Conservative group rolls out $4 million ad buy to boost US Republicans in congressional racesFP Action, a major conservative advocacy group backed by billionaire Charles Koch, is rolling out over $4 million worth of digital ads starting on Monday backing Republican congressional candidates throughout the country.
The ad buy, first disclosed to Reuters, will buoy Republican Senate candidates in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Ohio, Montana and Nevada. In all of those states, Republican challengers are locked in relatively tight races with incumbent Democratic senators.
While Democrats currently hold a 51-49 Senate advantage, they will be defending several competitive seats when voters go to the polls on Nov. 5, and Republicans have a solid chance of flipping control of the chamber.
The ad buy, the group's biggest one-time purchase this cycle, will also support 11 Republicans vying for House seats in five states, including battlegrounds Michigan, Arizona and Pennsylvania.
The group is spending $3.5 million for ads in Senate races and $549,500 on House races, with $1 million dedicated to supporting the candidacy of Pennsylvania Senate candidate David McCormick. The latest ads will run on multiple digital platforms, including streaming services.
So far this election cycle, the group has spent slightly over $15 million supporting Republican congressional candidates, excluding the latest buy.................
