The Republican-friendly U.S. Chamber of Commerce is going up on the air with ads targeting key Senate races as well as 17 House races, reports the AP. The ads are part of a multi-million ad campaign that will be up on air for the next 10 days at least in Florida, Missouri, Hawaii and Ohio targeting Senate races. The Chamber is focused on House races in New York, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Rhode Island, Florida and Georgia.
From the AP:
“We’re going to play in every corner of this country,” Rob Engstrom, the national political director for the chamber, said Tuesday in an interview.
The chamber declined to say how much it will spend in this round of advertising. Ad buys earlier this year in eight Senate races and 12 House races was estimated at $10 million.

“We’re running a sustained campaign between now and November,” Engstrom said. “This is now the largest campaign in the history of the U.S. Chamber.”
