IMPORTANT GOP House Primary Races: And How You Can Help (Northeast and South)

Posted on 05/09/2014 12:57:12 PM PDT by campaignPete R-CT

NORTHEAST and SOUTH

There are numerous important House Primary Races! And places where we can WIN! PLEASE contribute! And if you can't contribute money ... the least we can do is go to their pages and give them a "like" or a tweet. All of these candidates are involved in primaries that are close (or could be close) against generally more moderate or liberal Republicans. All of these districts are winnable in November.

Maine:
BRUCE POLIQUIN, MAINE-2, JUNE 10th .... Open Seat

Endorsed by: Maine Right to Life, Freedom Works

Bruce Poliquin -- FACEBOOK -- TWITTER -- DONATE

FreedomWorks: "As a successful businessman with more than 30 years in the financial industry, Poliquin understands the economic problems facing America. As the State Treasurer of Maine, Poliquin saved his state 1.7 billion dollars. He believes the best way to create jobs is to substantially lower taxes and regulations. Poliquin has demonstrated the experience to lower government spending, and represents the best choice for Maine voters who believe in fiscal conservatism." Poliquin is the underdog in his race against GOP opponent Raye who has long been backed by the usual Snowe-Collins "pro-choice" crowd. Read here.


New York:
ELISE STEFANIK, NEW YORK-21, JUNE 24th ... Open Seat

Endorsed by: Susan B Anthony List, Conservative Party of NY, NY State Right to Life, Doug Hoffman

Elise Stefanik -- FACEBOOK -- TWITTER -- DONATE

29-year old Elise is probably a slight favorite to beat '10 & '12 candidate Doheny. This is the famous Doug Hoffman vs. Dede Scazzafava district.


New York:
CLAUDIA TENNEY, NEW YORK-22, JUNE 24th ... Challenging incumbent

Endorsed by: Susan B Anthony List, Conservative Party of NY

Claudia Tenney -- FACEBOOK -- TWITTER -- DONATE

Hanna is the 3rd most liberal Republican in Congress, a Planned Parenthood favorite. Tenney is taking him on next month in this upstate district!


New Hampshire:
FRANK GUINTA, NEW HAMPSHIRE-1, September 9th ... would face incumbent DEM Shea-Porter in NOV.


Endorsed by: Pam Smith, Conservative Activist, Manchester, Bob Bird, Conservative Activist, Wolfeboro, etc.


Frank Guinta -- FACEBOOK -- TWITTER -- DONATE

Pro-lifer Guinta is favored to beat Republican Dan Innis, who is backed by the The Gay and Lesbian Victory Fund.


Alabama:
CHAD MATHIS, ALABAMA-6, June 3rd ... 2 CONSERVATIVES trying to get into the run-off in this OPEN SEAT.

Endorsed by: Club for Growth, Sen. Mike Lee, Gun Owners of America, FreedomWorks

GARY PALMER, ALABAMA-6, June 3rd ... 2 CONSERVATIVES trying to get into the run-off in this OPEN SEAT.
Endorsed by: Gary Bauer, Ralph Reed, Tony Perkins


Dr. Chad Mathis

Chad Mathis -- FACEBOOK -- TWITTER -- DONATE


Gary Palmer

Gary Palmer -- FACEBOOK -- TWITTER -- DONATE

Conservatives Palmer and Mathis need to get into the run-off in this crowded primary. I think you will find that their opponents Brooke and DeMarco are not conservative enough for FreeRepublic, Alabama-style.

Shameful, I agree we should reject those candidates that tell blatant lies about their primary opponents.

But, but, Moll says that he’s Tea Party, and has been giving conservative speeches for six months now; and a little bird told me that he’s the step-brother-in-law of liberal former Lt. Gov. Bill Halter, and that it would be greatly embarrassing to Halter should Moll be elected.

I know some of these aren’t from the correct region but disproportionate amount of those surveyed are from the south.

Filing closed in MA.

Besides the liberal RINO homosexual in district 6 we may have a chance in district 9 (it’s rated as safe D by everyone as of now).

According to the latest FEC filings 2 Republicans running have some appreciable resources. Former Reagan aide John Chapman and lawyer Dan Shores.

There’s a new GOP contender in NH-2

http://www.wmur.com/political-scoop/firstever-africanamerican-to-run-for-congress-in-nh-emerges/26402326#!WS2OI

Former State Rep. Jim Lawrence, according to this article he’s the first Black candidate to ever run for Congress in NH.

I don’t know if he’s preferable to the lovely Marilinda Garcia.

Also mentioned in article is Eddie Edwards (R), the South Hampton Police Chief who’s trying to become the first Black State Senator. District 4, which in 2012 went for Obama 58%-40% and for elected a rat Senator 55%-45%.

Poll in NY-18

Former Rep. Nan Hayworth (R/C/IP) 44%, Sean Maloney (D/WF) 40%

Terrible polling for the incumbent, Maloney. Hopefully Hayworth will take her seat back (along with a few others in Dem-overrepresented NY).

Hayworth is no prize (she’s like Sue Kelly Version 2.0), but way preferable to that gay ultraliberal RAT. I like Hayworth’s chances, particularly since she, not Maloney, will be on the Independence Party ballot line.

That CD is one of a handful nationwide that went GOP in 2002 and 2004, RAT in 2006 and 2008, GOP in 2010 and RAT in 2012, perfectly matching the national electirate’s mood. Hopefully it will swing back to the GOP in what’s looking like a very good GOP year.

CT05 is your home district, right?

What’s the latest in that CD? Do you have an assessment of Greenberg and his chances for an epic take down of Esty?

I support Greenberg 100%.
Democrats don’t like to lose in this state.
Greenberg has to improve certain areas of his campaign effort to have a chance.
I avoid public critiques.

New England College Poll

NH-1

Guinta (R) 46%, Che-Porter (D) 44%

NH-2

Kusterd (D) 46%, Garcia (R) 43%

NH Governor

Hassan (D) 49%, Havenstein (R) 44%

Monmouth Poll

NJ CD-5

Scott Garrett (R) 48%, Roy Cho (D) 43%

Considered a safe GOP seat, something going on or a BS poll? Cho is financially competitive but still lags well behind Garrett in fundraising.

Critical Insights Poll

ME Governor

LePage (R) 39%, Michaud 36%, Cutler (I) 21%

ME CD-2

Poliquin 41% (R), Cain (D) 36%

Remington Research Group Poll

IA-3 (not the Northeast, but who cares)

David Young (R) 46%, Staci Appel (D) 42%, Ed Wright (L) 5%.

Last poll had the rat ahead

NJ-05 isn’t as safely Republican as it was prior to 2012 redistricting, but it’s still a comfortably GOP seat. Garrett is to the right of the district, and Cho is spending some money, but Garrett will win by 8%-12%.

That Remington poll in IA-03 is an R poll, and I fear that Appel is ahead.

In NH, right now I’d predict that Guinta will win by 4% or so and Brown will beat Shaheen by 2%, but Havenstein and the lovely Marilinda Garcia will fall just short. I hope that I’m wrong about Haverstein and Garcia (especially the latter, who could become a superstar in the House and a future Senator or more).

Good poll out of Maine. Looks like LePage might draw that inside straight once again and win with 40% or less, and Poliquin is poised to become the most conservative member of Congress from ME (either house) in at least a half century.

Meanwhile in NJ-2

Frank LoBiondo (R) 56%, Rat Scion Bill Hughes (D) 35%.

Looks like Frank will probably end up with better than 60%. Billy Hughes is already doing 5% worse than the desultory Democrat woman who ran in 2012 (and spent apparently all of just over 300 bucks(!)). Actually, his 58% in 2012 under the new lines was his worst performance since he lost challenging Bill Hughes, Sr. in 1992, when he got all of 41%. He usually does in the 60%s (except for 2008 when he got 59%), with a high water-mark of 69% in 2002.

Well, that certainly should disabuse anyone of the notion that LoBiondo might be in trouble based on that one poll from a couple of weeks ago.

Looks like the only possible RAT pickup in the Norteast is NY-11 (Grimm’s seat), which could go down to the wire.
