Chris McKenna reports at The Fray that a U.S. House Republican Super Political Action Committee is reserving a million dollars for advertisements to support Rep. John Faso (R-Kinderhook) in the Congressional election this fall. The Congressional Leadership Fund is buying ad time for Faso and nine other Republican incumbents this year. “Thanks to Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s leadership in Congress, CLF continues to break fundraising records, allowing us to be more aggressive in adding new races and increasing our previous buys,” said Corry Bliss, executive director of the Super PAC said in a press release on June 11. “These efforts ensure that CLF will have the resources needed to prevent Republican members of Congress from being outspent this fall.” Seven Democrats are facing off in a June 26 primary election to face Faso in November. Among the Democrats, Antonio Delgado had more money in his coffers than Faso as of March 31, with Pat Ryan and Brian Flynn slightly behind Faso money on hand. Read the full story at The Fray.
