The Service Employees International Union announced the US Senate race in NH is one of only seven it will target for an extensive effort to influence the outcome this fall.

   Colorado’s Senate race is the only other one in the nation to get this attention along with five House races in Minnesota, Missouri, Michigan, Ohio and Virginia that will include voter contact, paid and unpaid media.

  Republican Sen. John E. Sununu’s support for insurance company profits over health care for senior citizens played a role in this decision, SEIU officials said.
