Ann McLane Kuster

We're almost at the one-year mark for 2010 elections, and you can feel races starting to heat up. Around here, that means keeping a close eye on some of the most highly anticipated races in the country. A number of impressive women candidates have the press and the pundits talking, and we want to make sure you know about the latest House buzz:

Ann McLane Kuster, NH-02
The Nashua Telegraph recently reported that "Democratic congressional candidate Ann McLane Kuster is on a roll." And NH Political Report has had similar words of praise, saying she's proving herself in this campaign and giving her two "up arrows" in a row. Not a bad beginning for this up-and-comer running for a critical open seat.

Julie Hamos, IL-10
EMILY's List candidate Julie Hamos has had "a strong early showing as she prepares for a tough primary against Democrat Dan Seals," according to Politico. They went on to say Hamos will "need every bit of it to compete in a suburban Chicago seat where advertising is expensive."

Tarryl Clark, MN-06
The Minnesota Independent had plenty of good things to say about House candidate Tarryl Clark. "Tarryl Clark has been rolling up endorsements from labor unions all week. The Minnesota AFL-CIO, the Service Employees International Union’s state council and the Minnesota Building and Construction Trades Council all announced that they’ll be backing the state senator in her campaign to unseat U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann."

We'll keep you updated as these races develop.
