NRSC Statement On Iowa Senate Race
Here is a statement from the Executive Director of the National Republican Senatorial Committee on today’s announcement by U.S. Senator Tom Harkin and the 2014 Iowa Senate race: “Today’s announcement by Senator Harkin immediately vaults Iowa into the top tier of competitive Senate races next year.

NRSC Chairman Statement On Chambliss Retirement
Here is a statement from U.S. Senator Jerry Moran, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee on the announcement by U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss and the 2014 Georgia Senate race: “Throughout his four terms in the House and two terms in the Senate, Saxby has been a hard-working and thoughtful public servant for Georgia and for our country. I thank him for his service and wish he and his family the very best in the next chapter ahead. “What doesn’t change with today’s announcement is the reality that the Democrats have a very uphill battle to try wresting this seat from Republican hands. Georgia is a red state that rejected President Obama and his liberal agenda by almost 10 points last November. While we take no race for granted, I look forward to the debate between a Republican candidate who believes in reining-in wasteful Washington spending, growing jobs and protecting the…
NRSC Holds 2014 Senate Democrats Accountable On “No Budget, No Pay”
Below is an example of an NRSC release/statement that was sent out to state media and grassroots lists in Louisiana following the House vote this afternoon. Similar releases went out to a range of other key 2014 Senate race states as well where Democratic Senators are going to have a very difficult time addressing what is a very simple issue for most voters in their states. U.S. House Sends A Simple Message To Mary Landrieu, Senate Democrats – “No Budget, No Pay” WASHINGTON — For almost four years, Louisiana’s senior Senator Mary Landrieu and her fellow Democrats who run the Senate have refused to address the most basic responsibility of governing by passing a federal budget. Over this same time, the federal debt has skyrocketed past $16 trillion, with an additional $5.3 trillion in new debt and over $13 trillion in new government spending. To that end, the Republican-led House…
NRSC Asks 2014 Senate Democrats Where They Stand On Trillion-Dollar Magic Coin Plan
As you may have seen, it’s being reported this afternoon that all four top Senate Democrat leaders have sent a letter to the White House expressing their support for President Obama to take “unilateral action” on raising the debt ceiling, including even minting a trillion-dollar platinum coin. Given this latest development, the NRSC has issued statements – example below — to state media and grassroots lists in a range of 2014 states, including South Dakota (Johnson), Montana (Baucus), Arkansas (Pryor), New Hampshire (Shaheen), Alaska (Begich), North Carolina (Hagan), Colorado (Udall), Iowa (Harkin), Minnesota (Franken) and Virginia (Warner). We look forward to hearing from each of these Democratic Senators, in addition to the rest of their Democratic colleagues, whether or not they stand with Harry Reid & Chuck Schumer in support of the trillion-dollar platinum coin option that would circumvent Congress and unilaterally raise the debt ceiling. Top Democrat Leaders Open…

WASHINGTON — National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) Executive Director Rob Collins issued the following statement in response to U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller’s announcement that he will not seek reelection in 2014: “Senator Rockefeller’s decision not to seek reelection makes West Virginia an even stronger pickup opportunity for Republicans in 2014. Voters next year will have a clear choice between a Democrat who will be a loyal vote for President Obama and Harry Reid as they try to kill West Virginia’s coal industry and bankrupt our country with reckless government spending, versus a Republican who will serve as an effective check-and-balance on their liberal agenda and work to get our country’s economy back on track.” ###

NRSC Launches Volume 3 Of The Carmona Files: Richard Carmona’s Resume
Includes Bullying Colleagues, Being Fired And Suing His Former Employer Throughout the past year, Richard Carmona has constantly misled voters about his so-called impeccable resume, but today the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) released the third volume of the “Carmona Files,” which reveals that throughout his career Carmona has consistently bullied his colleagues, has been fired from his job and has tried to sue his former employer. While it’s been well documented that Carmona does not work well with others and that he makes insensitive jokes towards women, it’s been forgotten that Carmona has consistently been removed from various jobs. Carmona has been dismissed from the Tucson Medical Center, forced to resign from the Pima County Health System and was never re-nominated to be Surgeon General. And when he leaves, he has sued these healthcare facilities, which diverts millions of dollars that could otherwise be used on patient care. Click Here…
NRSC Chair Statement On Indiana Senate Race
“Richard and I, along with millions of Americans – including even Joe Donnelly – believe that life is a gift from God. To try and construe his words as anything other than a restatement of that belief is irresponsible and ridiculous. In fact, rather than condemning him for his position, as some in his party have when it’s come to Republicans, I commend Congressman Donnelly for his support of life. “But this election is about big ideas and the reality that our country is going in the wrong direction. If you support Obamacare, government bailouts, reckless spending and higher taxes than you should vote for Joe Donnelly. But if you believe, as I do, that our government is too big, our taxes are too high, and we are passing an irresponsible debt onto future generations, than Richard Mourdock is your candidate to help get our country back on track.” U.S. Senator…
