Billions of dollars are being spent on the midterm elections in 2022 — more than $9.3 billion — up from $7.1 billion spent four years ago.
Money is being spent on TV, radio, and digital ads for the U.S. House, Senate, gubernatorial, and local races. Political parties, candidates, political action committees, and outside spenders have already poured $4.8 billion into the races.
