Americans for the Arts Action Fund PAC has made a list of key Congressional Races to Watch. "We believe the candidates in these races will help advance the arts on Capitol Hill in order to ensure the arts thrive in your local communities," says the PAC. "Contributions are made on a bipartisan basis. By Election Day, the Arts Action Fund PAC will have made over $70,000 in campaign contributions to more than 125 Congressional candidates in all 50 states.

"By donating to pro-arts candidates in both parties, the PAC strives to support those Democrats and Republicans who have demonstrated arts leadership and/or pledged to do so once they take office. The PAC made contributions to incumbents, challengers, and open seat candidates running for U.S. Congress in either the House or Senate." The list shows people in key races (in state order) and includes the latest polling predictions by the nonpartisan Cook Political Report. Listed are Bob Lord (D-AZ), Chris Shays (R-CT), Jim Marshall (D-GA), Mark Kirk (R-IL), Mary Landrieu (D-LA), Kay Barnes (D-MO), Tom Udall (D-NM) and more.
