"Spanberger and her allies have spent $50 million on ads for Tuesday's election, compared with $25 million by Republican nominee Winsome Earle-Sears and GOP groups, according to the ad-tracking firm AdImpact. In New Jersey's race for governor - which is widely seen as more competitive - the ad spending derby is closer, but Democrats still have spent more. Democrat Mikie Sherrill and aligned groups have invested $61 million on ad spots since June, vs. $41 million by Republican Jack Ciattarelli and aligned GOP groups."
"In both races, several Democratic ads have zeroed in on President Trump, often tying their opponents to his handling of pocketbook issues. Taxes and crime are other top issues in the spots. A common Democratic theme in 2024 - Trump as a threat to democracy - hasn't been emphasized much because party leaders say it didn't resonate with voters last year."
Abigail Spanberger and allied groups spent $50 million on ads for the Virginia governor's race, compared with $25 million by Republican nominee Winsome Earle-Sears and GOP groups. In New Jersey, Democrat Mikie Sherrill and aligned groups invested $61 million on ad spots since June, versus $41 million by Republican Jack Ciattarelli and allied GOP groups. Several Democratic ads in both races zero in on President Trump and tie opponents to his handling of pocketbook issues. Taxes and crime are frequent ad themes. In Pennsylvania, Democrats and allied groups out-advertised opponents about 4-to-1 and emphasized abortion rights. In California, the pro-Prop 50 campaign has spent roughly $94 million versus $37 million opposing the measure.
