Republican super PAC funds group targeting Sherrod Brown in Ohio
Campaign finance filings reveal that Enough Promises Ohio, a group that has spent at least $2 million in the Ohio Senate race, is being funded by the Republican super PAC Conservative Americans PAC. The group has utilized ads and mailers to criticize Democratic former Senator Sherrod Brown, specifically using messaging designed to undercut his support among Black voters.
Enough Promises Ohio has promoted independent candidate Greg Levy, whom the group describes as the “real progressive.” Levy has denied any connection to the group and condemned the efforts as an “attempted deception of voters.”
The spending occurs during a highly competitive race where Brown is attempting to unseat Republican Senator Jon Husted. While Conservative Americans PAC provided $2.5 million to the group between October 1 and October 14, a spokesperson for Husted’s campaign stated they had no involvement with Enough Promises Ohio.
