Are outside PACs paying for the ads?
This is from the blog of a Christian conservative in Iowa:
Iowa is one of several battleground states in the Democrat efforts to retake the U.S. Senate majority. Ernst has trailed her Democratic opponent, Theresa Greenfield, by two to three points according to three of the last four polls, well within the margin of error. The latest poll by WHO-TV 13 is showing Greenfield up by 12 points is an outlier. Most political analysts consider this race to be a toss-up.
According to Open Secrets, tens of millions of dollars, over $83 million, has been spent by outside groups in Iowas U.S. Senate race. The pro-abortion groups have spent millions of dollars opposing Ernst. NARAL has spent over $150,000, Planned Parenthood Votes Super PAC over $13,000, and Women Vote!, a pro-abortion Super PAC, spent over $5 million.
Greenfields largest direct contributor is Emilys List, a group that supports female, pro-abortion candidates, has contributed $248,711 as of June 30.
