The Senate Leadership Fund, a top Republican super PAC, is launching a $9 million ad campaign in Michigan, where GOP candidate John James is trying to unseat incumbent Sen. Gary Peters, a Democrat.
The super PAC, aligned with the Republican Senate leadership, will begin airing spots on TV and radio this weekend, Roll Call reported.
“The only thing Gary Peters has accomplished over his years in Washington is to keep Michigan’s U.S. Senate seat warm for his successor," said SLF President Steven Law.
"That person is going to be John James — an incredibly impressive advocate for Michigan families and jobs who is taking the fight to Peters for leaving Michiganders hanging in a pandemic."
The Hill noted Peters is the only Senate Democrat, other than Sen. Doug Jones of Alabama, running for reelection in a state where President Donald Trump won in 2016.
"Mitch McConnell’s allies are spending over $16 million to prop up James because they want another vote to gut preexisting conditions coverage, undermine a woman’s right to choose, and obstruct Great Lakes funding," Peters campaign spokeswoman Vanessa Valdivia told Roll Call.
