House Majority PAC, SEIU Make Fall TV Ad Reservations

House Majority PAC and the Service Employees International Union announced today that they are partnering in their effort to aide House Democratic candidates and will reserve $19.7 million in television advertising across 38 media markets.

The reach of that buy is “at least 47 competitive Congressional districts,” according to a press release from the Democratic-aligned House Majority PAC.

Of the nearly $20 million reserved, House Majority PAC put up $16 million and SEIU plans to spend $3.7 million.

Some of the buys are obvious as to which districts are being targeted, such as in Tucson where House Majority PAC made a heavy investment on behalf of now-Rep. Ron Barber (D). Other reservations, such as in the Phoenix and Minneapolis markets, include multiple races that are widely handicapped as competitive.
