VoteVets spends $1M on VA, NJ governor ads
VoteVets, a veterans‑oriented political group, is investing $1 million in aggressive advertising across two competitive gubernatorial contests—splitting the money into $500,000 ad campaigns backing Democratic nominees Rep. Mikie Sherrill in New Jersey and Rep. Abigail Spanberger in Virginia—less than 30 days before Election Day. The ads feature veterans criticizing GOP nominees Jack Ciattarelli and Winsome Earle‑Sears on economic issues; the group also recently transferred nearly $80,000 to the New Jersey Democratic Party and launched a $100,000 cable buy tied to Virginia's 64th state House race.
