Americans for Job Security

Senate candidate Jeanne Shaheen: Campaign PhotoTwo organizations are hitting the Granite State airwaves with advertisements targeting Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Jeanne Shaheen on the issue of spending.

“On the economy, Jeanne Shaheen’s positions just don’t add up,” an announcer says in a 30-second television advertisement launched by the conservative Club for Growth today.

“As governor, Shaheen enacted the first statewide property tax. Proposed the first ever sales tax. Said she would sign the first state income tax. But that’s not all. Shaheen opposed lawsuit reforms, making it harder for New Hampshire businesses to grow. Tell Jeanne Shaheen, we need lower taxes and lawsuit reform to help our economy.”

The ad is set to run for two weeks on broadcast and cable television stations throughout New Hampshire. The media buy totals $400,000.

Editors note: This is a daily summary of news about the U.S. Senate race between U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) and former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury).

Today in the U.S. Senate race Kathy Sullivan pens an op-ed piece for The Huffington Post and Sununu is targeted by the AMA.

$200,000 in five days: That is the most recent fundraising goal former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) has set for her supporters.

"Why five days? Because June 30th is the last day we can accept contributions for this reporting period," wrote Shaheen's finance director Louisa Whitney in an email to supporters. "Why $200,000? Because that's how much John Sununu's Washington attack machine is spending on negative attacks on Jeanne Shaheen."

The New Hampshire Democratic Party has filed a complaint with the Federal Elections Commission against the group Americans for Job Security.

The organization recently began airing radio ads titled "Taxes Hurt," which takes aim at former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen's economic record. Shaheen, a Democrat, is running for U.S. Senate against current U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley).
