Twelve years ago, I was in the Bayou State watching election returns. When most people visit Louisiana, they go to the French Quarter. But I went instead to Sulphur. It’s an oil and gas town 30 miles from the Texas border. Their motto of “Faith – Family – Community” is featured prominently in their parades. [...]
We’re in overtime in Louisiana! Because no candidate received over 50% of the vote on November 4, the top candidates are facing off on December 6. The two candidates are Democrat Senator Mary Landrieu and Republican Bill Cassidy. The CatholicVote.org Research Team has been hard at work this election season to ensure that Catholic voters [...]
Not all Senate races are over. (No, I’m not just talking about the close vote still going on in Alaska.) I mean, no candidate got over 50% in Louisiana. So that Senate race is going to a December 6th runoff. It’s a contest featuring incumbent Senator Mary Landrieu, a Democrat who voted for Obamacare and [...]
The conventional wisdom says America’s success or failure is all about the president. Bush was a bad one, so the economy tanked … and Clinton was a good one so the economy soared.

The past few weeks I’ve been using the uCampaign app to send invites to Catholic friends around the country encouraging them to support Senate candidates in battleground states. Many of these races are within the polling margin of error and once again, active Catholics could be the deciding factor on election day. Out of dozens [...]

Bishop Conley’s words here ought to serve as a guiding light for all Catholic Americans as we prepare for Election Day on November 4th. On Saturday, November 1st, the Church [...]
This Montana Senate seat has been held by a Democrat for over 100 years. But Steve Daines (R) has a clear advantage over Amanda Curtis (D) this year. Our CatholicVote political research team has been watching the two candidates carefully so we can offer Catholic voters in Montana a recommendation. Because many issues are at [...]
Six seats. One week. November 4th our chance to unseat pro-abortion Harry Reid from his position of control over the Senate. In Arkansas, the race between Tom Cotton (R) and Mark Pryor (D) is still a toss-up. Putting this Senate seat in the hands of a pro-life, pro-family, and pro-freedom Senator is key for the [...]
