Conor Lamb's Senate campaign is getting a super PAC boost -- featuring James Carville
A super PAC has been set up to boost U.S. Rep. Conor Lamb’s campaign for Senate — and if it raises as much money as it plans, it could help him close a financial gap with Lt. Gov. John Fetterman in the Democratic primary.
Messages sent to prospective donors, obtained by The Inquirer, set a goal of spending $8 million on TV ads and other paid media ahead of the Pennsylvania primary election in May. Some big Pennsylvania Democratic donors got emails this week from famed political strategist James Carville introducing them to the group, Penn Progress, and asking them to support it.
“I wanted to reach out to you about the single most important Senate race in the country this November which is being held in Pennsylvania,” Mr. Carville wrote in one email. “There is no way that Democrats can expand our majority in the Senate if we do not pick up the Pennsylvania Senate seat and the best person to win that race is my good friend Conor Lamb. ... Conor has a tough primary, and I was hoping you could help him by supporting Penn Progress, the independent effort set up to help ensure Conor is our nominee.”
In a memo Penn Progress sent prospective donors last fall, the group described itself as “veteran campaign strategists with thirty years of electoral experience in Pennsylvania and beyond.”
