The National Republican Congressional Committee plans to run TV ads in the 4th Congressional District this fall, several national media outlets are reporting, but money challenges and a wealth of races to target make it unlikely the committee will spend at its previous levels in the district."It's clear that Betsy Markey is a one-term wonder and therefore, the NRCC will take advantage of every opportunity available to remind voters that they're facing higher debt, higher taxes and higher unemployment thanks to Markey's failed policies," spokeswoman Joanna Burgos said.
The NRCC spent $1.8 million in 2006 to help incumbent Marilyn Musgrave fend off a challenge from Democrat Angie Paccione and Reform Party candidate Eric Eidsness, and another $1.15 million in the 2008 race against Markey.
This year, the DCCC has built a huge money advantage over its Republican counterpart. The DCCC had $34 million in the bank at the end of June, compared to $17 million for the NRCC. – More -
