As the political network affiliated with Charles and David Koch highlighted its focus on Senate races at a retreat, its super PAC released three separate seven-figure ad buys in three Senate races.
The ads, shared first with reporters invited to cover the network’s seminar this weekend, will go up in Nevada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania, bringing the total that the super PAC, Freedom Partners Action Fund, has spent up to $24 million.
The $1.2 million TV and digital ad buy in Nevada, once again is centered around attacking Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto over Uber. The $1.3 million ad buy in Pennsylvania accuses Katie McGinty of steering subsidies to a “favored few.” And the $1.4 million ad in Ohio focuses on Ted Strickland’s handling of the state budget during his tenure as governor.
Here’s a little more info:
Freedom Partners Action Fund, the main super-PAC for the donor network helmed by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, is launching three separate seven-figure ad campaigns to help Republican senators competing in the Nevada, Ohio, and Pennsylvania races.
The Koch network has already spent more than $24 million in Senate races and has advertising reservations for the fall totaling at least $42 million.
“Whether it’s putting the special interests before taxpayers’ interest, or making tough times even harder with harmful tax-and-spend policies, it’s clear that Catherine Cortez Masto, Ted Strickland and Katie McGinty would only continue the failed policies that rig the system for the well-off and well-connected," said Koch network spokesman James Davis, who is here attending the Kochs' summer donor retreat at a luxury resort in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
Here’s the attack ad they are running against Strickland:
Since the Kochs aren’t spending any money on Donald Trump they are trying to save a do-nothing Senate from being taken down with him. We cannot allow this to happen. Click below to donate and get involved with the Democrats running for Senate in these states:
