Lehigh Valley is being deluged by pro-Republican TV ads - Zero Democratic TV ads

During the last ten days or so, I've seen numerous TV ads featuring Mike Johnson telling eastern PA residents how the Republicans are helping the middle class. Also, many TV ads telling "the facts about Medicaid", and suggesting folks call Ryan MacKenzie (R) to thank him for "strengthening Medicaid". I don't even watch much TV, but these ads seem to be on all day and night on Philly and local stations. I wish the Democrats would run even a few counter ads, but I've seen none.

Is your part of PA being shown these TV ads?

have been pro-Democrats and anti-Republicans. I've seen none of the ads you describe.

They must be very worried about this seat flipping back to Dems.

Here in western PA, I haven't seen anything like that although there really aren't any especially vulnerable seats for either party out here.

It's ony po;itical ads have been for the jundicial retention election and the large majority have been "vote yes". Heck, a few "vote no" signs only appeared at a big intersection two dsys ago while "vote yes" signs have been out for weeks. It's so quiet you''d never even know Pittsburgh is electing a new mayor and some Allegheny County council seats. I;ve seen zero ads for either O'Connor, the D, or Moreno, the R.
