Friends of Democracy Super PAC Makes First TV Buy

A new Super PAC, Friends of Democracy, which is critical of the Super PAC money spent on political ads targeting candidates, has just bought $700,000 worth of TV time in four states for political ads targeting four incumbent Republican House members. The incumbents in the Super PAC's sites are Reps Dan Lungren (R-CA), Chip Cravaack (R-MN), Sean Duffy (R-WI) and Charlie Bass (R-NH). That means broadcasters in the districts in California, Minnesota, Wisconsin and New Hampshire represented by the congressmen not only benefit from the Super PAC money, but from the dollars targeting all that other Super PAC spending.
