Thank you Iowa!

Tonight was an amazing victory, and I'm so thrilled. I'm so incredibly humbled the support, trust, and faith Iowa Republicans put in me tonight. This is truly incredible.

PHIL PHIL PHIL PHIL

I want to thank Governor Hogan and Representative Stefanik. Who are here tonight!"

(Cheer)

Now this is a crowd!

(Cheer)

Governor Hogan, Representative Stefanik were here in Des Moines tonight. But Governor Noem, Senator Young, they were out there too! I was just on the phone with them, and we're so excited for what we've accomplished!

(Cheer)

I need to thank everyone who went out to caucus tonight, thank you for your support! You've sent a big message to Washington!

(Cheer)

Thanks to my campaign staff, our precinct captains, our county directors.

(Cheer)

I need to thank my amazing wife Diana for all the amazing support this year and every year. I love you Diana. And to my amazing daughters Erica and Rachael. Thank you girls. I want to congratulate Senator Murkowski, she fought hard for this state, and she won. I also want to thank our volunteers tonight!

(Big Cheer)

You showed that when we make calls, knock on doors, put up signs and get people to caucus, we win!

(Cheers)

Out in Berry Vermont, I never thought I'd be in the running for the Presidency. I never thought I'd be Governor of Vermont. But I grew up in a family of public servants, and when I started my small business, I just wanted to help my community. When I ran for State Senate, I wanted to help a larger community of my friends and neighbors. Tonight I stand before you to do the same thing, to help our one big American neighborhood. We know what the problems are, so let's solve them. We must break down the barriers of gridlock and slowdown in Washington. Oil the gears of Washington, send in new faces, change makers, to get results for you. For you, the people of Iowa, and the American people! For people, not politics!

(Cheers, PHIL PHIL PHIL)

We must make our tax code more fair, more equitable, simpler. Close the loopholes and cut the rates. We must invest in our infrastructure. In our bridges, roads, telephone lines. Create thousands of new jobs in Iowa alone.

(Cheers, PHIL PHIL PHIL)

And Iowa, you know this more than anyone. Just like New York and Vermont know. We must save the small town farmer."

(Big cheer, PHIL PHIL PHIL)

Our campaign continues into New Hampshire, where I am confident we will win, and we will win big. We are going to send another big message to Washington, that politics as usual isn't good enough for the American people. Iowa sent that message tonight.

(PHIL PHIL PHIL)

"Let's do this, let's go to every state, and let's win this primary, and let's win this election. Thank you Iowa, god bless America and good night!

(Phil leaves stage, cheers, PHIL PHIL PHIL)

Phil Scott Remarks in Manchester

(February 10, Major Excerpt)


We have a real opportunity to do things differently in New Hampshire. We can change Washington, we know we can! We know we can, because Concord and Montpelier have bridged the partisan divide, we've balanced our budgets, made our tax codes fairer, and protected the most vulnerable. New Hampshire has the power to a send a message, just like Iowa, that we want results, not gridlock. We want lower taxes, a simpler tax code, investment in our infrastructure, and dignity for our vets and seniors. Our plan would create thousands of new jobs in New Hampshire alone, create economic growth, and reduce the deficit. So we can protect our vets, our seniors, and give them the benefits they deserve. Let's end the worst excesses of the War on Drugs, and turn the funding towards fighting the Opioid Epidemic, new treatment centers, more Naloxone available to those who need it. Put people before politicking. Let's send a message!

Sherrod Brown 2020
Rebuild America.

'Let's get to work.' Sherrod Brown delivers Iowa victory speech.

Thank you, Iowa! Thank you! Tonight was not just a victory for our movement. Tonight was a victory for the middle class. Let me take this opportunity to thank the many, many thousands of campaign volunteers and staff who worked tirelessly to fight for this movement and this campaign. You worked day and night, made phone calls and knocked on countless doors. You built this movement of monumental, historic energy to deliver the victory we celebrate tonight. We won because of that energy.

When you love this country, you fight for the people who make it work, and tonight, we take that fight from Iowa to New Hampshire, South Carolina, Nevada, and the rest of America. Nearly a year ago, we began this campaign and this movement. We had hardly any campaign organization or money, but together, we built a massive grassroots movements of millions of hard-working middle and lower income families who felt the effects of a rigged and unjust economy. And tonight, we won and we won decisively because of that movement. Together, we have sent a message to Wall Street and Washington D.C: that our government should work for all of us, not Wall Street and it's super PACs.

This race was never about me. It was about the steel worker in Fort Dodge, the auto parts worker in Waterloo, the small businessman in Iowa City, the farmer in Sioux Center, the professor in Sioux City, the veteran in Pella, the electrician in Keokuk, the teacher in Waukee. It was about them sending a message to the political and economic establishment that we cannot continue to accept a corrupt campaign finance system that undermines our democracy or where Wall Street can continue to destabilize our economy or where corporate executives can take hundreds of thousands in pay every year while American workers live paycheck to paycheck.

I'd like to thank Senator Kerry and Governor Sink and their organization and supporters for waging a vigorous campaign. I hope that in the days ahead we can continue to wage a strong issue-oriented campaign and bring new people into the political process.

What happened tonight in Iowa is nothing short of proof of a massive grassroots movement to reclaim this country's basic bargain and rebuild America, for all race, genders, and upbringings. But the ballgame isn't over yet. The campaign doesn't end in Iowa. Tomorrow, we'll wake up, and we'll send this movement from here to New Hampshire, Nevada, North Dakota, and the rest of this nation, to once again make the United States the leader in the world in economic prosperity for it's middle class. Let's get to work. Thank you, Iowa, and good night.

Phil Scott Remarks in Lancaster

(February 7, Major Excerpt)


New Hampshire can send a message on Tuesday. that as a nation. We want to put people, like Tom who owns a brewpub nearby, who I spoke to earlier. Really, poignant story, people like Tom, before politics. It's not a hard choice. We know the problems we face as a nation. Millions of good people, you know quite like Tom, good New Hampshire folks, dead from opioid abuse. It can happen to anyone. We see the roads connecting the barns to the towns and the towns to the cities, they're in disrepair. We see the tax codes, pages and pages, full of loopholes and deductions that favor multinational banks over hard working New Hampshire folks. Let's bring taxes down for everyone, put more money in your pockets, and close the loopholes. So we know the problems. This is a time for citizenship, not Washington pettiness and politics. So let's get to the polling stations, send a message, that we want people first!

Sherrod Brown 2020
Rebuild America.

Campaign Schedule.

February 4th: Prior to flying to New Hampshire, Senator Brown made an early morning stop at an Iowa campaign headquarters to thank supporters for the "tremendous, historic victory for the progressive movement." Later, he held a press conference where he talked up the victory, saying it was by an "unexpected margin" and "we were even shocked by how much we won by." Brown also remarked that "we're ready to take this momentum and enthusiasm to New Hampshire." Flying to New Hampshire, Brown first held a radio interview on WGIR and other local talk radio stations, where, among other things, responded to questions revolving around suburban voters, saying that "This campaign is fighting to create a future where every family in this country and in this state has the means to acquire universal childcare and healthcare, quality education, and economic security, including suburban families"

February 5th: Senator Brown held a series of meet & greets and round-table discussions at local schools in Manchester with suburban families, teachers, and students. Brown focused on his plans to raise teacher pay and education funding, invest in school and road infrastructure, provide universal childcare & healthcare, and a bold plan to triple the earned income tax credit to raise wages, though he mainly focused on education and healthcare. Brown later attended an interview on CNN, where he said he was ready "to send the progressive movement nationwide" with a win in New Hampshire.

February 6th: Sherrod Brown was honored to receive the endorsement of Senator Jeanne Shaheen in a press conference in Manchester. Senator Shaheen stated that "she was not here to act as a kingmaker, simply to endorse who understands New Hampshire best." The Brown Campaign drove to Concord, New Hampshire to hold a large rally with Senators Baldwin & Shaheen and Congresswoman Gabbard. Senator Brown told the crowd that "New Hampshire will be the defining moment of this campaign." If he can win New Hampshire, Senator Brown says, "that's the ballgame," further boosting enthusiasm among supporters. Baldwin joined to promote Brown's progressive status to skeptical Abrams voters, while Gabbard acted as an attack dog to Kerry on his Iraq War vote, continuing to double down on the attacks and draw undecided Abrams supporters away from Kerry, while touting Brown's vote against the Iraq War, drawing undecided progressive voters towards Brown. Shaheen boosted Brown's status as the candidate "who understands New Hampshire's progressive, working class values best." Brown spent the rest of the day meeting with senior AARP members to discuss plans of expanding social security and reducing the cost of prescription drugs to boost his credibility as the best candidate for seniors.

February 7th: The days begins early, with Senator Brown making several appearances on early morning, drive time radio programs. Brown took this time to answer questions on the gray area of his progressive support, where he touted progressive votes in the house such as his vote against reckless trade agreements, the Iraq War, and the PATRIOT Act, while promoting progressive plans such as childcare & healthcare for all, tripling the earned income tax credit, raising the minimum wage to $15 p/hr, and reinstating Glass-Steagall bank regulations. Later in the day, Brown would conduct a series of outreach sessions and phone calls, accompanied by Congressman John Lewis, to undecided progressive voters and former Abrams supporters to boost his progressive record. Lewis said about Brown that, "He's a committed, progressive fighter who has always stood on the right side of history and is ready to build that dream for everyone." Ending the day, Senator Brown delivered a speech to Young Democrats where he outlined that he would push for a tuition-free, debt-free college, $15 minimum wage and a $5.5 billion investment in a Youth Jobs training program to create millions of youth jobs.

February 8th to February 9th: Sherrod Brown took to finally rally the base with a series of rallies and registration drives across the state of New Hampshire throughout the few days. In a rally in Cedar Rapids, Sherrod Brown was joined by Senator Bernie Sanders, where he called him "the progressive change this country needs." Along the trail, Brown would double down on his message of political revolution, campaign finance reform, and "restoring the dignity in work," building all the necessary components that gave Sanders a win just four years ago. Sanders also increased Brown's credibility as the progressive candidate, boasting his votes against the Iraq War and the PATRIOT Act, as well as spearheading the fight against CAFTA. Brown's wife, Connie Schultz, also made frequent appearances at Brown's rally in a push to woo female, suburban voters.

February 10th: Senator Brown begun the final day before the primary with an early call to his campaign HQ in Manchester. Joined by Senator Jeanne Shaheen and his wife Connie Schultz, Senator Brown brought coffee and doughnuts for his campaign staff, and gave a passionate pep talk to his campaign staff telling them 'they need to bring their a-game tomorrow' and reminded staffers and volunteers that this campaign is 'here to push back against the past 40 years of income inequality' and has been about 'finally putting the United States back at number one for economic prosperity for it's working families.' In enthusing staff, Brown reminded voters that the last internal poll indicated the campaign was only down by 1% in New Hampshire. Senator Brown then held a massive rally in Concord where he told the audience that "it's time to fight back" against the Romney administration. After, Sherrod spent the rest of the day meeting with union halls to make sure they had a plan to vote. 

February 11th: Senator Brown began the day meeting with College Democrats at Manchester universities and coordinated campaign efforts to ensure they had a plan to get out the vote. After focusing on youth GOTV, Brown would coordinate GOTV strategies for union, suburbanite, and rural voters. In the evening, the campaign's official election night rally is held at the Grappone Conference Center in Concord.

Sherrod Brown 2020
Rebuild America.

Campaign Highlights

Sherrod Brown holds evening radio interview on WGIR.

Q: Senator Brown, we're just days away from the primary here in New Hampshire. Manchester, here, has a large suburban population. Most of these voters seem to turn to Governor Sink and Senator Kerry as their candidate. What would you say to them?

A: Well, I'd say to the voters of New Hampshire that this movement is built on a coalition of urban, rural and suburban families to reclaim this country as the most prosperous for our families and our children. This campaign is fighting to create a future where every family in this country and in this state has the means to acquire universal childcare and healthcare, quality education, and economic security, including suburban families here in Manchester. Y'know, I was raised in urban Mansfield, Ohio, so I understand some skepticism stems from there (laughs), but throughout my time in Congress and during this campaign, I've met great people in areas like these in Ohio and New Hampshire and I've gotten to understand the issues that matter deeply to them.

A couple months back, I met a working mom named Jeanne raising two children, who's now having to work two jobs. She said that the cost of childcare and health insurance is too high for her to pay for it with her first job because the wages are simply menial. Stories like these are the same for thousands of families across Manchester. Working families should not have to continue to have to deal with the past 40 years where childcare and healthcare prices are skyrocketing while wages are hardly rising. What this movement is about is reversing that by providing universal childcare for all, healthcare for all, making historic investments in our roads and bridges, and providing economic security for working families across this country.

I think that Jeanne's story is one that a lot of people listening to relate to. If we want to stop it, we need to actually push a pro-wage growth agenda that includes universal healthcare and childcare, instead of investing that money into tax cuts for the rich like this administration has done. If listeners want to find out more about my agenda, you can look it up on sherrodbrown.com, and I'd be happy to meet with any listeners at future campaign events to discuss how we're going to bring back America's families.

Connie Schultz jumps on the campaign trail.

In a continued bid to woo female, suburban voters, Connie Schultz made an appearance at a campaign event for Brown:

You know, it took a lot of deliberation to decide we were going to run this campaign, but I think we ultimately decided it because of moms and dads here in Manchester and across the country who have been struggling for the past 40 years with the rising cost of childcare and healthcare, having to work 2 or 3 different jobs, while ensuring their children have a good standard of education. Sherrod has been fighting the good fight for those families in Congress. He's been at the forefront of these fights for his entire time in public service, and I told him to run for President because it's time to take this fight to the White House.

It was so moving to meet the families I have across New Hampshire. A mother with two children working a few jobs, a young family burdened by their student debt coming out of college, a single mom barely scrapping by working on tips. These are why I encouraged my husband to run, these are why I continue to encourage him to continue the fight. It's what America is all about. When our country faces such enormous levels of income inequality, citizens step forward, they build movements, they make change. We want someone who's ready to bring America back as the most prosperous nation for us and our children. That man is my husband, that man is someone I've seen fight everyday on the floor of the senate for us, that man is someone who has built a movement of millions of working families to ensure we can all live our lives with dignity and security - Sherrod Brown.

Sherrod Brown holds final rally, tells voters: "It's time to fight back."

'The most moving moment I've has as I traveled around New Hampshire was when I meet with a suburban mom with a child who had to work three different jobs because of the ridiculously high prices of childcare and healthcare in this country. You know what she said 'I just want someone who cares.' She has to work for 3 different jobs, each grueling hours, just to live paycheck to paycheck in the grind of an economy that funnels all the wealth to the richest 1%. It's sickening, and the Romney administration has instead put their focuses on massive tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans over investments in the middle class.

I told her that the first thing we'll do in the White House is reform our broken tax code that benefits the richest and triple the earned income tax credit so workers like her who work three different jobs and put hard effort into each one has the means to acquire the wages that get her by. But I said her to that I'll remember her story, and I'll remember what I've learnt here in New Hampshire.

For too many of my fellow Americans, the dream of progress and opportunity is being denied by the grind of an economy that funnels all the wealth to the top. During periods of great depressions and recessions, the middle class has continued to be beaten down repeatedly. Massive tax breaks given to the wealthy, borrowing money to pay for two endless wars, and falling incomes for middle class families. It is time we embark on the next greatest journey in our country's history and build a lasting progressive era where everyone has the wages to get by and everyone has the dignity in their labor. Tomorrow, New Hampshire, the choice to make that happen is on the ballot.

Sherrod Brown 2020
Rebuild America.

Campaign Ad: Stretched.

- ad opens with Connie Schultz (w/o Sherrod) talking directly to camera -

Connie (narrator): Families today are stretched with the ridiculous price of childcare and healthcare,having to work several jobs, while real working family wages hardly budge. There is just no dignity in that work.

- ad shifts to Sherrod Brown, in Congress -

Connie (narrator): Sherrod Brown has been at the forefront of this fight for working families. He's been rated 100% pro-choice, endorsed by the National Education Association, and endorsed by NARAL Pro-Choice America. Sherrod Brown understands how much family matters to us, I would know, I'm his wife.
 
- ad shifts to various scenes of families -

Sherrod believes families deserve:

Universal, Accessible Childcare for All

Ensuring Equal Pay for Women

Universal Healthcare for All Families

Investments in Quality Education

Triple the Earned Income Tax Credit

- ad shifts back to Connie (w/ Sherrod) talking to camera -

Connie (narrator): Because Sherrod is committed to fighting for working families so that they have dignity in their work and security in their lives.

Sherrod Brown: I'm Sherrod Brown and I approve this message.

Aired in New Hampshire, Vermont, Nevada, and South Carolina

Lisa Murkowski Surrogate Schedule

Susan Collins and Kelly Ayotte join Lisa Murkowski for a joint rally in Nashua, followed by each splitting up to campaign for Murkowski. Kelly Ayotte turned her focus on rallying supporters in southeast New Hampshire, with a focus on the Senator’s fiscal conservatism but moderate streak. Susan Collins turned her focus to the more rural north, speaking with voters on agricultural issues and Senator Murkowski’s focus on their interests and concerns. Both senators helped with canvassing, phone calls, rallies, and GOTV efforts.

Judd Gregg and John Sununu held several events across southern New Hampshire, with Senator Gregg focusing on Murkowski’s results in the Senate. John Sununu focused his efforts in Rockingham, Hillsborough, and Merrimack counties, centering in on Senator Murkowski’s balance of energy and climate policy. Both later joined Murkowski’s watch party.

Finally, at a Concord rally, Vice President Paul Ryan came out to introduce Lisa Murkowski. In his introduction, he focused on the successes of the Romney administration, and how a gentle conservatism had won the day. The Vice President proceeded to hold rallies at Derry and Portsmouth, before heading to South Carolina to hold a rally and host a watch party at the Murkowski Charleston HQ.

New Hampshire GOTV Strategy: Sherrod Brown

After a win in Iowa, the Brown campaign is pushing for a major upset in New Hampshire, hoping to greatly exceed expectations and potentially win in the New Hampshire primary, utilizing grassroots supports to attract massive turnout to the polls. Using the same strategy used in Iowa, the Brown campaign used nearly all surrogates in the final week of the campaign to appear and campaign on behalf of Sherrod. In forming Sherrod's New Hampshire coalition, Brown used the surrogates of Senator Bernie Sanders, Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard, Congressman John Lewis, Secretary Hillary Clinton, Senator Ed Markey, and Senator Jeanne Shaheen. In particular, Hillary Clinton and Jeanne Shaheen made rounds around New Hampshire suburbs, reaching out to Sink and Kerry voters, and pushing them into the Brown fold, pushing his endorsements from the NEA and NARAL Pro-Choice America and generally focusing mostly on Sherrod's education and healthcare plans, major issues in the suburbs. With high progressive turnout being indicated, Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, and John Lewis made their efforts on expanding his progressive and youth support, mostly pulling them away from Kerry, lambasting his vote on the Iraq War. As initial Sherrod supporters (i.e, they supported Brown before Abrams dropped out), they tried to boost Brown as an authentic progressive. Meanwhile, Ed Markey focused on richer, suburban areas reaching out on environmental, education, and infrastructure issues.

While Sherrod had pushed to maintain his base (and was not really challenged in that front) of union, working-class "average joe" and rural voters, he heavily made efforts targeting suburban voters, senior voters, the 18-34 demographic, and expanding his progressive base in creating a winning coalition for New Hampshire. In rural areas, Brown used his appeals to farmers, seniors, and union voters to create a strong coalition in that area. Ultimately, the Brown campaign hopes to come from behind and win the New Hampshire primary with a massive grassroots effort built. The following are other general actions taken by the Brown campaign for New Hampshire:

-Present Brown as an authentic progressive populist, building a grassroots movement of working families
-Show a strong focus on wages, being the only candidate concerned about wage stagnation and rising income inequality, while pushing progressive positions like medicare for all and debt-free, tuition-free college
-Promote endorsements of Sanders, the NAACP, and Gabbard (all endorsed Brown before Abrams dropped out) to skeptical progressive voters
-Attack Kerry for his vote on the Iraq War and the PATRIOT Act, pealing away progressives from his fold
-Target suburban voters through the endorsements of Shaheen and Clinton and focusing on healthcare, education, and raising family incomes, major issues to suburbs
-Target Kerry's base of rich suburbanites, focusing on Brown's plan for aggressive climate change action, investments in school and road infrastructure, and large increases to the education budget
