Too many things to do, too little time. Too many Independent Expenditures flowing in Arizona, not enough time to investigate them as we'd like. Here's a listing, if you think any of them warrant some additional checking, let me know! (Also, remember to enter our contest for a gift card by logging the ads you see and hear, and the mailers you receive.)
--National Rifle Association has been drawing a bead on Arizona lately. Today, they filed that they spent $5,000 ($5,080.45) on phone calls for Rep. Jeff Flake's Senate campaign. (First NRA expenditure for Flake.) They (actually, a different NRA entity) also sent out postcards to support Martha McSally (CD2) and Vernon Parker (CD9) - about $1,700 each. All three are Republicans.
--Club For Growth dropped more than $300,000 to increase its TV advertising in favor of Flake and against Richard Carmona. That brings their Flake total to a staggering $1.65 million, and their close ties have been discussed here before.
--The National Republican Senatorial Committee ("NRSC") put another $1.4 million into its advertising effort against Carmona. This brings their total on the race to $3.4 Million.
--The NRSC's counterpart, the Democratic Senatoria Campaign Committee ("DSCC") plunked down another $100,000 on advertising, bringing its total in the race to nearly $2.6 Million.
--Making their 1st appearance in Arizona, the Ending Spending Action Fund - which has been active in the presidential race - spent $250,000 in advertising time today (and another $13,000 producing the spot). They are opposing Carmona in the Senatorial race.
(We'll try to get to more of these later.)
