The committees pumped more than $50 million worth of TV ads, mailers and other advocacy efforts into legislative and statewide contests on this week’s ballot, according to state filings through Wednesday. The campaign for state superintendent of public instruction featured the most independent expenditures, $15.8 million, followed by Orange County’s 34th Senate District ($4.9 million); Sacramento’s 6th Senate District ($3.7 million); and the East Bay’s 16th Assembly District ($2.9 million).
The candidates in those races who had the most help from outside groups – spending that either supported them or criticized their opponent – won one-half of the time. The success rate was higher among the other 16 contests (see chart below) with the most outside spending.
