WASHINGTON — Congressional Leadership Fund, the super PAC endorsed by Leader Kevin McCarthy and all of House Republican leadership, today announced its first wave of ad reservations for the 2022 election cycle. CLF’s initial reserves total $125 million in ad time for television and streaming platforms. The buy spans 48 media markets for ads potentially in as many as 46 Congressional Districts from coast to coast. CLF’s first reserves are overwhelmingly on offense: $111 million of the total is booked in Democrat-held seats and just $14 million in Republican-held ones.
CLF’s first round ad reserves are its largest to date and are 3x larger than the first round of ad reservations placed in 2020, when CLF booked $43 million. Additional reservations will be made as the cycle continues to develop.

“There is palpable energy for retiring Speaker Pelosi and winning a House Majority behind Leader Kevin McCarthy, and this is a testament to that. Our reserves are a significant down payment on the firepower we’ll need to win and elect tremendous GOP candidates across the country,” said CLF President Dan Conston. “We’re pressing deep into Democrat territory to elect the largest possible Majority this fall.”
