Young voters in Wisconsin and Arizona are being flooded with “pro-Gaza” ads attacking Democratic U.S. Senate candidates for supporting Israel in the campaign’s final week. What the voters may not know: the ads are likely paid for and created by Republican operatives.

On October 15th, someone named Gary Backus filed a statement of organization with the FEC for a new Super PAC called “The Progressive Century Project.” The timing is noteworthy: new PACs that raise and spend after the 16th of October do not have to file reports disclosing their donors until after Election Day.

On October 19th, the group filed its first expenditure report for over $113,718 on text messaging and direct mail that supports the Green Party candidate for U.S Senate in Arizona and opposes Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego. Since then, they have filed two more similar expenditure reports (see here and here), bringing their current total spend in the Arizona race to $342,154.

Voters have already seen mailers landing in their mailboxes, which urge them to support the Green Party candidate, Eduardo Quintana. “End the genocide!” “Shrink our bloated military budget!” several of the mailers read.
