•On his September 13 Fox News program, Hannity told North Carolina congressional candidate Ilario Pantano that "you belong in Congress, I'm very impressed." In an email, Pantano highlighted the Fox News exchange to raise campaign funds. The campaign also issued a press release calling Hannity's praise a "significant achievement."
•West Virginia congressional candidate David McKinley explained to reporters why he brought in Dick Morris for an event: "I think people that have followed Fox News and get a lot of their news that way, maybe this is something that they can relate to. But this man has a national voice that understands this economy."

•"The Chuck Fleischmann for Congress campaign [TN] announced today that conservative leader, and Fox News host, Mike Huckabee will be coming to the 3rd District to campaign for Chuck." [April 8 press release]
•The Palm Beach Post reported on August 20 that Florida attorney general candidate Pam Bondi is trying to win over voters by touting her connections to Fox News.

•The Bay Area Republican Women (TX) touted Perino's Fox News affiliation in an invitation to a February fundraiser.
