The Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) and its affiliated political action committees will commit $2 million in canvassing and paid advertising efforts to help Republicans win off-cycle elections in New Jersey and Virginia this cycle, National Review has learned. The early get-out-the-vote spending commitment — which will include direct mail, digital ads, and texting — is part of an initiative by the GOP spending group to help Republicans win governorships and other down-ballot races in each blue-leaning state this fall.

“In 2023, the RSLC made a strategic investment in a comprehensive early and absentee vote program in both Virginia and New Jersey that resulted in significant victories for down-ballot Republicans in 2020 Biden-won districts and record-breaking turnout in others,” RSLC President Edith Jorge-Tuñón said in a statement to NR.
