Senate Majority PAC to spend $10.2M on Pappas’ ads

(The Center Square) – A political action committee aligned with Senate Democrats is planning to spend $10.2 million on TV ads in New Hampshire backing U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas’s bid for the Senate ahead of the midterms.

The Senate Majority PAC announced Monday that it will be focusing its campaign spending in eight key states, including New Hampshire, as it seeks to win back control of Congress from Republicans in the Nov. 5 election. The PAC said the two Republicans in the Senate race – former U.S. Sens. John E. Sununu and Scott Brown – are “locked in a bitter, drawn-out primary.”

“Granite Staters are facing rising costs, higher insurance premiums, and are struggling to afford care for their families – all while Sununu and Scott are at one another’s throats,” Lauren French of the Senate Majority PAC said in a statement. “Chris Pappas is focused on the issues that matter to New Hampshire voters, and it’s why he’ll come out ahead come November.”
