Some Lawmakers Using Office Budgets for Facebook Ads

“Five House Democrats in battleground districts have spent at least five figures from their office accounts on Facebook ads over the last week,” Politico reports.

“The spending comes from each office’s ‘franking’ budget, which each House office receives for communication with constituents. The five members who spent at least $10,000 — Democratic Reps. Matt Cartwright, Josh Gottheimer, Andy Kim, Dina Titus and Henry Cuellar — are all in at least nominally competitive districts, and are the only members to crack five figures in that same time period.”
