House Democrats target Midwestern GOP seats
he House Democrats main campaign arm has reserved almost $1.5 million worth of television air time meant to target three Midwestern Republicans whose seats are suddenly up for grabs in a tumultuous political climate.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) on Tuesday laid down advertising reservations that will take aim at Reps. Rodney Davis (R-Ill.), Ann Wagner (R-Mo.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.), three incumbents who represent districts President Trump won in 2016.
The committee will also reserve $716,000 in airtime in Oklahoma City, where freshman Rep. Kendra Horn (D-Okla.) is seeking a second term after notching one of the most surprising wins of the 2018 midterm elections.
n total, the DCCC is reserving almost $2.2 million in airtime in the four districts. The new money is on top of almost $24 million the party has already spread across 21 media markets throughout the country.
Democrats are likely to spend most of their money defending the freshmen who handed them the majority in 2018, in districts ranging from Charleston and Atlanta to southern New Mexico and rural parts of Iowa and Maine.
