CO-03: Mitsch Bush reserves $1.8 million in fall TV ads for 3rd CD race against Boebert
Democrat Diane Mitsch Bush is booking more than $1.8 million in fall television advertising across every market in the sprawling 3rd Congressional District, where the former state lawmaker is facing Republican Lauren Boebert.
The race for the open seat has drawn national attention since Boebert toppled five-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott Tipton in the GOP primary.
Mitsch Bush's TV buy, announced Wednesday by her campaign, amounts to twice what she spent on paid media in the 2018 election, when she lost a bid to unseat Tipton, and is the largest ad reservation placed so far this year by a Colorado congressional candidate.
Im excited to share more about my vision for Colorados 3rd District in the closing months of this campaign, Mitsch Bush said in a statement.
Added Mitsch Bush: I have heard from Coloradans across this district about the need to lower skyrocketing health care costs, protect people with pre-existing conditions, defend our public lands, and create an economy that works for everyone.
A spokeswoman for Boebert's campaign, which has been on the air with modest ad buys since late July, dismissed the significance of the Democrat's announcement.
