A spokesperson for the group told The Hill that the digital ad would target voters who themselves are identified as health workers in the coming weeks as Georgia heads for elections for both US Senate seats.
The PAC’s investment of more than $ 100,000 in ad buy-back is because Democratic groups are being spent en masse by Republicans in the state so far, according to an analysis by Politico. CPM, a left-wing group representing health professionals, has opposed cuts to Medicare and attempts to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, while calling for further action on prescription drug prices and the approval of a single payer “Medicare for All” health system , according to the group’s website.
An Emerson College poll published last week found that Loeffler and Perdue had slight advantages over their Democratic opponents, Rev. Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff.
