Across 24 stations with viewers in Iowa, candidates vying to replace retiring U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin and the groups backing them spent $13.9 million on more than 26,000 commercials during the five-week period from Sept. 11 to Oct. 15, according to a new joint analysis of public records by the Omaha World-Herald, the Des Moines Register and six other newspapers.
