CUNA's political action committee, CULAC, made its first independent expenditure of the fall campaign, recently spending $250,000 on an ad for Rep. Brad Ashford (D-Neb.), considered one of the most vulnerable House Democrats.
PACs may make such contributions on behalf of a candidate as long as the spending is done independent of the candidate's campaign. CULAC is identified as the sponsor of the 30-second ad.
Ashford, a freshman Democrat, is a member of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee's Frontline Program, which is designed to assist the most vulnerable candidates. He defeated Republican Rep. Lee Terry in 2014, one of only two Democrats who unseated incumbent Republicans.
