A GOP super-PAC believes that House Republicans will grow their majority in November, spending $16 million on advertisements to flip battleground seats blue while holding onto the red.

The Congressional Leadership Fund announced on Tuesday that it would spend at least $13,000,000 of its fall ad budget to go “on offense.” Its president, Dan Conston promised “a dogfight” during the final two month before Election Day.

In May, the super PAC of the House GOP had reserved $141 million for its first round ad placements.

Punchbowl News was the first to report on the second batch of purchases.

Rep. Susan Wild, D-Pa., faces the most difficult battle. CLF has funneled $3.8 million into attacking the three-term congresswoman on the airwaves of the Philadelphia market. This includes much of Wild’s 7th District, which includes the Lehigh Valley, Allentown, and Easton.

The nonpartisan Cook Political Report has rated the race as a toss up between Wild and Republican state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.

CLF is contributing at least $2.3million to the race in Virginia’s 7th Congressional District, after Rep. Abigail Spanberger retired from the House of Representatives in order to run for Governor in 2025.

Cook rates the contest between Republican Army veteran Derrick Anderson and Democratic opponent Eugene Vindman as “leaning Democrat”.

Vindman, along with his twin brother Alexander, played a key role in the impeachment process of Donald Trump, former president, for a call he placed to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.

A minimum of $2 million will be set aside to run ads in Detroit and Lansing, the capital city of Michigan for an open seat race in Michigan’s Wolverine State 7th District. The two candidates are former state legislators Curtis Hertel (Democrat) and Tom Barrett (Republican).

Michigan’s 8th Congressional District, which includes the former Democratic state senator Kristen McDonald Rivet who will be competing with former Trump Administration official Paul Junge, will also receive $1.8 million worth of ad purchases.

Rep. Dan Kildee, D-Mich., announced his retirement after more than 10 years in Washington DC.

According to the Cook Political Report both Michigan races are considered tossups. Three other important contests will also receive a CLF infusion of cash.

These include Ohio’s ninth district, represented by Democrat Marcy Captur, who spent $1.1 million on ads in the Toledo market. Pennsylvania’s eighth district, represented by Democrat Matt Cartwright with $180,000 in Scranton ads. Colorado’s eighth district, held Democrat Yadira Caravéo with $150,000 placed in Denver ads.

CLF will also spend $1.5 million on ads in the Omaha market to target Democrat Tony Vargas, in his rematch in 2020 against GOP Rep. Don Bacon who has held Nebraska’s 2nd district since 2017.

A further $300,000 is allocated to Des Moines, Iowa ad placements in order to defend Rep. Zach Nunn, R-Iowa, and $275,000 goes towards bolstering Marc Molinaro, a freshman Republican upstate, as he fights against Democrat Josh Riley, for control of New York’s 19th District.

In Norfolk, Va. more than $680,000 will be split between the defense of Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans, in Virginia’s second district, and offensive action against Democratic Rep. Don Davis, in North Carolina’s first district.

CLF spokesperson added that additional ad placements would be announced over the next few weeks.

Republicans currently hold 220 seats in the House of Representatives, while Democrats have 211, and four seats are vacant.
