Senate Democrats Set Aside $7 Million to Back Sherrod Brown

From AP via WTOL-TV: 

A Senate Democratic campaign organization has set aside $7 million, intending to use it to help Sherrod Brown win a seat in the Senate. The money will pay for TV ads aimed at persuading voters to elect the Democrat.

Brown is trying to take the job of Senator Mike DeWine, a Republican, in what is expected to be a close race.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee plans to pour a total of $25 million into TV advertising -- with the bulk of the money going toward toppling Republican incumbents in Ohio, Missouri, and Pennsylvania.

Democrats haven't purchased the ads yet, and plans could change with political circumstances. But where the money is going provides insight into the party's strategy for taking the Senate back from the Republicans on Election Day.
