Mitch McConnell super PAC opens two-front war in Alabama with ads targeting Roy Moore

The super PAC affiliated with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Tuesday opened a two-front war in Alabama, expanding its multi-million advertising campaign against Rep. Mo Brooks to encompass conservative folk hero Roy Moore.

Senate Leadership Fund backs appointed GOP Sen. Luther Strange in the Aug. 15 special Senate election, and with two weeks to go in the race is investing more than $435,000 on a new attack ad to take out Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. The spot is running statewide except in the Huntsville media market, where the group will continue to run ads hitting Brooks, whose Fifth Congressional district encompasses Northern Alabama.
