Senate Republicans Fail in Fundraising Effort
Sen. John Ensign (R-NV), the head of the Senate Republicans’ campaign effort, said his colleagues “have not heeded his calls for contributions to contested races, threatening advertising on behalf of GOP candidates,” CQ Politics reports.
Said Ensign: “It has become clear that my call has gone largely unanswered. I have no control over the timing or content of (independent) ads, but I have had no choice but to decrease the total budget for our (independent expenditures) unit.
