~ United States Senator ~

---

This page contains candidate information about the candidates for United States Senator.

Highlights from this race:

• There are three "Pro-Animal Picks" in this race.
• Mark Udall is a "Pro-Animal Pick" because of his good overall voting record on animal-related bills in the U.S. House of Representatives. To volunteer to help his campaign, please contact the campaign (jack.waldorf@mail.house.gov). If you want the telephone number, please contact us.
  • Note: Our Ballot Buddy indicates voting scores from only the six most recent years (three congressional sessions). Although Mark Udall's scores from that period are mixed, in both the 1999-2000 and the 2001-2002 Congress he earned scores of 100% from CHVL. This included voting pro-animal on the bills that CHVL tracked, co-sponsoring several animal-friendly bills or amendments, and signing two letters (2001 and 2002) in support of additional funding for enforcement of the Animal Welfare Act prohibitions against animal fighting.
• Bob Kinsey is a "Pro-Animal Pick" because of his questionnaire response score of 93%. To volunteer to help his campaign, please contact the campaign (kinsey_65@msn.com). If you want the telephone number, please contact us.
• Bruce Lohmiller is a "Pro-Animal Pick" because of his questionnaire response score of 100%. To volunteer to help his campaign, please contact the campaign (2924 Orchard Avenue, Grand Junction CO 81504). If you want the telephone number, please contact us.
• There is one "Paws-Down" candidate in this race.
• Bob Schaffer is a ""Paws-Down" candidate because of his very poor overall voting record on animal-related bills in the U.S. House of Representatives.
