Democrats have an ad spending advantage in this year's biggest elections

Democrats have something important in common across the three highest-profile elections coming in November: an edge on ad spending.

Money doesn’t buy everything in campaigns — or else the history books would look very different. But the data, according to ad-tracking firm AdImpact, tells a story about the state of each race.

California’s redistricting ballot measure: Democratic-aligned groups have spent more than $66 million asking Californians to vote “Yes” on the measure to approve a new congressional map that could net the party up to five additional House seats.

The top ads pan what they call President Donald Trump’s “unprecedented power grab to steal congressional seats and rig the 2026 election” by pushing for new maps in Texas, Missouri and elsewhere.
