MI-SEN: Mystery group spending $5M to boost Stevens in Michigan Senate primary

[RandySF]

A mystery dark money group on Friday reserved an estimated $5.3 million in media markets around Michigan to air advertisements touting Senate Democratic hopeful Haley Stevens' work to "hold ICE accountable."

"Haley Stevens in Michigan is calling for new federal oversight of immigration enforcement," the ad narrator says, mentioning a bill she introduced in Congress to create an independent special prosecutor to investigate alleged misconduct by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The spot uses a clip of the four-term congresswoman from Birmingham saying, "This is about accountability for an agency that hasn't had any."

The group that paid for the airtime reservations and for the new ad is the Center for Democratic Priorities, which has a short paper trail, having registered in late October at an address in Dover, Delaware. It doesn't appear to have filed yet with the Federal Election Commission or the Internal Revenue Service as of Saturday morning.

1. I'm not sure that's the best thing to run on. I smell a double cross

She should be running on affordability. It's all about the economy.

This just gets back to the idea that everyday people that are paying more for food and gas are interested in what you can do for them. Not what you will do to fight ice.
