Democrats to spend $1 million in final push for Michelle Nunn



Democrats to spend $1 million in final push for Michelle Nunn
By Jim Galloway

Democrats in Washington think enough of Michelle Nunn’s U.S. Senate bid to toss in an extra $1 million, reports Politico.com:

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee has pumped in $700,000 for the ads to start airing Wednesday for two weeks in Atlanta, the state’s biggest media market, and is in the process of snapping up another $300,000, sources [said].

The National Republican Senatorial Committee authorized its independent expenditure arm on Friday to spend an additional $1.45 million in Georgia.

The most recent Democratic internal polls show Democrat Michelle Nunn, a former nonprofit executive, leading Perdue and close to 50 percent, the threshold she would need to reach to avoid a Jan. 6 runoff, according to people who have reviewed the polling.
