U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX), Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, today made the following statement regarding Congressman Todd Akin: “Congressman Akin’s statements were wrong, offensive, and indefensible. I recognize that this is a difficult time for him, but over the next twenty-four hours, Congressman Akin should carefully consider what is best for him, his family, the Republican Party, and the values that he cares about and has fought for throughout his career in public service.”
NRSC Chairman John Cornyn Congratulates Tommy Thompson On Winning Wisconsin’s GOP Primary
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn made the following statement this evening regarding the Wisconsin Senate race and the nomination of former Governor Tommy Thompson as our Republican candidate: “I congratulate Tommy Thompson on winning the Wisconsin Senate Republican Primary. Governor Thompson’s election ensures that the people of Wisconsin will have a clear choice this November between continuing the status quo of reckless spending, record debt, and higher taxes by electing Tammy Baldwin, or reversing course and finally focusing on pro-jobs, pro-growth policies. “While Tommy has been a longtime fighter for fixing our nation’s economy and protecting Medicare, Congresswoman Baldwin finds herself to the far left of even President Obama on some of the most important issues facing Americans – a complete government takeover of our health care system, record tax hikes on families and businesses, and more debt that future generations will never be able to repay. “Once…
NRSC Chairman John Cornyn Congratulates Connie Mack On Winning Florida’s GOP Primary
National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn made the following statement this evening regarding the Florida Senate race and the nomination of Connie Mack as our Republican candidate: “I congratulate Connie Mack on winning the Florida Republican Senate Primary. The difference in this race is abundantly clear. Connie Mack will work with Governor Romney to protect and strengthen Medicare, enact pro-growth policies that will create jobs and finally balance our budget. “Meanwhile, his opponent has worked with President Obama to raid $700 billion from Medicare for their healthcare law, supported his failed stimulus and enacted job-killing policies that have hurt Floridians. It’s time we get the Sunshine State working again and we can do that with Connie Mack as the next U.S. Senator from Florida.” BACKGROUND…. Bill Nelson is a career politician who has been in office since Jimmy Carter was President. Since Nelson first came to Washington our…
NRSC Memo: What We Already Know About The Wisconsin Senate Race
To: Interested Parties From: Rob Jesmer, Executive Director National Republican Senatorial Committee Re: Extreme Liberal Tammy Baldwin Date: August 14, 2012 As we look ahead to tonight’s results in the Wisconsin primary battle and the general election over the next three months, a story today from ABC affiliate WXOW in La Crosse, Wisconsin perfectly encapsulates the biggest obstacle facing Democrats as they work to hold this important Senate seat – Congresswoman Tammy Baldwin’s extreme liberal ideology and record in Congress.

Heim says that’s not surprising, considering she represents a district including the City of Madison. ”To be a Madison Democrat in Congress, you have to be fairly liberal,” Heim says. “It’s the most liberal city in Wisconsin….
Richard Carmona Misleads Arizonans By Claiming That He Wasn’t Recruited By President Obama
It’s Been Widely Reported That President Obama Recruited Richard Carmona After being the only Democrat in the entire country to be personally recruited by President Barack Obama, this past weekend Democrat Richard Carmona went out of his way to try to rewrite history and told 3TV in Phoenix that the campaigner-in-chief did not recruit him. The reality is that it’s widely known that President Obama personally called Carmona and successfully persuaded him to run for office. Additionally, Mr. Obama said that Carmona – who supports ObamaCare, which cut $700 billion from Medicare – would shake up the race in the Grand Canyon State. Carmona even admitted these facts as recently as two months ago. As 3TV Phoenix reports: CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO Notably, this isn’t the first time Carmona has tried to mislead Arizonans, as last month he bizarrely denied that President Obama even called him during the recruiting process. “It is strange that Richard Carmona denies being called…
FLASHBACK: Sherrod Brown Is So Extreme He Opposed His Own Party’s Welfare-To-Work Law
Sherrod Brown Opposed President Bill Clinton’s Bipartisan Overhaul Of Welfare As reports continue to surface that President Obama’s Administration has gutted a key provision of the Welfare Reform Act that would require welfare recipients to work, Ohioans are reminded that in 1996, Sherrod Brown opposed his party and President Bill Clinton’s attempt to overhaul welfare. While President Obama defends his Administration, it’s worth noting that Sherrod Brown was one of the few Congressional Members to vote against this bipartisan bill that fixed the welfare program. “As Americans continue to discuss the Obama Administration’s unilateral decision to change welfare, it’s worth noting that Sherrod Brown is far to the left of his party on this issue because he voted against President Clinton’s welfare-to-work law in 1996,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee spokesman Jahan Wilcox. “Ohioans deserve a Senator who will fight to restore common-sense solutions to the issues they face every day, not someone like…
Former DNC Chairman Tim Kaine Brings His Job-Killing Record To The Peninsula Chamber Of Commerce
Kaine Supports Raising Taxes On Small Business Owners And The Job-Killing Healthcare Law After announcing that he would raise taxes on small business owners in the Commonwealth, today former Democrat National Committee (DNC) Chairman Tim Kaine will visit the Peninsula Chamber of Commerce where he’ll double-down on President Barack Obama’s tax-and-spend agenda. Chairman Kaine vigorously fought for Barack Obama’s job-killing healthcare law, which raised taxes on small business owners in Henrico, Glen Allen and across the Commonwealth of Virginia. Notably, the Wall Street Journal reported that Kaine and Obama’s healthcare law amounts to the largest tax increase ever on the middle-class. “It is now undeniable that Mr. Obama has imposed the largest tax increase in history on the middle class. Individuals who don’t buy insurance will have to pay several hundred dollars, depending on income. The Congressional Budget Office says that 76% of those who pay the mandate tax will make less than 500% of the federal poverty level,…

This was a hard fought contest but now we look forward to helping elect Todd as the next United States Senator from Missouri. “Todd’s belief that we need to lower taxes, reduce wasteful government spending while repealing and replacing ObamaCare is exactly in line with the hardworking men and women of Missouri and I look forward to working alongside him in the Senate to do just that.” BACKGROUND…. After tonight’s GOP Primary, the story in Missouri will be one of a longtime, liberal politician who made a vast amount of promises to Show Me Staters and failed to live up to nearly every single one of those promises…an individual…

When she first ran for the U.S. Senate, Debbie Stabenow claimed to be a fiscal conservative who decried the rise in the national debt and claimed to support a balanced budget amendment. Stabenow pledged to reach across party lines and remain laser-focused on growing the…
NRSC: Floridians Deserve Better Than Bill Nelson’s Slimy & Hypocritical Attack Ads
Gutter-Style Campaign Highlights Inability Of 40-Year Politician To Run On His Own Record in Washington National Republican Senatorial Committee Executive Director Rob Jesmer today made the following statement regarding the latest desperate attack ad by Florida’s embattled senior Senator Bill Nelson: “It is disappointing that 40-year politician Bill Nelson would use an event that took place in his opponent’s personal life 20 years ago to distract from his own abysmal record. Such an attack is particularly surprising, considering that Nelson’s own son was recently arrested for both disorderly intoxication and assaulting a police officer. Senator Nelson, perhaps more than most people, should recognize that his attempt to leverage a person’s youthful mistakes for his own political advantage is shameful. “Floridians deserve better than the type of gutter-style politics that Senator Nelson is engaging in. Senator Nelson should explain to Floridians why under his watch we’ve now had 42 straight months of unemployment above 8 percent, a federal…
