CA Sen: US Chamber’s $3.2 Mil Ad Buy for Fiorina Paid for with Anonymous, Possibly Foreign Funds
You have to read down to the 13th paragraph in Maeve Reston’s story on funding in the California U.S. Senate race — “Boxer, Fiorina nearly even in fundraising” — before you get to this:
Most of the outside spending in the California Senate race has been on Fiorina’s behalf. A group affiliated with Karl Rove spent $1 million on a weeklong ad buy in August. And the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had spent more than $3.2 million on ads through the end of September criticizing Boxer’s record.
It’s unclear whether the $3.2 million in anonymously donated funds the Chamber spent on Fiorina’s campaign includes the $1,173,625 reported by Campaign Money Watch.
