-'''Conservative Victory Fund''' or '''CVF''' was founded more than 30 years ago by the late [[conservative]] leader, Congressman [[John Ashbrook]]. CVF works to elect a conservative majority to the [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. House of Representatives]] and the [[United States Senate|U.S. Senate]].
+#REDIRECT [[Conservative Victory Fund]]
-Before Conservative Victory Fund supports a [[candidate]] challenging an [[incumbent]] or running for an open seat, they research the race including the candidates who are running. They then send out a questionnaire that must be answered and signed by the candidate before support is considered.
-Conservative Victory Fund does get involved in primaries to support the conservative candidate over [[moderates]] or [[liberal|liberals]].  Once a candidate is elected they keep track of what he or she does in Congress and maintain a relationship with the Congressman or Senator to help ensure that he or she remains a conservative.
-They only provide financial assistance to incumbents who are conservative and can be shown to be so by their votes in Congress. They also try to help conservative incumbents with donations who are being targeted by the liberals.
-In addition to providing direct financial assistance, CVF also provides in-kind assistance that results in multiplying their direct financial help. Additionally, they provide consulting and other help to numerous conservative campaigns.
-== Our Record of Accomplishments ==
-A number of solid conservatives are fighting against ever growing multi-trillion dollar deficits, more bailouts, and even bigger government. But they need more allies. And that's why Conservative Victory Fund (CVF) exists: to elect conservatives to the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.
-Some conservatives whom CVF has helped elect include:
-*Congresswoman [[Michele Bachmann]] (MN)
-*Congressman [[Paul Broun Jr.]] (GA)
-*Congressman [[Andy Harris]] (MD)
-*Senator [[Jim Inhofe]] (OK)
-*Congressman [[Doug Lamborn]] (CO)
-*Senator [[Mike Lee]] (UT)
-*Senator [[Jim Risch]] (ID)
-*Congressman [[Dana Rohrabacher]] (CA)
-*Congressman [[Allen West]] (FL)
-== In 2008 ==
-Thanks to its supporters, CVF had victories in 2008. In the Senate, Conservative Victory Fund helped elect and re-elect a number of conservatives including: Senators Jim Inhofe (OK), [[John Cornyn]] (TX), [[Roger Wicker]] (MS), [[Jeff Sessions]] (AL), [[Pat Roberts]] (KS), and [[Saxby Chambliss]] (GA) (whom CVF helped in the general election and subsequent runoff) among others. Also, Jim Risch became a new conservative face in the Senate when he won Larry Craig's Senate seat with the help of Conservative Victory Fund.
-During its 40 year history Conservative Victory Fund has always looked to open seats to make sure conservatives fill them whenever possible. 2008 was no different. CVF helped conservative stalwart [[Tom McClintock]] win an open seat in [[California]] though millions were spent on behalf of his opponent. Also in California, CVF helped [[Duncan D. Hunter]] win election (he had recently returned from active duty service in our nation's armed forces). In Colorado, [[Mike Coffman]] won a hard fought contest for [[Tom Tancredo]]'s seat. In [[Florida]], CVF was active helping [[Bill Posey]] win an open seat and [[Tom Rooney]] defeat Democrat incumbent [[Tim Mahoney]]. CVF's efforts in [[Illinois]] helped conservative [[Aaron Schock]] win and become the youngest member elected to Congress. And in [[Utah]], after conservatives showed their lack of faith in incumbent [[Chris Cannon]], [[Jason Chaffetz]] won his seat. And in a special election in [[Louisiana]] CVF helped [[John Fleming]] win his open seat race.
-The liberals and their allies in the media targeted a number of solid conservatives in the U.S. House of Representatives for defeat. Conservative Victory Fund helped many who were reelected. These include:
-*Congressmen [[Mark Souder]] (IN),
-*Michele Bachmann (MN),
-*[[Scott Garrett]] (NJ),
-*[[John Shadegg]] (AZ),
-*Dana Rohrabacher (CA),
-*[[Doug Lamborn]] (CO), and
-*[[Jean Schmidt]] (OH) -- to mention a few.
