Majority PAC is a super-PAC trying to keep the Democrats’ Senate majority. Virginia’s race is among a handful that will decide whether control of the Senate will remain in Democrats’ hands.

The new buy comes on top of an earlier $1.6 million ad campaign against Allen from the two groups announced in August. The new spot is running on cable and broadcast in the Norfolk, Richmond and Charlottesville media markets, according to LCV.



LCV has spent in the $10 million range across a number of races thus far in 2012.
