US Chamber of Commerce makes midterm moves

The US Chamber of Commerce is ramping up its fall advertising efforts, launching a new $250,000 issue advocacy ad in Iowa, according to information shared with Semafor. This follows two previous $500,000 ad buys from the business group, which has traditionally aligned with the Republican Party. The new ad endorses Iowa Republican Senate candidate Ashley Hinson, praising her support for Trump's tax cut law, opposition to surprise medical billing, and the "Save Our Bacon" bill, which aims to block state-based livestock standards.

The ad, which will run for two weeks with a focus on the western part of the state, highlights the need to protect Iowa from higher costs. Hinson is currently in a close race against state Representative Josh Turek.
