Five Days to Elections, Conservative Super PAC Makes Final Push with New Ads

iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — There are five more days until Election Day, and as candidates make their last push to gain the support of voters, political groups are running more adds in key districts.

The American Future Fund is out with three new ads in Georgia’s 12th district and Michigan’s 6th district. The conservative super PAC is also running ads for the Oregon Senate race, where Sen. Jeff Merkley is battling it out against his GOP challenger Monica Wehby.

Ads directing voter attention to the contest between Merkley and Wehby are peculiar because the race — rated “likely Democrat by ABC News — is no longer on the radars of most as the top and tight 11 races become more apparent.  AFF, however, is pouring $200,000 into the spot going after Merkley.

The ad, titled “Stopwatch,” attacks him for not doing enough in Washington with a narrator asking the viewer, “Can you think of one thing he’s accomplished?” It doesn’t mention Wehby, but says at the end “Jeff Merkley’s time is up.”
