The investment is part of a larger $16 million airtime spend across 49 districts, which also adds new funding for Arizona's 2nd and South Carolina's 1st. The DCCC is backing candidate Kristina Knickerbocker after an internal Oct. 12-13 poll of likely voters showed her leading Turner 47% to 44%, with Thomas McMasters at 4%. This targeting follows Turner's 2024 victory by more than 18 points, though Knickerbocker remains off the DCCC's primary list of seats likely to flip from red to blue.
