Voters in New Hampshire elected one member to the U.S. Senate in the election on November 4, 2014.

New Hampshire's 2014 U.S. Senate election was a competitive race between Democratic incumbent Jeanne Shaheen and Republican nominee Scott Brown. Shaheen narrowly defeated Brown by about 3 percent of the vote.

Shaheen was consistently ahead in most of the general election polls, and as of the April Quarterly Federal Election Commission (FEC) report, Shaheen had $4,351,281.14 in cash on hand compared to Brown's $274,728.63. The Cook Political Report also rated this seat as leaning Democratic, predicting an advantage for Shaheen.[3]

On September 9, 2014, Shaheen ran unopposed in the Democratic primary, while Brown defeated nine other candidates to win the Republican nomination. Experts including Dante Scala, a political scientist from the University of New Hampshire, correctly predicted that Brown would win by a wide margin of victory.[4]

Brown disappointed many conservative voters in 2012 when he said that he supported an assault weapons ban.[5][6] Nonetheless, he retained the favor of moderate Republican voters and began emphasizing more conservative issues during the 2014 campaign season. For instance, he reversed his position on gun-free zones and emphasized securing the border.[6] Although New Hampshire is far from the border, Seth McLaughlin, a journalist for the Washington Times, claimed that Brown was "looking to bolster his conservative credentials among Republicans still wary of him, and who call him a 'Republican in Name Only,' or RINO."[7]

Primary: A primary election is an election in which registered voters select a candidate that they believe should be a political party's candidate for elected office to run in the general election. They are also used to choose convention delegates and party leaders. Primaries are state-level and local-level elections that take place prior to a general election. New Hampshire uses a semi-closed primary system. Unaffiliated voters may vote in the primary, but in order to do so, they have to choose a party before voting. This changes their status from unaffiliated to affiliated with that party unless they fill out a card to return to undeclared status.[8][9][10]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Voter registration: To vote in the primary, voters could register by either August 30, 2014, if registering with a town clerk, or on election day. For the general election, the voter registration deadline was October 25, 2014 (10 days before election).[11]

Race background

On March 14, 2014, Brown announced in a speech at a major GOP conference in New Hampshire the launch of his exploratory committee, which allowed him to hire staff and raise money for a Senate run.[24]

People's pledge

In a letter sent March 15, 2014, incumbent Jeanne Shaheen (D) said she "very much admired the People's Pledge" that Scott Brown signed with Sen. Elizabeth Warren in 2012, and called on him to sign the same pact in New Hampshire.[25]

"I believe it limited the influence of outside groups and allowed the people's voices to be heard," Shaheen wrote.[25]

Brown did not comment on the likelihood of signing a similar pledge.[25]

"It's hard to view Jeanne Shaheen's actions as anything other than hypocritical and self-serving. The people of New Hampshire can see through the Washington-style game she is playing," Brown responded.[25]

Super PAC coordination

Election laws strictly regulated direct communication between campaigns and third-party groups, so when Republicans allegedly found "a sample script and ready-for-television images" posted online by Shaheen's campaign, they viewed it as a signal to third-party groups that they should put up an ad using certain language and images. Republicans brought the complaint to the Federal Election Commission (FEC), asking them to investigate all communication between Shaheen's campaign and both the Senate Majority PAC and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC).[26]

Campaign spending

Some experts predicted that the 2014 New Hampshire Senate race would break records in campaign spending for a state of New Hampshire's size. Campaign finance expert Dante Scala stated, “It wouldn’t shock me if it topped $50 million.”[27] Given the campaign history of both Scott Brown and Jeanne Shaheen, this prediction was consistent with spending in their past elections. Shaheen's 2008 Senate race was the eighth most expensive race in 2008.[28] Brown's 2012 Senate race in Massachusetts was the most expensive Senate race in history, with $82 million spent.[29]

Mayday Super PAC

"Mayday," a Super PAC aiming "to help elect lawmakers of both parties who support proposals to diminish the influence of big donors," spent $600,000 in campaign advertisements for New Hampshire's 2014 U.S. Senate race.[30][31] However, rather than supporting either party's front-runner, Mayday supported Republican candidate and former state Senator Jim Rubens in his primary against Scott Brown. Rubens lost to Brown by 26.9 percent of the vote.[32] In response to criticism for trying to fight big money's influence in politics by spending large amounts of money, co-founder Lawrence Lessig simply stated, "Embrace the irony."[30]

Ending Spending Action Fund ad pulled from WHDH

Ending Spending ad against Shaheen

In August 2014, Ending Spending Action Fund released an ad opposing Jeanne Shaheen entitled, "Cronyism." The ad claimed that, while the average New Hampshire citizen had struggled financially, "Shaheen's wealth has surged while in public office."[33] Shaheen's lawyers argued that the ad was inaccurate and demanded that the television broadcasting stations take it off the air. They stated that, in fact, Shaheen's net worth had decreased between $562,000 and $1 million while she had been in office. Ending Spending defended the ad by arguing that only Shaheen's assets should have been included, and that debts, including 10 mortgages that she declared in 2013, should not have been taken into account. One Boston television station, WHDH, an affiliate of NBC, stopped broadcasting the ad until it was re-cut. The president of Ending Spending stated, "That station has requested an additional citation be added to the on-screen text, which we will gladly do."[34]

Below is a table of Shaheen's estimated net worth, according to data from OpenSecrets.org:[35]

Jeanne Shaheen Yearly Net Worth
YearAverage Net Worth
2007$4,211,482
2012$5,411,056
Growth from 2007 to 2012:28%
Average annual growth:6%[36]
Comparatively, the American citizen experienced a median yearly decline in net worth of -0.94%.[37]

The data used to calculate changes in net worth may include changes resulting from assets gained through marriage, inheritance, changes in family estates and/or trusts, changes in family business ownership, and many other variables unrelated to a member's behavior in Congress.

Accusations of carpetbagging

Having moved to New Hampshire from Massachusetts less than three months before announcing his candidacy, Scott Brown was often accused of being a "carpetbagger."[38] In a news release on June 11, 2014, Brown referred to President Barack Obama being "in town" when he was actually in Worcester, Massachusetts. Some took this comment to imply that Brown still did not view New Hampshire as his primary home, although Brown's spokeswoman insisted that he was referring to New England as a whole.[39]

Brown later received more negative media attention for a similar comment that he made in a July interview for Boston Herald radio. During a discussion on the border crisis, Brown was accused of stating, "And that’s a big difference between Senator Shaheen and me and many other people in the Massachusetts delegation."[40] Later reports said that Brown had actually said "your Massachusetts delegation," rather than "the Massachusetts delegation," because he was talking with an interviewer from Boston.[41]

Media

Scott Brown

  • On January 7, 2014, the Senate Majority PAC, a Democratic Super PAC, launched an ad claiming that Scott Brown was a friend of Wall Street and that "he's shopping for a Senate seat in New Hampshire." The group spent $160,000 to air the ad over a 10 day span. New Hampshire Republican State Committee Chair Jennifer Horn argued that the ad demonstrated that incumbent Rep. Jeanne Shaheen was "nervous" about her 2014 re-election bid.[47]
  • Brown released his first campaign ad in April 2014.[48]
  • Brown released another campaign ad in May 2014.[49]
  • The Senate Majority PAC released an ad in May 2014 criticizing Brown for lobbying against an energy efficiency bill and for running immediately after moving to the district.[50]

Jeanne Shaheen

  • Ending Spending, Inc., a nonprofit group associated with the Ending Spending Action Fund, released a campaign ad in December 2013 criticizing incumbent Jeanne Shaheen for supporting the Affordable Care Act, or "Obamacare." The ad labeled Shaheen a liar for claiming that Obamacare would allow citizens to keep their insurance provider and increase choices.[52]
  • Shaheen released her first campaign ad on May 4, 2014.[53]
  • Shaheen released another campaign ad in May 2014, this time focusing on helping small businesses.[54]
  • Americans for Prosperity released an ad criticizing Shaheen for supporting Obamacare, linking the healthcare law to a decrease in hospitals.[55]
