August recess did not stop the Republican Senate Majority from working hard for America!
Into the States!
Alabama
Democrat Doug Jones is still struggling to find favor with the people of Alabama, that’s probably why he spent some time in August fundraising in California because no one from his own state wants to give him money.
This August the NRSC reminded Alabama that @DougJones votes more with @chuckschumer than Alabamians
☑️He voted Against Kavanaugh and promises to do "everything he can" to stop Trump Judges
☑️Promised to support whoever Democrats nominate for President#ALsen #ALpolitics pic.twitter.com/Om2kWmRwxr— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) August 21, 2019
We also put up new billboards in Alabama reminding voters that Jones will do anything to stop President Trump’s judges and pledges to support whatever crazy Dem presidential candidate wins the nomination.
Alaska
Senator Dan Sullivan is working hard for the people of Alaska and went on Fox News to discuss how he’s working to better and simplify the National Suicide Hotline making it more easily accessible and readily available to those who need it.
Thanks to the leadership of our Senate Republican majority and members like @DanSullivan_AK, the FCC is in the process of simplifying the National Suicide Hotline.https://t.co/RdbEzxZh6k

Arizona
Martha McSally never stops fighting for Arizona. She is leading the fight against homegrown domestic terror, working to empower law enforcement to hold terrorist to the fullest extent of the law. Martha also went on Fox News to discuss the issue of domestic terror and how she’s working to close loop holes within the system.
In the wake of terrible shootings in Dayton and El Paso, @MarthaMcSally is leading the charge to treat domestic terror, racially motivated violence, and homegrown extremism the same way we treat international terrorism.
Find out more in her interview on @FoxNews this morning ⬇️ pic.twitter.com/LqgAGbNcDO

McSally also did an interview with her dog, Boomer, to discuss how she is working hard in her fight on gun violence and prescription drugs costs and safety.
Come for a great trick from @MarthaMcSally’s rescue Boomer 🐾
Stay for an important discussion on stopping gun violence, prescription drug costs and safety, and her busy recess serving constituents around the state! #AZsen #AZpolitics #ClearTheShelters pic.twitter.com/CdF6rAFMA1

McSally knows the pain and problems with sexual assault in the military so she has introduced the Combating Military Sexual Assault Act that works to improve prevention, training, victim support, investigation and prosecution.
While McSally is working hard for Arizona, Dem challenger Mark Kelly is busy being a hypocrite and not telling people who he really is. We put up a new billboard in Arizona to remind people that Kelly has something to hide and created a website, realmarkkelly.com, hitting on his lack of transparency and corporate money hypocrisy.
Not sure who @ShuttleCDRKelly really is? The answer is just a click away >> https://t.co/umRXhugoN8 #AZSen #azpolitics pic.twitter.com/uOdqq4rxeg

Colorado
It has been quite an eventful month in Colorado. Cory Gardner has been traveling around the state to meet with constituents and was joined on the campaign trail by Ambassador Nikki Haley.
This week @CoryGardner welcomed former SC Governor and UN Ambassador @NikkiHaley to Colorado to talk about the state's bright future and her support for Cory. #COsen #COpolitics pic.twitter.com/x67xaOZ5QP
— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) August 21, 2019
Cory was also named one of the top five most bipartisan senators which he again proved to be true when meeting with potential challengers in Colorado. Cory continues to show that he puts the people of Colorado first, no matter their politics.
As Colorado Democrats attack each other over @Hickenlooper and their race to the left, @CoryGardner's message that Colorado's best days are still ahead stands out. #COsen #COpolitics pic.twitter.com/n8gpBzLQdQ
— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) August 19, 2019
While there were already quite a few Dems running against Cory in Colorado, former Governor of Colorado John Hickenlooper decided to drop out of the presidential race and come crawling back to Colorado hoping for a royal welcome that he did not get.
During his embarrassing walkabout through Iowa, @Hickenlooper repeatedly made the case that he was “not cut out” for the US Senate.
It seems to be one of the few things he got right as a Presidential candidate.
Colorado shouldn't be anyone's back-up plan.#COsen #COpolitics pic.twitter.com/NPu07KvEw9
— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) August 22, 2019
We released new videos hitting Hickenlooper for treating Senate as a consolation prize after his failed presidential campaign.
NEW VIDEO: When @Hickenlooper announced he was accepting defeat in the Presidential race he expected a coronation for the Colorado Senate primary.
His fellow Democrats have made it clear they’re not going down without a fight. #COSen #COpolitics pic.twitter.com/VZKrFXsGVb

Multiple times during his campaign for president, Hickenlooper said he is “not cut out to be a senator” yet here he is running for U.S. Senate – a job he said he didn’t want and said he wouldn’t be good at – because his presidential campaign failed. Hickenlooper’s entry into the race has created a feud among Colorado Democrats.
.@Hickenlooper’s own words:
💬“I’m not cut out to be a senator.”
💬“It’s awful hard to imagine that I could be successful in a Senate campaign or as a senator.”
💬“If the Senate’s so good, how come all those senators are trying to get out?”#COSen https://t.co/ehP121IW8o— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) August 30, 2019
Colorado Republicans and Democrats are telling Hickenlooper that running for U.S. Senate should never be a back up plan. Not long after Hickenlooper’s announcement, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee endorsed him dividing the party and ruffling feathersdividing the party and ruffling feathers OF the other Dem candidates, including seven women. Six of the female Dem candidates in Colorado wrote to the DSCC to tell them they’re not going to “wait their turn” and urging them to rescind their endorsement of Hickenlooper.
The Colorado Democratic Party is in for a rough ride.
Georgia
Senator Johnny Isakson announced he will retire from the U.S. Senate at the end of 2019 – his leadership will be missed and his absence felt. Thank you, Senator, for your dedication to Georgia and the American people!
We are saddened by the news that Senator Isakson will be stepping down at the end of 2019. He has been a strong, conservative leader for the people of Georgia and his leadership will surely be missed. Thank you, Senator Isakson! pic.twitter.com/FZX7FfapcT

Senator David Perdue encouraged Georgia Republicans keep up the fight against socialism and the dangers it poses to our way of life.
We put up a new billboard in Georgia to remind voters that Democrat candidate Teresa Tomlinson is too liberal for Georgia.
Our new billboard in Georgia hits @teresatomlinson for supporting policies that would only please radical socialist Democrats. Georgia deserves better! #GASen #gapol pic.twitter.com/DBg5uFxask

Iowa
Senator Joni Ernst continues to work hard for Iowans! Joni spent the month traveling across Iowa meeting with constituents. On one of her stops, she continued to work with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in their efforts to repair the levees that were damaged during the floods in 2019. Joni is now cosponsoring a bill that calls for the corps to focus on flood control.
We put up a new billboard in Iowa hitting Dem Senate candidate Kimberly Graham for her support radical socialist policies proposed by AOC and the “squad.”
NEW billboard in Iowa! @KimberlyforIowa encourages the Democrats' lurch to the left with her support of socialized medicine and the #GreenNewDeal. Her policies prove she is out of touch with voters. Iowans deserve better! #IAsen #iapolitics pic.twitter.com/GB7Zo7vqA4

Kentucky
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell had his campaign account suspended after posting a video of people outside his home in Louisville protesting and yelling death threats.
Disaster candidate Amy McGrath, still has no idea what she’s doing or what her policies are. Maybe she can figure it out by next November, but she’s quickly losing momentum with Kentucky Democrats.

Maine
Yikes, what a month for Democrats in Maine… Chuck Schumer’s pick, Sara Gideon, has really dug herself into a hole that will be hard to climb out of. Just this month, Shady Sara has admitted to federal campaign violations by reimbursing herself with an LPAC. She is now facing ethics complaints in Maine. This is in addition to dark money group ties to Gideon running false ads against Susan Collins, and an ad that the Washington Post gave THREE PINOCCHIOS.
The Maine Democrat hopeful @SaraGideon is now the face of hypocrisy on the front pages of local Maine newspapers. She has a lot of explaining to do now that Mainers see her as just another corrupt politician. #MESen pic.twitter.com/mTFazAi1QG
— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) August 2, 2019
In another blunder, Shady Sara posted a video while in Freeport, Maine wearing a Patagonia jacket. Freeport is home to Patagonia competitor and top five employer in Maine, L.L. Bean. Gideon deleted the video, erased the logo, then reposted the video. Too bad everyone saw it before it was deleted… Shady Sara’s shenanigans continue.
Freeport, Maine is home to @SaraGideonME and L.L. Bean, one of Maine's top employers. Gideon posted a video wearing a Patagonia jacket, deleted it, erased the logo, then posted again.
She's even being shady about her wardrobe now… #MESen #MEpoliticshttps://t.co/0SYXjkkkds

We put up a new mobile billboard in Maine hitting Dem candidate Betsy Sweet for her support of AOC and the “squad” with their socialist policies.
Our new mobile billboard is out in Maine! @BetsySweetME is proud to stand with radical socialists like @AOC and @BernieSanders supporting Medicare for All and the Green New Deal. Mainers deserve better. #MESen pic.twitter.com/kaV8e1LaTy

Meanwhile, Susan Collins has been working hard for Mainers! Senator Collins knows how important teachers and principals are in schools and is part of the bipartisan effort introducing the PREP Act – legislation that increases teacher and leader training programs to ensure full potential is met.
.@SenatorCollins visited a senior living home in Farmington to meet with residents and staff to learn about the great work they do for the elderly. Thank you for your dedication to Maine, Sen. Collins! #MESenhttps://t.co/d9OLwLGFGU

Susan Collins takes her role as chair for the Senate Committee on Aging seriously and spent some time in August meeting with residents and staff at senior living facility in Farmington, Maine.
Collins was instrumental in solidifying the contract between Navatek and the University of Maine for additional funding and employing graduates from the University. Susan announced that the National Science Foundation awarded $6 million to University of Maine to establish monitoring systems to track Maine’s forest ecosystem.
Michigan
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry… Senator Peters still remains the least known senator in the U.S. Senate and has been described as “about as exciting as a bowl of cold oatmeal.”
Billboards that we placed in Michigan hitting Jerry for his support of the Green New Deal and taking people steaks drew attention this month.
.@SenJerryPeters has been hiding from questions about the #GreenNewDeal and other socialist policies that the radical democrats are pushing. #MISen pic.twitter.com/r4cVOFjM3T
— Senate Republicans (@NRSC) August 5, 2019
Jerry also got fundraising help from socialist Elizabeth Warren. Warren, who is committed to eliminating employer-based health insurance and remaking the American economy with the Green New Deal, lended Peters her support because she knows that the radicals in Washington can count on him.
Minnesota
We released a radio ad reminding people that Dem Senator Tina Smith is a corrupt politician who will work to get tax cuts for her family but not the American people.
.@TinaSmithMN has been raising YOUR family’s taxes while her family uses tax havens … Talk about corruption! #MNSen pic.twitter.com/SVbpty21Zx

New Hampshire
We put up a new billboard in New Hampshire to remind voters that Senator Jeanne Shaheen has been in politics since the 1970s, and it’s time for someone new.

North Carolina
Thom Tillis helped pass legislation to give relief to family farmers in North Carolina and across the country.
We also put up a new billboard in North Carolina making sure voters know that Dem candidate Erica Smith fully supports the radical socialist agenda being pushed on the American people by AOC and her “squad.”
NEW billboard is up in North Carolina! @EricaforUSSen20 supports the radical socialist agenda of @AOC and her #squad. She favors policies that would cut jobs and private health care.

Texas
Senator John Cornyn spent time back home in Texas this month traveling around the state to make sure he’s serving Texans to the best of his ability. Cornyn is leading the fight against the Green New Deal citing the threats it has to local Texas business and middle-class families.

Sen. Cornyn also met with victims of sexual assault to hear their stories and address the issue of out-of-date rape kits and rape kit backlog. He recently passed legislation on the Debbie Smith Act as part of the bipartisan effort to reduce backlog and get kits tested sooner.
