AP reports $183 million in Republican anti-trans campaign advertising
Federal
Republicans spent an estimated $183 million on anti-trans television advertising through October 25, generating about 217,000 airings nationwide, AP reports, citing AdImpact. The October 28 report documents a large campaign investment in targeting trans people as the midterms approach. These are attributed advertising estimates, not evidence of electoral effectiveness or measured harm to trans communities. The report describes political messaging rather than a new law or change in care access.
