Alaska
Senate Race Lisa Murkowski (incumbent)
A KTUU poll; surveyed 500 likely voters;
has Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R) trailing ex-Gov.
Tony Knowles (D) 48-45%. This race is one of
the most important for our RMSP candidates
and Sen. Murkowski needs all the help she
can get. With control of the Senate at stake
this race is crucial.
Washington Senate race George Nethercutt
(challenger)
A SurveyUSA automated poll of 636 likely
Washington State voters shows Sen. Patty
Murray (D) leading challenger Rep. George
Nethercutt (R) 57%- 38% with 5% undecided or
backing someone else. This seat could likely
determine which party controls the Senate,
so please try to do all you can to support
one of our top candidates for U.S. Senate
New York House Seat (NY-27) Nancy Naples
(open seat)
Assemblyman Brian Higgins (D) has a
5-point lead in the latest poll over Erie
County Comptroller Nancy Naples (R).
Recently, all three television stations in
Buffalo made the decision to remove a false
ad from the airwaves by Naples opponent
because it was blatantly false. This is an
important seat to keeping Republican control
of the House and Nancy Naples will be a
strong RMSP member, so please try to provide
whatever support you can.
Pennsylvania House Seat (PA-13) Melissa
Brown (open seat)
In a recent Keystone poll, Democrat
Allyson Schwartz led Republican Melissa
Brown by 11 points, 45 percent to 34
percent. This is an open seat where we have
an excellent chance to both pick up a
Democratic seat, and gain another moderate
Republican to make up for the loss of Rep.
Jim Greenwood. Please consider doing all you
can to help Melissa Brown as we head into
the final stages of this campaign cycle.
Connecticut House Seat (CT-02) Rob Simmons
(incumbent)
A Univ. of CT poll; found Rep. Rob
Simmons (R) leads ex-Norwich City
Councilmember Jim Sullivan (D) by 38-34%.
The margin of error is 4% so Simmons still
needs help to keep this highly Democratic
seat in Republican hands. Please do all you
can for Rob.
New York House Seat (NY-29) Randy Kuhl
(open seat)
The numbers favor State Sen. Randy Kuhl
(R): Republicans have a 45 percent to 29
percent edge in voter enrollment. But
Democrat Samara Barend is running a smart
and aggressive campaign, and the district is
fairly distressed economically, which helps
the Democrat. Kuhl, "has been endorsed by"
the NY and Nat'l AFL-CIO (10/5), but we
definitely need to make sure we keep this
important Republican seat in New York. So
please give what you can.
Pennsylvania House Seat (PA-15) Charlie
Dent (open seat)
An Allentown Morning Call/Muhlenberg
College poll; found that state Sen. Charlie
Dent (R) leads real estate investment
advisor Joe Driscoll (D) by 53-20%. The
Philadelphia Inquirer endorsing Dent today:
There are two problems, with Democratic
nominee Joe Driscoll. First, he moved to the
Lehigh Valley from Lower Merion only a few
months ago well after he won the
Democratic primary in April. Second,
Driscoll, 40, has no record of public
service outside of his successful work in
developing abandoned industrial sites. In
contrast, his Republican foe, State Sen.
Charles W. Dent, has spent nearly all of his
44 years in the Lehigh Valley, and has
served nearly 14 years in the General
Assembly eight in the House and six in the
Senate. His record as a moderate Republican
who supports abortion rights sits well with
a majority-Democratic district.
Dents
record of public service demonstrates not
only deep concern for constituents but also
that he is best qualified for the office.
RMSP has supported Dent and he is in good
shape for Nov. 2nd.
