Republicans cutting ad spending in Wisconsin

[DonViejo]

The National Republican Senatorial Committee is canceling more than $1.1 million in television advertising reservations in Wisconsin, a likely sign the party believes Sen. Ron Johnson (R) trails by too much of a margin to win reelection.

The NRSC has already spent a limited amount in hopes of reversing Johnson’s fortunes. But the party’s independent expenditure wing will drop its scheduled reservations beginning Oct. 17, according to a source watching the advertising market.

In a statement, NRSC spokeswoman Andrea Bozek confirmed the cancelations. She said the committee is still spending more than $100,000 in advertising they are able to coordinate with the campaign.

“We are proud to support Ron Johnson in several ways,” Bozek said in an email. “We are confident that he will have the necessary resources to highlight his manufacturing experience which is in stark contrast with Sen. Russ Feingold.”
