The Michigan Democratic Party has reserved a substantial $10.5 million for ad reservations to support state House candidates in the upcoming November elections.
The party has allocated $2.5 million each for Grand Rapids, Lansing, and Detroit, while Marquette will receive $1 million. Additionally, $700,000 will be spent on ads in Traverse City and the South Bend, Indiana market, and $900,000 in Flint.
This ad reservation is in addition to the nearly $8 million that Michigan House Democrats have already spent on reservations in the Detroit media market.
