Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell political action committee announced it placed a $7.4 million ad buy in the Alaska media market to bolster the candidacy of Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Murkowski is challenged by Kelly Tshibaka, who has the backing of former President Donald Trump. Tshibaka is being far outspent by Murkowski and political groups supporting Alaska’s senior senator.
The rest of the fund’s money is being sent in general elections in six other states. Over $141 million was committed by the PAC on Monday. Although the $7.4 million is the smallest amount being committed to a race by the SLF, it’s a big amount for the Alaska media market, which is one of the smallest media markets in the country.
