CD 27 by far the costliest U.S. House race in South Florida

Far more money has gone to broadcast buys in Congressional District 27 than any other district in the area. In fact, the race for CD 27 is the third-costliest congressional contest in Florida this cycle.

Campaigns and political committees have spent more than $3.1 million in the district, which spans part of Miami-Dade. That includes $1.7 million in airtime buys by Republican Congressional Leadership Fund to help U.S. Rep. María Elvira Salazar to win re-election Nov. 8.

The campaign of her Democratic opponent, Annette Taddeo, says that “last-minute scramble” of spending proves Taddeo is “on track to flip this district.”
