WASHINGTON—Republican leaders may have been caught off guard by the weakness of their candidate in the Kansas special election, but they won’t let it happen again in Montana, where another House election will be held May 25.
Congressional Leadership Fund, the House GOP leadership’s super PAC, will spend “at least $1 million” on advertising and a paid get-out-the-vote effort, said CLF executive director Corry Bliss. Mr. Bliss said he is dispatching an aide from Washington to oversee the effort.
In addition, the National Republican Congressional Committee’s advertising arm is buying $148,000 in television airtime for a flight of campaign ads starting Friday, said Ben Burger, a consultant for the group, escalating the air war over filling the state’s only House seat. The GOP group is also spending $125,000 for digital ads starting Thursday.
