Not Seeing Dem Ads in DC Area

I live in PG County, which is in the DC media market. With the exception of Trone and Van Hollen, we're not seeing ANY ads for Democrats in the DC media market! Not Moore, Lierman, Brown, Ivey, or Raskin. The airtime has been taken up by the nasty fights in Virginia. But we're not seeing squat for Maryland. We usually watch NBC4, so they may be airing on other stations.

I guess this market is so reliably Democratic that they're not spending the money in the expensive DC media market.

NBC4 is inundated with Spanberger vs. Vega and Wexton vs. Hung Cao.

I should add that I watch TV over the air, so I get a different mix of channels than you might. I've seen ads for West Virginia politicians on channel 25, WDVM-TV.

(on ch. 9/CBS, the only local channel I ever watch). I have seen lots of commercials for VA candidates. But our counties are so blue, I'm not really surprised not to be seeing commercials for our candidates.

Cable news is against us so why give them all the money. Use print for Election ads. At least they investigate things.
