The Map
Four Senate races. Our candidate is the margin. In Texas, Ohio, Kansas and Iowa, our candidate's poll share covers the gap between the two parties, in the polls that name him (his share against the gap, in points: Texas 3.5 against 2.0, Ohio 2.4 against 2.0, Kansas 3.0 against 0.0, Iowa 2.6 against 0.3). Michigan and New Hampshire are short of it.

Plus the anthem "Margin Is Calling," in four versions.

The Record, 2016, New Hampshire
Aaron Day ran in the Senate race and recruited the third-party candidates in the other two. The most expensive per-capita Senate race in U.S. history to that point, and the closest Senate race in the country that year.
Republicans lost all three. New Hampshire sent its first all-Democratic federal delegation since the 33rd Congress (1853 to 1855), and has not elected a Republican to Congress since.
New Hampshire Secretary of State, certified results.
The Track Record
More than 200 candidates elected, at every level of government, state and federal, counted across Stark360, the Republican Liberty Caucus of New Hampshire and the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance.
Stark360 (2014), the hybrid PAC Aaron Day founded and chaired (FEC C00566505): an anti-endorsement campaign naming nine sitting state legislators; robocall, phone-bank and online campaigns for 109 candidates, including one million robocalls; $86,309 in independent expenditures on 2014-cycle receipts of $228,035; six of its twelve endorsed State Senate candidates won.
