Trump-Aligned Super PACs Commit $150 Million to Election Advertising

Why it matters locally: While New Hampshire is not directly mentioned, the funding commitment by these Super PACs could influence competitive U.S. House and Senate races nationwide, including potential impact on New Hampshire's own federal elections and the broader political landscape for its citizens.

Two political action committees, aligned with former President Donald Trump, have allocated more than $150 million for advertising in the current election cycle. This financial commitment primarily targets U.S. House and Senate races. Campaign strategists have identified these races as competitive, even in areas previously considered reliably Republican. The advertising expenditures aim to support candidates in these contests. Texas Senate nominee Ken Paxton, the state's attorney general, addressed the need for financial assistance this month at the Republican convention in Dallas. He acknowledged the challenging political landscape facing candidates.
