From Columbus Dispatch:
The politicians running statewide have dropped more than $17.48 million in campaign cash to get their faces on TV screens across Ohio.
Outside groups, labor unions and political parties have spent an additional $7.6 million.
The Ohio Newspaper Organization, a consortium of the state’s eight largest newspapers, reviewed political advertising records kept by 23 broadcast television stations in five media markets: Akron/Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton and Youngstown. Those figures cover purchases made since the May primary season and TV time reserved through November.
The numbers keep climbing. Even as reporters checked the files, more advertising contracts were being signed.
