That Maryland race should be interesting! Thanks for highlighting it

FWIW, the family rewatch of “Justified” on Hulu was full of David Trone arguing that only he can beat Larry Hogan for… reasons. I assume this reflects the campaign’s purchases on cable providers rather than streamers? Top ads on Hulu were Trone, Progressive and that poor “bent carrot” medicine.

Yeah lots of campaigns are advertising on these streaming services like Hulu, smart TV's etc. Most of those platforms are not very transparent about providing data on political ads. Roku sometimes updates its archive of political advertising here https://roku.sharepoint.com/sites/PoliticalTransparency/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx?id=%2Fsites%2FPoliticalTransparency%2FShared%20Documents%2FPolitical%20Transparency%20Reports&p=true&ga=1

Thx! Saw first Alsobrooks/anti-Trone ad tonight, charging that (presumably, pre-political) Trone & affiliated cos donated to Republican campaigns to ban abortion, etc. Also on Hulu/streamers.
