Senator Sue Lowden comes to a podium in Carson City, Nevada..

Friends, we have come a long way. After months of campaigning, fundraising, and meeting thousands of Americans, our work has finally paid off. I thank my Savior for bringing me to where I am today. I am proud and humbled that I will be carrying the party banner into the general election. To Speaker Cantor, I want to thank you for running a humble and respectful race. I wish you the best of luck in future endeavors. Thank you all, once again, and God Bless!

Senator Sue Lowden begins a tour of southern states, with stops in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Kentucky. She focuses on her social conservatism, as well as Brown's liberalism.

Friends, as Senator, I'm proud to boast my moderate-conservative record. I believe my record falls closely in line with the average American. However, your other option, Senator Brown, has consistantly been one of the most liberal members of the Senate, taking home the title of most liberal in 2009. Now is not the time for more a larger, socialist government, and that is exactly what Senator Brown will bring. It's time for common-sense conservatism, including tax breaks for the middle class and businesses.

Sue Lowden releases a nationwide ad, which is called "A Fresh Voice."

Sue Lowden: For decades, our nation's White House has been plagued by corrupt, big-government spenders. These folks have spent years, decades in Washington, and play the Washington game, gambling on America's future. Sherrod Brown comes from a similar mold. He's been in politics since 1974, and has been in Washington since 1973. I offer a clear alternative to that. As a young girl raised in New Jersey, I always had the dream of one day being able to serve the country. I've spent a little over 5 years now in the Senate, and have been a voice for the everyday American. I think it'd be hard for one of the most liberal members of our Senate to say the same thing. On election day, vote for a clear, fresh change.
I'm Sue Lowden, and I approve this message.

Senator Sue Lowden and Carly Fiorina has began a tour, with it's title being "What Has Brown Done For You?" They will be making stops in Washington, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona, and California.

Let's play a game. The mission? Guess how many bills Sherrod Brown has sponsered that passed in his 23 years in Washington. 50? No. 76? No. Aim lower, a lot lower. 11. In 23 years, Sherrod Brown has passed 11 bills, a majority of them being minor pieces of legislation. Govtrack.us, a non-partisan site, has labeled Sherrod Brown as a follower. He mainly assumes co-sponsership on legislation. Friends, America does not need a follower in the White House. We need a leader, a strong one, who will be ready to make tough decisions. That leader is Sue Lowden.

Senator Sue Lowden makes a tour of the Rust Belt with Rob Portman and Mitch Daniels. She has planned stops in the following cities...
Rochester, Minnesota
Janesville, Wisconsin
Battle Creek, Michigan
Fort Wayne, Indiana
Newark, Ohio
Altoona, Pennsylvania

I find it quite humorous how Senator Brown keeps talking of how Americans need financial security because he has consistantly voted to up taxes, which gives taxpayers even more to worry about. My friends, under a Lowden administration, we will fight to give the power back to you, not the government. We believe in a low, fair tax for all Americans so that one group of people will not be burndened paying most of our taxes. In order to lower taxes, we're going to cut wasteful spending, eliminate unneeded government programs, and cut earmarks out of our bills. That has worked in the past, and it will work again. It's time for a party of big ideas to lead this nation, not a party of big brother.

I'm a proud supporter of Sue Lowden. While the government has been spending out of control, Sue Lowden has been a voice of reason in the Senate, and has actually represented her constituents, not Washington lobbyists. The fact is, America cannot afford four more years of liberal, tainted leadership, and that's exactly what Senator Brown will bring. I personally do not want four more years of partisan politics taking place in the White House.

Senator Sue Lowden continues her Rust Belt tour in Indiana, where she touts her pro-life stance...

I value the human life, and always have. I am extremely grateful that the National Right to Life has endorsed and helped my campaign. Hopefully, together we can get ourselves in a position where we can make a difference. It's important that America has a leader who values the human life.

Sue Lowden makes campaign stops in Boulder, Colorado and Salina, Kansas. When asked about Brown's recent attacks, Lowden made this response...

Well, it just shows how out of touch Senator Brown with the everyday American when he doesn't know the actual meaning of such a statement. This "scandal" has been beaten to the ground, and proves very little. I will continue to stand by my statemnet. In older days, people would bring chickens to the doctors, and that would be used as their way of paying the doctors. It is a simple fact that can be proven from a little lesson in history. Sherrod Brown should know better than this. After all, he's been in politics over half his life. Friends, America doesn't need another politician in charge of this country. We need a true leader who will stand up for the everday American. I am a concerned mother and legislator who wants to make a difference for my family and others, and I think I can do that as President.

Sue Lowden responds to Senator Brown at a rally in New Mexico, before traveling to Texas where she plans to speak on government spending and outsourcing...

Senator Brown, it was a statement which some took the wrong interpretation of. I'm sorry they took the wrong interpretation, but I'm not sorry that I said that. It's funny that Senator Brown has started throwing statistics  and polling numbers at me, considering he voted for a health care bill that a majority of Ohioans and Americans did not support. This was one of America's most crucial votes, and he completely let his constituents down. We need a leader who will give power to the people, not government.

Sue Lowden makes planned stops in Minnesota, Iowa, and Missouri with her primary focus being on education reform.

Many in Washington feel that the only way to improve education is throw money at it. While I think we should increase funding, there are better and cheaper alternatives we must make, such as cutting wasteful programs in our education systems. No child should be deprived a good education in this country.

America is a great nation, and will always be a great nation. However, it is up to the hard work and entrepreneurship of the American people to keep this nation at the top of the world. In order to insure this, it is vital that we promote economic freedom and diversity instead of continuing to increase taxes, pass earmarks, and raise our national deficit.

The Lowden campaign releases a new television and radio ad featuring Nancy Reagan, wife of former President Ronald Regan. The ad is being put out mainly in California, but also in Nevada, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. The campaign hopes to bring the ad nationwide within a couple weeks, if successful.

Nancy Reagan: Once we had a president who made people feel hopeful about America and brought us together to do great things. Today, Sue Lowden gives us that same chance. She makes us believe in ourselves again -- that when we act as one nation, we can overcome any challenge.

People always tell me how my husband inspired them. I feel that same excitement now. Sue Lowden can lift America and make us one nation again.

Advisor 1: Sue, we need to find one issue out there that we think we can beat Brown on and run with it.
Lowden: Okay, how about the economy?
Advisor 2: We can't do that. Most Americans have already decided one way or another.
Advisor 3: Correct. We need to find an issue considered to be minor that we have a stronger position on, and make it big.
Lowden: Education. I think I already have an edge over Brown on it, as I've been talking about it for months. I can use my status as a former schoolteacher to give me the edge.
Advisor 2: Brilliant idea. Let's add that as the main part in your speech in Orlando. Then we can run with it again up in Virginia and Ohio.

Sue Lowden holds a rally in Orlando, where his focus for the speech is education...

As a former teacher, I have firsthand experience as to how a proper education can impact a child’s future. As President, I will fight to ensure that a higher percentage of our tax dollars make their way directly to the classrooms where the actual teaching and learning are taking place. In my state of Nevada, for example, less than 65 cents of every education tax dollar is spent in the classroom. Too much of taxpayers’ money is being directed on off-campus, bureaucratic and administrative programs.

My federal plan for education is quite simple – leave more local tax dollars for local school districts to make local decisions that affect local students. The more Washington and union interests have increased their influence over public education, the further back our students have fallen behind. We must reverse this course and not fail yet another generation of future American workers. I have more faith in Americans getting this right than I do with education bureaucrats in Washington.

Sue Lowden makes a stop in Richmond, Virginia where she held a townhall style rally. After giving a short speech, she opened up the floor to questions. An undecided college student raised her hand, and asked the following question...

Undecided Voter: Ms. Lowden, Israel has been a hot-topic lately. Where do you stand, and how, if President, would you like our nation's relationship with Israel to be?
Lowden: Our relationship with Israel is critical to the safety and security of not just our two nations, but to the entire world. As a stable democracy and strong global partner, Israel faces some of the most daunting challenges in promoting freedom, tolerance and peace. Through continued military support, joint cooperation on matters of safety and security, economic trade, and mutual respect for our strong values and cultures, our partnership with Israel will continue to grow stronger. As President, I will work to promote our shared objectives by enhancing economic security between our nations. It is vital that we have a strong relationship with our Israeli friends.
