The Saving Arizona super PAC just spent $3.7 million to bolster Republican Blake Masters during the final stretch of his U.S. Senate race against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), according to a report.
Wednesday, Saving Arizona purchased $3.7 million for advertisements that will target Kelly, while another $35,000 is going towards ads to boost Masters in the neck-and-neck contest. A poll released from the left-wing think tank Data for Progress on Wednesday showed the candidates tied., Zachary Henry, a spokesman for Masters’ campaign, said that the “ads will further expose Mark Kelly as a fraud and a hypocrite.
Billionaire Peter Thiel, a mentor to Masters, contributed $15,000,000 to Saving Arizona during the GOP primary, and the PAC spent big to help secure Masters the nomination. While CNN’s Gabby Orr reported Tuesday that Thiel wasa home-stretch investment to aid Masters, “it is unclear if this new ad buy was funded with any of Thiel’s money,” Steinbeck wrote.
