End Citizens United (ECU), a leading national anti-corruption organization, today announced an additional seven-figure investment in ads, direct mail, and field efforts supporting campaigns across the country this week – bringing its total investments on advertising and field programs to over $3 million in just the past month.

Specifically, this campaign includes:

Digital ads in PA-07, PA-08, WI-01, MI-10, and KY-06
Contributions toward field campaigns in Iowa, Texas, and Alaska.

ECU previously announced ad campaigns in the Maine and Michigan Senate races and MT-01, direct mail in IA-02 and CA-22, and contributions toward field campaigns in Ohio, North Carolina, and Colorado.

“With just a few weeks left in the election cycle, we’re doing everything we can to fill gaps in critical races where Democrats are making anti-corruption reform a top priority,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “We’re excited to get the message out and make sure voters know where the candidates in these races stand.”
