Center For Individual Freedom, Conservative Group, Spends Big Against House Dems
Posted in: Today's ChiliWASHINGTON — A conservative organization leading efforts to beat back disclosure laws in national politics is set to buy nearly $2 million in television advertising against House Democrats, a Democratic source told The Huffington Post.
The Center for Individual Freedom has reserved $1.9 million in as many as 11 media markets, according to the Democrat, who tracks media purchases. The new spending nearly matches the organization’s expenditure in the 2010 elections.
It’s not immediately clear which lawmakers will be targeted. The source said details of the purchase suggest that House candidates Christie Vilsack of Iowa, John Oceguera of Nevada, Annie Kuster of New Hampshire, and and Julian Schreibman of New York, may be targets, along with Rep. Ben Chandler (D-Ky.), Rep. Dan Maffei (D-N.Y.), and Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah).
