While most advertisers have taken a pause from spending due to the global health pandemic, we have seen a sharp uptick in Senate spending.

## Senate Spending Analysis

Three issue groups placed multi-million-dollar pre-booking buys in hotly contested Senate races. Senate Leadership Fund (SLF) has placed pre-booking broadcast buys in Colorado, Maine, Iowa, and North Carolina in support of at-risk Republican incumbent candidates. In total, Senate Leadership Fund has pre-booked a total of **$35.6M** on broadcast today. Their buy is set to run from 9/8-11/2 and so far, they have spent **$3.3M **in Colorado, **$9M** in Iowa, **$6.4M **in the hotly contested ME race, and **$17M** in North Carolina.

While SLF has been targeting multiples races nationwide, Defend Arizona and Keep Kentucky Great have been focused on the Senate races in their respective states. Defend Arizona, a pro-McSally group, has placed **$7.7M** on pre-booked broadcast spending today. Much like SLF’s pre-booked spending, Defend Arizona is going up on air from 9/8-11/2. The Pro-McConnell group, Keep Kentucky Great has also placed pre-booking spending from 9/8-11/2 and has spent a total of **$9M** so far.
