Michigan group engaged in Indiana's redistricting war
A nonprofit organization linked to Michigan House Speaker Matt Hall ran social media ads in November and December encouraging Republicans in Indiana to adopt a congressional district map more favorable to the GOP.
The group named Building a Better Economy, which doesn't have to identify its donors and uses a Lansing address, sponsored ads on Facebook that encouraged people to contact multiple Indiana senators and to tell them to "stand with President Trump."
Republican President Donald Trump had unsuccessfully pressured the Indiana Senate to approve a map that could have helped the GOP keep control of the U.S. House this fall. The Indiana Senate voted down the mid-decade redistricting proposal on Dec. 11.
Building a Better Economy sponsored 18 different Facebook ads in early December, targeting individual Senate Republicans, and spent about $7,000 on the ads, according to Facebook's ad archive.
