Planned Parenthood’s political super PAC is running a digital advertising campaign costing more than $600,000 against U.S. Sen. Susan Collins in Maine’s Senate race. The group, Planned Parenthood Votes, rolls out its first ads as Democrats seek to win the seat this fall, according to reporting from multiple outlets.
The ads criticize Collins’ record on abortion and link the campaign to her vote to confirm Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh. The Washington Post reports the spending is the largest investment Planned Parenthood Votes makes in any state this election cycle, while The Hill describes the ad buy as part of Democrats’ broader effort to flip the Maine Senate seat. Both accounts agree on the ad campaign’s scale, target, and focus, framing it as an early signal of outside spending in the race.
