Dems light up airwaves in key secretary of state races
Source: Politico
The Democratic Association of Secretaries of State, the party’s main campaign arm for races for states’ chief election officers, is launching its largest-ever TV ad campaign, booking $11 million worth of TV ads across three critical battleground states.
The spending from DASS — the first salvo in a general election spending program that will more than double in size before Nov. 8 — highlights the increasing amount of money and attention flowing into the secretary of state contests following former President Donald Trump’s attempts to overturn the 2020 election. Since then, he and his allies have turned their attention to these once-obscure contests as they look to change the rules ahead of the 2024 election.
The DASS-affiliated PAC, Safe Accessible Fair Elections, on Tuesday launched TV ads in Michigan, Minnesota and Nevada. Details of the buy were shared first with POLITICO.
Incumbent Democratic secretaries — Michigan’s Jocelyn Benson and Minnesota’s Steve Simon — are facing off in the first two states against challengers that have cast doubt on the 2020 election.
