Democrats commit $7 million to TV ads in 5 key state Senate races

Associated Press  

MADISON, Wis. — Wisconsin Democrats plan to spend $7 million on television ads in five state Senate races they believe are key to regaining control of the chamber, the biggest ad buy of its kind Democrats in the state have ever made in legislative races. For example, this one ad buy is nearly half of the money Democrats spent in the 2022 cycle on all legislative races in both the Senate and Assembly. By comparison, Democrats and their allies spent nearly $88 million on the 2022 Wisconsin governor’s race, part of the record-high $164 million spent on the contest won by Democrat Tony Evers. Democrats plan to run ads in the 8th Senate District, which includes Milwaukee’s conservative leaning northern suburbs.
