The Sentinel Action Fund is a project of Heritage Action to support candidates with widespread approval among grassroots activists. <\/p>\n<p>The group is pumping $1 million in the New Hampshire Senate contest with less than two weeks until Election Day to go after Democrat incumbent Maggie Hassan. Ads will begin airing in the state Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSenator Maggie Hassan has supported Biden and Schumer across the board, and it\u2019s time for her to go,\u201d Sentinel Action Fund President Jessica Anderson told The Federalist. \u201cGeneral Don Bolduc will always fight for New Hampshire. He is a political outsider who will fight the Biden agenda at every turn. It\u2019s time for every corner of the conservative movement to come together and support his surging candidacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sentinel Action Fund had already been spending against Hassan before Bolduc won the September primary. July ads targeted the New Hampshire Democrat on gas prices as Americans faced record pain at the pump throughout the summer due to White House suppression of domestic energy production.<\/p>\n<p>The late-race spending comes after a series of polls showed Bolduc well within the margin of error against the Democrat incumbent, exposing a ripe opportunity for a key pickup in the upper chamber. Despite the contest narrowing in Bolduc\u2019s favor, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell\u2019s super PAC to reclaim the majority, the Senate Leadership Fund (SLF), began to pull its remaining funding from the race. SLF announced $5.6 million in canceled spending on behalf of Bolduc Friday last week. <\/p>\n<p>The SLF announcement came two days after Bolduc, who was roundly opposed by the Washington establishment throughout the primary, maintained his opposition to McConnell for another term in GOP leadership. SLF <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/10\/26\/mcconnell-super-pac-bails-on-new-hampshire-senate-race-after-polls-show-a-dead-heat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">did not respond<\/a> to The Federalist\u2019s repeated inquiries as to whether the super PAC reviewed polling which showed the Republican nominee within the margin of error prior to pulling out. <\/p>\n<p>Heritage\u2019s Sentinel Action Fund also stepped into the Arizona Senate race after McConnell similarly <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/09\/21\/mcconnell-abandons-arizona-senate-race-to-maintain-a-gop-he-can-control\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">abandoned<\/a> Republican venture capitalist Blake Masters\u2019 bid to oust Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly. McConnell\u2019s super PAC pulled $18 million from the race through August and September with no plans to reinject capital. Instead, the SLF has dropped more than <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/politics\/2022\/10\/24\/murkowski-peltola-alaska\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">$5 million<\/a> to interfere in the Alaska Senate contest between two Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>McConnell\u2019s group has flooded the Alaska airwaves on behalf of incumbent Sen.
