The NRCC posted another $44K in expenditures tonight on the race to replace Roger Wicker in Mississippi. The filing includes: $27,000 on direct mail, $4400 on yet another poll, $12,000 on media production, and under $1000 on phone banks. The new expenditures bring the NRCC’s total tab in this R+10 district to $1,031,442.
The DCCC posted $34,000 of their own expenditures here, including $17,000 on direct mail, $12,000 on media production, and $5500 on field organizing and phonebanking. The DCCC has now spent $1,423,302 on this race.
If you’d like to help Democrat Travis Childers hustle out the vote here next week, you know what to do.
Special election: 5/13.
I know I’ve been promising this for days (here and elsewhere), but I’ve got the first of two DCCC-Childers TV ads uploaded and posted over at The Thorn Papers.
I’ll have another one shortly, and in my opinion, that one is the more effective of the two, though both serve their purposes.
$1.03 million is what, 15% of the NRCC’s total cash on hand. Or close to it. Sweet.
I’d think this part of MS would be extremely cheap to advertise in. Could this race be the most expensive race every on a per voter basis?
If you estimate high turnout of 100,000 voters the DCCC+NRCC alone have spent $25/per voter already. And that number doesn’t even include the candidates expenditures.
