STORY HIGHLIGHTS
Washington (CNN) -- The formula is well known in presidential politics: Help campaign for your party's candidates in the midterms, run for president two years later.
Hillary Clinton, who is admittedly thinking about running for president, appears to be following this formula. For months, Clinton aides protected the former secretary of state's midterm schedule but swore that she would be active.
Now, with a little more than a month to election day, Clinton's midterm schedule is starting to take shape.
Here is Clinton's schedule for the 2014 midterms. This post will be updated as new events are added:
MOST RECENT ADDITION:
New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen this week:
Hillary Clinton will headline a fundraiser for Sen. Jeanne Shaheen in New York City this week, according to a Democratic source.
Shaheen is currently running for reelection in a tight race against Republican Scott Brown, who formerly represented Massachusetts in the Senate.
A poll in August found that Shaheen and Brown were statistically tied, 46% to 44%.

Hillary Clinton's midterm campaign schedule
Hillary Rodham Clinton is scheduled to host what might be the single biggest fundraiser for Democratic Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown tonight in Potomac.
The former secretary of state and potential presidential candidate is headlining Brown's 5 p.m. event at a wooded 2.8-acre estate in the wealthy Washington suburb. Tickets cost $4,000 each even more for VIP tickets, according to an event invitation.
Brown campaign manager Justin Schall said as many as 500 people might attend and the campaign expects to raise more than $1 million a sum greater than that garnered during a May fundraiser for Brown featuring former President Bill Clinton.
Hillary Clinton has stepped up her political appearances in recent weeks, with events scheduled for Florida, Nevada, New York and New Hampshire to help other Democrats in the midterm elections. Clinton, a new grandmother, postponed another fundraiser that had been planned for today for a New Hampshire state senator according to the New Hampshire Journal. On Friday, the Clintons' only daughter, Chelsea, gave birth to the couple's first grandchild, a girl.
As of late Monday, Hillary Clinton was still expected in Maryland for Brown's event. If she comes, Clinton will not be the only potential 2016 presidential candidate on the grounds. Gov. Martin O'Malley also plans to attend.
The high-profile, high-dollar event comes during a bitterly fought campaign for Maryland's governor.
The Democratic Governors Association has put more than $750,000 behind attack ads against Brown's Republican opponent, Larry Hogan.
The Republican Governors Association, in turn, sent its chairman, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, to Maryland this month for a fundraiser to benefit Hogan.
Hogan campaign spokesman Adam Dubitsky used Clinton's appearance in Maryland to fire a salvo at Brown.
"Unlike the Clinton White House, which worked with Republicans to grow the economy, cut the deficit and create jobs, Anthony Brown is committed to extending the failed policies of one-party rule, his 40 job-killing tax hikes and reckless spending," Dubitsky said. "So, other than payback for Anthony Brown endorsing her for president over Barack Obama, we have no idea why Secretary Clinton would associate with him."

Hillary Clinton scheduled to appear at Brown fundraiser tonight
New grandmother and former secretary of state Hillary Rodham Clinton has decided to stay home in New York with daughter Chelsea today, skipping a planned high-dollar fundraiser for Democratic Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown.
Instead, former President Bill Clinton will headline the event in her place.
"I am very grateful to President Clinton for changing his schedule to travel to Maryland and attend our event this evening," Lt. Gov. Anthony G. Brown said in a statement. "I appreciate and respect Secretary Clinton's decision to stay and spend time with her daughter and new granddaughter, Charlotte. I appreciate both of the Clintons' commitment to the Brown-Ulman campaign."
This will be the second fundraiser Bill Clinton has attended for Brown. The last one in May raised nearly $1 million for the Democrat's bid. Campaign organizers expected tonight's event at a wooded, 2.8-acre private home in Potomac to raise even more.
The Clintons curtailed their busy election season schedules after Charlotte was born Friday. Bill Clinton has long been scheduled to headline a fundraiser in North Carolina today for the re-election of U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, a first-term Democrat.
This morning, Clinton added a stop in Maryland to his schedule accommodate the Brown fundraiser, Brown's campaign said.
Hillary Clinton's appearance was supposed to garner what might be the single biggest fundraiser for Brown. Tickets for the 5 p.m. cost in the wealthy Washington suburbs cost $4,000 each even more for VIP tickets, according to an event invitation.
Brown campaign manager Justin Schall said as many as 500 people might attend and the campaign expects to raise more than $1 million a sum greater than that garnered during a May fundraiser for Brown featuring Bill Clinton.
Before Charlotte's birth, Hillary Clinton had stepped up her political appearances in recent weeks, with events scheduled for Florida, Nevada, New York and Washington, D.C. to help other Democrats in the midterm elections. Clinton postponed another fundraiser that had been planned today for a New Hampshire state senator according to the New Hampshire Journal.
With Hillary Clinton's absence, Gov. Martin O'Malley will be the only potential 2016 presidential candidate on the grounds.

Hillary Clinton cancels Brown fundraising appearance, sends Bill Clinton
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will headline a fundraiser for U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) later this week in New York City, a Democratic Party source confirmed.
Clinton was to have starred at a fundraiser Sept. 30 in Washington, D.C., for state Sen. Lou D'Allesandro, D-Manchester, but the birth of her first grandchild postponed that event.
Clinton won the 2008 New Hampshire Democratic Presidential Primary. She and President Clinton remain close friends with Shaheen.
The likely 2016 presidential hopeful has yet to return to New Hampshire, home to the first-in-the-nation primary, but polls indicate her base of support remains strong.
A CNN/ORC poll two weeks ago had Clinton with 60 percent, and the next possible Democratic presidential candidate in that survey was Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) at 11 percent and Vice President Joe Biden at 8 percent.
