It's an Election, Not an Auction

from Facts About PACs Podcast · host National Association of Business Political Action Committees

Five Senate primaries this cycle. Five candidates with an enormous money advantage. Five losses. Dr. Casey Burgat of George Washington University joins Micaela Isler and Adam Belmar to work out what campaign money actually buys, and where it stops working. Casey’s Substack piece “So Much for Buying Elections” is the starting point, but the conversation turns practical fast: if the late advertising blitz has the worst return, what does that say about the PAC dollar written early, off a relationship, before anyone knows the race is competitive?Crash Course with Casey Burgathttps://www.caseyburgat.com/
