The super PAC will spend $500,000 on TV ads and $160,000 on digital ads and direct mail backing for Edwards, who’s running to recapture the seat she relinquished in 2016 to run for Senate. (Democratic Rep. Anthony G. Brown, who succeeded her, is running for Maryland attorney general.)
The spending comes after the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s super PAC, United Democracy Project, poured nearly $1.9 million in attacks on Edwards, according to campaign finance records. AIPAC has endorsed her primary opponent, former Prince George’s County State’s Attorney Glenn Ivey.
