The ‘super PAC to end all super PACs’ to spend $1M for Dem. Rick Weiland in South Dakota

The "super PAC to end all super PACs" is headed to South Dakota.

Mayday PAC, a group that is trying to curb the influence of money in politics, is launching a $1 million effort to support underdog Democrat Rick Weiland in the South Dakota Senate race with four weeks to go until the midterm elections, the group announced Tuesday morning.

It's a sizable investment in an inexpensive state which is considered to be among Senate Republicans' three best pickup opportunities. Polls show former governor Mike Rounds (R) leading the open seat contest comfortably. Larry Pressler, a former Republican senator running as an independent, is also in the race.

Mayday PAC is kicking off its effort with a new ad touting Weiland as crusader against "big money."
