obamacare, but we've already seen that these subsidies don't work in terms of lowering premiums. The only way to do that is to repeal the benefit regulations that have made coverage so expensive. Also, this policy betrayal will depress Republican turnout in November, making it even easier for the Democrats to win key races. We can stop this bailout, but we must take action now. If Senate Republicans know that voters are watching and they will be held accountable for this betrayal, they will reverse course. But it's up to us to make sure they get the message. Thank you for making your voice heard. Sincerely, Ken Cuccinelli II President Senate Conservatives Action

Senate Conservatives Fund Reminds Liddle Bob Corker: It's Time to Retire!

The Senate Conservatives Fund already witnesses the epic disaster which can overwhelm a red US Senate race if there are desperate primary fights tying up and wasting Republican monies.

The Democratic challenger for Tennessee's US Senate seat has a relative level of popularity, especially since he was governor nearly 20 years ago, and most people will likely recall basically conservative governing views and decisions.

Marsha Blackburn is the best choice to continue representing Tennessee's interests in the US Senate, ensuring that the Senate governing majority actually acts like one.

Bob Corker is thinking about not retiring?

He should go back to his original plan and go away!

Arthur: We just received the results from our latest poll of the U.S. Senate race in Tennessee and I wanted you to be the first to know. As liberal Senator Bob Corker (R-TN) reconsiders his decision to retire, he should proceed with great caution. According to our survey, likely Republican primary voters want him to retire by an overwhelming margin. Retire - 64% Seek Re-Election - 24% Unsure - 12% And if Senator Corker were to run against the two Republicans already in the race, he would lose by 23 points to conservative U.S. Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) if the election were held today. Marsha Blackburn - 49% Bob Corker - 26% Steven Fincher - 9% Undecided - 17% Looking at the favorable and unfavorable opinions that Republican primary voters have of Corker and Blackburn it's clear that if Corker runs, it will be at his own peril. While Corker has a negative net image (-2%), Blackburn has a very positive net image (+43%). BOB CORKER Very Favorable - 18% Somewhat Favorable - 29% Somewhat Unfavorable - 27% Very Unfavorable - 22% Not Sure / No Opinion - 4% MARSHA BLACKBURN Very Favorable - 36% Somewhat Favorable - 28% Somewhat Unfavorable - 10% Very Unfavorable - 11% Not Sure / No Opinion - 15% While many in the swamp are cheering the idea of Senator Corker running again, Republican voters in Tennessee are not.  If he wants to throw his hat back into the ring, that's his prerogative. But we won't back down from supporting Marsha Blackburn. If you haven't already donated to her campaign, please contribute $25, $50, $100, or more today. Thank you for being part of our team to build a conservative Senate. We hope this polling data is helpful to you.
