Politico exclusively reports that the Senate Leadership Fund today booked $67.1 million in initial advertising reservations for the fall elections. The buys include:
- $9.2 million in Arizona (via affiliate group Defend Arizona)
- $5.5 million in Colorado
- $12.6 million in Iowa
- $10.8 million in Kentucky (via affiliate group Keep Kentucky Great)
- $7.2 million in Maine
- $21.8 million in North Carolina
This is more than double SLF’s initial reservations for the 2018 elections, and far outpaces SLF’s initial reservations for the 2016 elections.
“Protecting our Republican Senate majority has become synonymous with ensuring a firewall against the Democrats’ far-left ambitions. This initial investment won’t be our last, but it is more than double what we initially reserved in 2018, and it demonstrates we intend to hold the line.” -SLF President Steven Law
