Bloomberg BNA:

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has spent almost $2 million this month on television ads supporting Republicans or opposing Democrats in four key Senate races across the country and announced July 21 that it is jumping into to two more Senate races with major ad buys.

Campaign spending reports filed recently with the Federal Election Commission showed that the Chamber intends to be a major factor in next year’s congressional elections, as it has in past races, even as public attention is drawn to the early stages of the 2016 presidential campaign.
