ICYMI: Congressional Leadership Fund Reserves Millions in TV Ads for GOP Candidate Rob Bresnahan


Yesterday, the Congressional Leadership Fund, a political action committee that has endorsed Rob Bresnahan and is dedicated to winning a Republican Majority in the House of Representatives, announced a whopping $141 million reservation in the first wave of TV advertising for the November election. $5.6 million of that $141 million is reserved for the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton media market, marking their largest investment in Pennsylvania this election cycle and the 8th Congressional District ever.  

For context, CLF’s full spend on former GOP candidate Jim Bognet’s race in 2020 was $0; in 2022, it was $2.4 million, marking nearly a 150% increase for their 2024 investment.

Speaker Mike Johnson headlined a fundraiser on Monday, CLF announced a $5.6 million ad buy on Wednesday, and Politics PA reported that Matt Cartwright is the number one most vulnerable incumbent in Pennsylvania’s Congressional Delegation on Wednesday. This wraps up a great week for the Bresnahan campaign.

In response to this news, Rob Bresnahan added the following comment: “I’m excited to have an ally in my corner that will remind the voters of the 8th Congressional District that Matt Cartwright has lost his way in Washington DC. Matt has made our country and our communities less safe by voting against our law enforcement, voting against a secure border, and trillions in reckless spending that sent inflation soaring and hurting local families.” – Rob Bresnahan

In response to this news, Campaign Manager Derek Rockey added: “This news means that Rob Bresnahan will have all the financial backing and airwave support he needs to defeat Matt Cartwright. The fact that CLF is increasing their ad spend in 2024 over double their 2022 spend in PA08 proves their confidence in Rob Bresnahan’s candidacy and path to victory.” – Derek Rockey
