Club for Growth Spends $5 Million in Key House Races, Focusing on Crime and Policing

In an effort to maintain and potentially expand their majority in the House of Representatives, the Club for Growth and its affiliated fundraising group, Win It Back PAC, are investing $5 million in six critical races across the country. With a focus on crime and policing, the ads target Democrats in these districts, accusing them of supporting policies that prioritize criminals over law-abiding families.

The Club for Growth, a conservative group, and its associated fundraising group, Win It Back PAC, have launched a $5 million ad campaign targeting six crucial House races across the country. The ads, which will be widely distributed through satellite, streaming, and mail, aim to influence the outcome of the November 5 midterm elections.

The campaign focuses heavily on crime and policing, echoing an issue that was central to the Republican victory in the 2022 midterm elections. The ads portray the Democratic candidates in these districts as soft on crime, accusing them of supporting policies that prioritize criminals over law-abiding families.

The ad buy includes investments in vulnerable Republican incumbents, such as Reps. David Schweikert of Arizona and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania. It also targets frontline Democrats like Reps. Marcy Kaptur of Ohio, Gabriel Vasquez of New Mexico, and Mary Peltola of Alaska.

The heavy spending in Democratic-leaning districts suggests that GOP groups are increasingly optimistic about their chances of not only holding their current majority but potentially expanding it. This optimism comes amidst growing donor enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign on the Democratic side.

Earlier this year, Rep. Richard Hudson, the head of the House GOP campaign arm, the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC), expressed concerns about the surging fundraising of Democrats. He urged his colleagues to step up their fundraising efforts to counter this surge.

Hudson reported a positive response from House Republicans to his warning, with many pledging to contribute more money to the committee. He expressed confidence in their readiness for the upcoming fight.
