Democratic super PAC reserves $1.1 million in Miami TV time

By Alex Daugherty

A super PAC that seeks to elect Democrats to the House of Representatives is reserving $1.1 million in Miami TV time ahead of the 2018 elections, the first of what could be millions in outside TV spending in two competitive Miami congressional races.

House Majority PAC announced Thursday it has reserved just over $43 million for television ads in the final weeks of the 2018 election cycle nationwide. The outlay includes $1,119,500 in Miami and $420,000 in West Palm Beach.

“The Republicans are panicking about losing their majority in the House, because they know that across the country Democrats have top-notch candidates running, and there’s a surge in grassroots participation,” House Majority PAC Executive Director Charlie Kelly said in a statement. “2018 will bring a barrage of frantic negative attack ads from GOP outside groups, but HMP is ensuring we’re prepared early-on to fight back. Momentum is on our side, and with smart, strategic investments, we will help Democrats win across the country.”
