Florida's 14th House Race Tops $10 Million as Weekly Ad Spending Jumps $5.7 Million

Summary
$5.7 million in new ads hit Florida's 14th Congressional District between Sept. 30 and Oct. 6, lifting total spending to $10 million in one of the week's sharpest House-race surges.
The spike reflects the district's toss-up status, with Washington Post analysis of AdImpact data showing some of the biggest late ad increases concentrated in competitive House contests.
Republicans have led spending in Florida's 14th at $6.3 million versus Democrats' $3.8 million, and Trump-aligned No Going Back PAC is the race's top advertiser at $3.4 million backing Mike Beltran.
Florida's 25th District, also rated a toss-up, climbed from $8.4 million to $14 million, while Arizona's 1st, New York's 3rd and Ohio's 7th also posted large gains.
The spending wave extended beyond House races, with Senate contests in Kansas and New Hampshire — plus Florida's noncompetitive Senate race — among the biggest ad-spending gainers this week.
