The latest FEC reports show an overwhelming trend: Democratic women are winning the fundraising race thanks to growing support for their campaigns.

 Alison Lundergan Grimes raised $4.4 million, bested Mitch McConnell by $1.7 million and “shattered the fundraising record for the state of Kentucky.” In Georgia Michelle Nunn pulled in $4.15 million in the third quarter, putting her in a strong position to take on David Perdue and his proud record of outsourcing. And in North Carolina Kay Hagan hauled in $4.9 million in third quarter.

 And in House races, candidates Annie Kuster in New Hampshire and Aimee Belgard in New Jersey both brought in over half a million dollars in the last quarter alone.

 It’s clear Democratic women candidates have the momentum heading into the final stretch.

The only type of pro-environment policies Republicans are interested in is recycling their own candidates. Here are just 5 of the re-run GOP candidates that we’d like to see in the compost pile in November.

Scott Brown, MA-SEN

Scott lost to Elizabeth Warren in the Massachusetts Senate race in 2012 - and now he’s back to run for Senate against Jeanne Shaheen…in New Hampshire.

Frank Guinta, NH-01

Frank lost to Carol Shea-Porter in 2012. Aaaaaand he’s looking to do it again this year.

Steve Lonegan, NJ-03

Steve ran for Senate in 2013 and was definitely not the winner of that race. So now he has set his sights on the House seat in New Jersey’s 3rd district. Good thing we have Aimee Belgard.

Bobby Schilling, IL-17

Bobby ran against Cheri Bustos in 2012 and lost. And he’s looking to repeat again this year.

Wendy Rogers, AZ-09

Wendy didn’t even make it out of the Republican primary when she ran for Congress in Arizona’s 9th district in 2012. But she’s back anyway. We’ll place our bets on Kyrsten Sinema.
