“Thanks
to Speaker Paul Ryan and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy’s leadership in
Congress, CLF continues to break fundraising records, allowing us to be
more aggressive in adding new races and increasing our previous buys,”
said Corry Bliss, CLF Executive Director. “These efforts ensure that CLF
will have the resources needed to prevent Republican members of
Congress from being outspent this fall. In California alone, CLF has
reserved nearly $10 million in general election advertising. This
additional media reservation, along with our House-focused national
field program, will help CLF accomplish our mission of protecting the
House Republican majority this fall.” - press release
-- Congressional Leadership Fund, 2018
It's
worth noting that much of the CLF funding comes from corporate donors,
the primary beneficiaries of the $1.5 trillion tax break passed by the
GOP earlier this year.
