Republicans Have Pumped Money Into Special Elections

“Major national Republican and Democratic party groups have spent at least $48.5 million on seven special elections since last April,” NBC News reports.

“The lion’s share of that spending — which includes independent and coordinated expenditures for each of the races — came from Republicans, with a total of $37 million spent in total by the Republican National Committee, the NRCC, the NRSC and the two major super PACs affiliated with the House and Senate GOP (the Congressional Leadership Fund and the Senate Leadership Fund).”
