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 both Shaheen and Sununu sent out last minute fundraising appeals.

The U.S. Senate race is developing into a regular routine.

Jeanne Shaheen will host an event and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) will issue a press release or a new web video criticizing Shaheen. Today was no different.

This afternoon, in Salem, Shaheen began her three-day "Middle Class Matters" tour and the NRSC issued a new YouTube video on Shaheen.

Former Gov. Jeanne Shaheen (D-Madbury) and U.S. Sen. John Sununu (R-Waterville Valley) both focused on clean energy today.

Sununu announced in a press release today that he is a sponsor of the Clean Energy Tax Stimulus Act. The act would extend tax credits for renewable energy sources and provide tax incentives to improve energy efficiency.

"These renewable energy tax credits help lower this burden and represent smart investment policy for our environment. Most important, the bill makes good sense for New Hampshire where our wood, biomass, and wood pellet industries here have provided jobs across the state," Sununu said.
