Ad Watch

U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Madison, has launched her own TV ad paid for by a joint fundraising committee after the FEC deadlocked on a Dem request for guidance seeking to cut off Republican candidates from continuing to run such spots.

The spot comes on the heels of several ads from Hovde and those backing him knocking Baldwin, D-Madison, on transgender issues.

The narrator in the ad says you can tell a politician isn’t from around here when they call for a ban on beer sales. The narrator says Hovde criticized alcohol sales, saying booze should only be available to people who brew or distill it themselves.

GOP-aligned Senate Leadership Fund is up with another ad as part of its buy in the Wisconsin race hitting Dem U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin on transgender issues.

The NRSC and Hovde are up with a new TV ad in which the businessman says he opposes a national abortion ban.

3rd CD Dem candidate Rebecca Cooke in a new ad knocks incumbent U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s temperament and says the Prairie du Chien Republican supports a “total abortion ban.”

The 30-second ad promotes Wied’s “problem-solving mentality” and mission to secure the southern border, protect Wisconsin seniors and stand up for Wisconsin farmers if elected.

The 30-second ad touts her commitment to protecting reproductive rights if elected, and knocks her opponent Tony Wied, a businessman who she says would “let states ban abortion, even in cases of rape or incest.”

A Delaware-based group called Your Community PAC is airing a new TV ad saying U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden “thinks he’s better than us.” 

Strategic Majority PAC is airing a TV ad knocking Dem 3rd CD candidate Rebecca Cooke’s background as a political strategist, calling her a “slick political operative who pocketed almost 200 grand electing Democrat extremists.”

U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden’s campaign is airing a TV ad featuring law enforcement knocking his Dem opponent as a “political operative” who’s worked for “defund the police radicals.”

Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin says it’s launched a six-figure buy targeting GOP U.S. Senate candidate Eric Hovde over his past comments opposing abortion.
