"Fueling the growth in political ads this cycle is the presidential race, which has so far seen record primary spend on the Republican side.

More than $100 million was spent through September on Republican primary races, faster than any previous cycle, per political AdImpact, an advertising intelligence firm."

    Better: no ads. Give them a website to publish their resume. Make buying airtime illegal.

      I don’t mind things like flyers. They let me know where local candidates stand and I wouldn’t know to go to every website. But endless TV and internet ads are way too far.

        A single ballotpedia like website would be my preference, but that raises censorship questions.
