First in Punchbowl News: We’re in the final month of campaigning, and the House Majority PAC is running a string of new ads in competitive seats across the country.
In California’s 47th District, the Democratic super PAC is running two ads hitting Republican Scott Baugh on abortion and crime. We reported on Monday that HMP’s Republican counterpart was spending on a new ad painting Baugh’s opponent, Dave Min, as soft on crime.
In Michigan’s 10th District, HMP is attacking Rep. John James (R-Mich.) on abortion rights.
In Montana’s 1st District, HMP is accusing Rep. Ryan Zinke (R-Mont.) of raising the cost of living in the state.
In New York’s 19th District, the HMP ad paints Rep. Marc Molinaro (R-N.Y.) as a career politician.
HMP is also playing defense and protecting Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-Texas) with an ad that shows his GOP opponent, former Rep. Mayra Flores (R-Texas), as a conspiracy theorist.
Swing state watch: Rep. Chris Deluzio (D-Pa.) has a new ad linking his military experience in the Navy to his job in Congress. Deluzio highlights his efforts to fight for freedom from “greedy corporations” and “radical abortion bans.”
The DCCC also has a new ad targeting GOP candidate Ryan Mackenzie in Pennsylvania’s 7th District over his “radical” views on abortion. Mackenzie is running against Democratic Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.).
In Arizona, the DCCC has a similar digital and TV ad up hitting Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) on his “extreme” stance on abortion. It will air in the Phoenix market starting today.
Schweikert is running against Amish Shah, a doctor who has campaigned on protecting abortion access. An amendment to the Arizona state constitution codifying abortion rights will also be on the ballot in November.
