Unknown sponsors behind Senate campaign ads
Like more than a third of all ads in U.S. Senate races this year, it’s impossible to tell.
A study by the campaign finance watchdog Center for Responsive Politics and Wesleyan University’s Media Project finds that a type of political group that does not have to disclose its donors is responsible for $80 million in ads nationally.
That’s 35.8 percent of all advertising in Senate races, according to the study out this week.
Without knowing who is paying, voters are robbed of “an important clue” that allows them “to take a claim made in an ad with a grain of salt,” said Travis Ridout, a Washington State University political science professor who works with the Wesleyan University project.
