Oct. 21 - on NECN at the Capitol Center for the Performing Arts in Concord (>).

Oct. 23 - on NH1 partnering with CNN from Concord (>).

Oct. 30 - hosted by WMUR-TV, the Union-Leader and ABC News.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics (>), the Shaheen campaign spent $16.4 million to $9.2 million for the Brown campaign, while outside groups spent an additional $32.2 million.  Nine groups spent more than $1 million each.  On the Democratic side there were the DSCC ($5.3 million), Senate Majority PAC ($3.4 million), NextGen Climate Action ($3.1 million) and Mayday PAC ($1.6 million).  On the Republican side Ending Spending Action Fund spent $4.5 million, followed by American Crossroads ($2.7 million), U.S. Chamber of Commerce ($2.6 million), Ending Spending ($2.2 million) and the NRSC ($1.4 million).
