Kay Hagan (NC-Sen)
Kay Hagan, a Campaign Newswire regular, is running against Republican incumbent Elizabeth Dole and was named one of the "top ten most effective state senators" by the North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research (NCCPPR). The five-term North Carolina state senator continues to pick up high-profile endorsements.
Kay Hagan has been the beneficiary in the past week of returns from a successful fundraiser in Charlotte, and a push by General Wesley Clark, joined by John Kerry, Kathleen Sebelius, Barbara Boxer, and Hillary Clinton, to support three women candidates for office (http://www.actblue.com/page/

Rick Noriega (TX-Sen)
Noriega is certainly no newcomer to ActBlue success, and has appeared on every Top 10 List since ActBlue launched the Campaign Newswire in June 2008. After Noriega's Army tour in Afghanistan, the two-term Texas state representative and Lieutenant Colonel was appointed Incident Commander of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts in Houston, Texas. He's now running against Republican incumbent John Cornyn for the Texas Senate seat.
The Noriega campaign, again an Orange to Blue favorite at Daily Kos, also won the Blue America contest for the candidate with the greatest number of donors. As the winner of the contest, Noriega received $5000 from Blue America PAC.

Scott Kleeb (NE-Sen)
Kleeb is a fourth generation Nebraskan, who lived in military bases overseas as a child and has worked in the Sandhills of Nebraska and as a ranch hand in eastern Colorado. While working on the dissertation for his Ph.D. from Yale, Kleeb traveled all over the Western United States and saw firsthand the difficulties that farmers, ranchers and small business owners were facing as part of a shrinking middle class. Kleeb now works to promote locally-grown food and responsible business practices as Director of Operations for Morgan Ranch, a Nebraska-based beef company.
Kleeb continues to raise a considerable amount from the Orange to Blue page, and through innovative ads like his "I Am the Fifty State Strategy" video, online at http://actblue.com/page/

Eric Massa (NY-29)
Naval veteran Eric Massa is a candidate for Congress in New York's 29th District. He is challenging Republican incumbent Randy Kuhl for the second time. Massa is a vocal supporter of the "Responsible Plan for Iraq." This is Massa's second cycle with ActBlue.
In addition to an outpouring of support from the Daily Kos community (Massa is an Orange to Blue candidate), the Massa campaign has been the beneficiary this week of contributions for a fundraiser with Senator Clinton, and of contributions responding to an ask emphasizing one of the campaign's consistent themes, leaving a sustainable future to the next generation. The ask reads, "It is my responsibility to pass on to my children a nation as solid and as improved as the country I inherited from my parents. When I look at my kids, Justin and Alexandra, I see the burden of the mistakes being made today weighing on their futures. The security of our economic future is not clear and becomes more in question every day. Jobs are being shipped overseas, access to health care is more difficult and more expensive. The deficit fueled by tax cuts and unrelenting government spending has created a true toddler tax of over $27,000 dollars for every new child born in this nation. We are failing to secure the future for our children. This is what brings me here today, and I want to turn that around."
