Majority PAC, the super PAC backing Democratic Senate candidates, is going up with three new ads Tuesday to attack Republican Senate hopefuls in Virginia, Wisconsin and North Dakota.

In Virginia, the super PAC is attacking former Senator George Allen as a big spender, going after him for votes he took the last time he was in the Senate. The ad begins airing Tuesday night in Virginia. 

In Wisconsin, a new ad attacks the two Republican Senate candidates, Tommy Thompson and Eric Hovde, as Washington insiders beholden to special interests. Lobbyist Tommy Thompson and hedge fund banker Eric Hovde have both made millions as Washington insiders, so it’s no surprise that they’re desperate to get back to Washington,” Majority PAC strategist J.B. Poersch said in a statement. That ad goes up Tuesday morning in Milwaukee, Green Bay, and Wausau media markets. The six-figure buy is the group’s first ad in Wisconsin this cycle.  

In North Dakota, the group attacks Rep. Rick Berg’s votes to “essentially end Medicare” by voting twice for Rep. Paul Ryan’s budget plan.
