Democrats even with GOP in Florida Senate spending since primary

In May, Republicans were outspending Democrats over the airwaves by nearly a 50-to-1 margin in Florida’s Senate race – thanks in large part to Republican Gov. Rick Scott’s millions.

Last month, the margin fell to a 3-to-1 margin.

And now? Ad spending in Florida’s super-competitive Senate race is now even, with Democrats having spent $5.8 million in TV and radio ads since the August 28 primary, versus $5.7 million for the Republicans.

That Democratic cavalry is coming in the hopes of boosting Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson after the party was outspent $36 million to $12 million during the primary season.

The top ad spenders in the first few weeks of the general election:

Majority Forward (Dem group): $3.7 million

Rick Scott campaign (GOP): $3.0 million

New Republican PAC (GOP): $2.7 million

Bill Nelson campaign (Dem): $2.0 million

Priorities USA Action (Dem): $112,000
