**Ohio took 40% of the notice.** Two of the five Ohio lines — $4,284,778.34 broadcast and $4,245,000.00
digital — account for $8.53M of the $8.55M, making this the committee's single largest race commitment of
the cycle at the time of filing.
## Why it matters
**The Democratic Senate map went up all at once.** Rather than rolling out race by race, this committee
placed its whole general-election map on one expenditure date across seven states — and then did it again
seven days later at a larger scale. Read together, the two notices total **$44,905,489.59** from one
committee in nine days.
**94% negative.** Only $1,182,876.00 of the $21.2M supports a Democrat; the rest attacks Republicans. The
October notice moved that ratio only slightly, to 88% negative.
> [!warning] The aggregate column is not a race total
> Per FEC Back-Sweep Standard **Rule 4c**, the Schedule E aggregate column is filer-dependent and must not be
> published as a race or committee figure. On this filing the Michigan rows carry **$9,980,918.05** on both
> the support and the oppose side — a per-race running figure, not a per-candidate one. The highest aggregate
> on the notice is $19,947,946.47 (Ohio). Derive election-to-date figures by summing filings and cite the
> file numbers.
