Political Ad Spending Expected to Hit Nearly $11 Billion in 2026
— Campaigns & Elections, September 2025

The anticipated surge in ad spending will be seen across the board, from down-ballot races to the marquee House and Senate contests that will ultimately determine which party controls Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s second term in office, AdImpact predicts.

The numbers are staggering, John.

Experts are projecting that spending in elections this year could hit nearly $11 billion across the country.

The House majority is on the line. The Senate majority is on the line. This year’s contests will determine what we’re able to accomplish over the next two years.

Can we count on your support today as we lay the foundation to take back the majority?

We’re not only preparing to defend Cory’s Senate seat in New Jersey, we’re planning Cory’s travel schedule to battleground states this year — the more support we receive, the more we can ensure every dollar gets put to work to win back the Senate majority.

Democrats are defending thirteen seats in the 2026 midterms — including two seats in Michigan and Georgia, states won by Donald Trump in 2024. There’s too much at stake to fall short.

So please, if you have room to spare in your budget this week, pitch in $10 right now to help us strengthen our grassroots foundation.
