Early voting showing higher-than-normal Democratic turnout in the predominantly Republican district suggests that Republicans have reason to be worried. But now, as the Wichita Eagle reports, the National Republican Congressional Committee is injecting $92,000 into the deep-red district in the campaign’s final days. The Washington-based campaign arm for House Republicans bought $67,111 worth of television ads, according to a local news channel’s disclosure form obtained by the Eagle. The NRCC is spending an additional $25,000 on digital advertising, according to a Federal Election Commission disclosure. Half of those funds are earmarked to boost Ron Estes, the Republican candidate, and the other half will target Democrat James Thompson.
