map and keep Congress Blue. We help Democrats challenging Republican incumbents
and vulnerable freshman Democrats hold their seats in Congress.

Our
Most Recent Winning Candidates:
Senator
Mark Begich
Anchorage Mayor Begich defeated long term Senator Stevens
in a clean victory to lead Alaska on a new and honorable
path.
Senator
Jeanne Shaheen
Jeanne defeated the conservative Senator John Sununu
to lead New Hampshire in a new and independent direction.
Congressman
Frank Kratovil
Frank defeated incumbent Andy Harris for Maryland's
1st District. Frank has pledged to protect the Bay and
will bring a independent voice to Congress.
Congressman
Jerry McNerney
Jerry holds his seat for the benefit of his California
voters. They will be served well by his pro-environmental
stance.

Have a
Beer with Bob Lord and Blue Catapult
Bob Lord is running against the anti-choice,
anti-stem cell research idealogue John Shadegg in Arizona's
3rd Congressional District. He needs our help to try
and make Arizona (McCain's home state) a blue notch
in the House.

Blue Catapult
Supports Jerry McNerney
California's 11th Congressional District
is in the good hands of Jerry
McNerney. As one of the top targets for the NRCC,
Jerry needs to hold his seat so that he can continue
his work in the development of alternative energy.

Jeanne
Shaheen Adopted by Blue Catapult
Looking like revenge will be sweet for Jeanne
Shaheen and the New Hampshire Democrats, Blue Catapult
has made her our first adopted candidate for the 2008
election cycle. Polls show her avenging her very narrow
2002 loss to John Sununu, with a Granite State poll
having her lead Sununu 54%-37%. The former popular Governor
is both effective and intelligent and will be critical
in moving the state of New Hampshire into the Blue column
in November.
