- 绝不回头政治行动委员会斥资670万美元在俄亥俄州投放广告
- 联邦选举委员会记录显示，布朗筹款3860万美元，远超赫斯特德的1430万美元
- 广告追踪机构AdImpact称，俄亥俄州竞选广告总支出达2.98亿美元
纽约9月18日电（路透社）——过去一周，共和党团体已在俄亥俄州投入1400万美元用于广告宣传，以支持参议员乔恩·赫斯特德。近期民调显示，这位共和党候选人在这场可能影响美国参议院控制权的竞选中落后于民主党人谢罗德·布朗。
此次广告支出激增由与美国总统唐纳德·特朗普、亿万富翁埃隆·马斯克、科赫政治网络以及参议院共和党领导层有关联的超级政治行动委员会推动，竞选活动将于11月3日举行。获胜者将完成J·D·万斯2025年就任副总统后空出的剩余两年任期。

政治广告追踪机构AdImpact表示，赫斯特德与布朗的这场竞选目前已吸引2.98亿美元广告支出，超过本选举周期内任何其他参议院竞选，有望成为2026年中期选举中耗资最高的广告大战。
尽管赫斯特德初期在民调中领先，但在最新民调中他已落后布朗3至5个百分点。根据联邦选举委员会记录，曾在2025年前连任三届美国参议员的布朗筹款规模也远超赫斯特德，共筹得3860万美元，而这位共和党候选人仅筹得1430万美元。
这场竞选对两党都至关重要，因为尽管俄亥俄州在近期联邦选举中倾向共和党，但在全州范围内的竞选中仍竞争激烈。

截至周三提交的联邦选举委员会文件显示，参议院领导基金及其他五个与共和党结盟的超级政治行动委员会——这些委员会可筹集无限额资金——贡献了过去一周1400万美元的广告投放总额。
联邦选举委员会数据显示，与特朗普的MAGA Inc.超级政治行动委员会关系密切的“绝不回头政治行动委员会”在9月10日至11日期间，已在电视、数字媒体和直邮广告上投入670万美元，成为此次广告攻势的主力。据AdImpact统计，该委员会已在中期选举广告上花费超9200万美元，其中包括在俄亥俄州的1340万美元支出。
该委员会以及马斯克的美国政治行动委员会和科赫公司支持的“繁荣美国行动”所投放的广告，围绕布朗在跨性别权利和银行救助问题上的立场攻击他，并试图将他描绘成与美国民主社会主义者结盟的人物。
赫斯特德的发言人拒绝置评。布朗的竞选经理帕特里克·艾森豪尔表示，“大型企业和亿万富翁斥资数千万美元挽救乔恩·赫斯特德摇摇欲坠的竞选活动，这并不令人意外。”
近期几周，共和党超级政治行动委员会在俄亥俄州针对布朗的每周广告支出已增至三倍。
“速成”政治行动委员会
部分最新加入广告投放的团体可能要到选举日前不久才会披露其捐赠者，但他们与特朗普支持者存在关联。追踪竞选资金的非营利组织“公开秘密”的研究主任布伦丹·格拉文将这些团体称为“速成”政治行动委员会，由于它们最近才完成注册，因此要到10月中旬才需要披露捐赠者身份。
俄亥俄飞行者政治行动委员会和七叶树政治行动委员会这两个此类团体在过去一周合计花费超300万美元。这两个团体的财务主管均与2016年竞选期间由时任竞选经理保罗·马纳福特和亿万富翁共和党捐赠者汤姆·巴拉克创立的亲特朗普超级政治行动委员会相同。

据AdImpact统计，2024年布朗与共和党人伯尼·莫雷诺之间的参议院竞选以4.86亿美元的广告支出创下非总统竞选活动的纪录。

- Ohio race ad spending reaches $298 million, AdImpact says
NEW YORK, Sept 18 (Reuters) – Republican groups have poured $14 million into advertising in Ohio over the past week to bolster Senator Jon Husted, as recent polls show the Republican trailing Democrat Sherrod Brown in a race that could help determine control of the US Senate.
The spending surge is driven by super PACs linked to President Donald Trump, billionaire Elon Musk, the Koch political network and Senate Republican leadership ahead of the November 3 special election. The winner will serve out the remaining two years of the term vacated by JD Vance when he became vice president in 2025.

AdImpact, a political advertising tracking firm, said the Husted-Brown contest has attracted $298 million in advertising spending so far, more than any other Senate race this cycle, and could become the costliest advertising battle of the 2026 midterms.
Despite an early lead in polling, Husted now trails Brown by 3 to 5 percentage points in the most recent surveys. Brown, who served three terms in the US Senate until 2025, has also significantly outraised Husted, bringing in $38.6 million compared with the Republican’s $14.3 million, according to Federal Election Commission records.
The race is crucial for both Republicans and Democrats because, while Ohio has leaned Republican in recent federal elections, it remains fiercely contested in statewide races.

The Senate Leadership Fund and five other Republican-aligned super PACs, which can raise unlimited sums of money, accounted for the $14 million advertising blitz over the past week, Federal Election Commission filings through Wednesday showed.
No Going Back PAC, a group closely tied to Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC, has led the advertising drive with $6.7 million on television, digital and mail ads over September 10-11, according to FEC data. It has spent more than $92 million on midterm advertising, including $13.4 million in Ohio, according to AdImpact.
Ads from that group as well as Musk’s America PAC and Americans for Prosperity Action, backed by Koch Inc., attacked Brown over issues such as his positions on transgender rights and bank bailouts and sought to portray him as aligned with the Democratic Socialists of America.
A spokesperson for Husted declined to comment. Brown’s campaign manager Patrick Eisenhauer said it was “no surprise that giant corporations and billionaires are spending tens of millions of dollars to save Jon Husted’s flailing campaign.”
The Republican super PACs have tripled their weekly spending against Brown in Ohio in recent weeks.
‘POP-UP’ PACS
Some of the newest spenders may not disclose their donors until shortly before Election Day but have links to Trump supporters. Research Director Brendan Glavin of OpenSecrets, a nonprofit that tracks campaign finance, described them as “pop-up” PACs that, because of their recent registration dates, will not have to identify donors until mid-October.
Two such groups, Ohio Flyer PAC and Buckeyes PAC, spent more than $3 million combined over the past week. Both share a treasurer with a pro-Trump super PAC in the 2016 campaign founded by then-campaign manager Paul Manafort and billionaire Republican donor Tom Barrack.

The US Senate race between Brown and Republican Bernie Moreno in 2024 set a record for non-presidential contests with $486 million in advertising spending, according to AdImpact.
