Pro-Ala Stanford Super PAC Withdraws TV Ads Amid Philadelphia Congressional Race Challenges
A Washington-based super PAC, 314 Action Fund, has withdrawn its television advertising support for Ala Stanford, a Democratic candidate in Philadelphia's 3rd Congressional District race. The super PAC had previously invested $3.5 million in TV ads to support Stanford, a physician known for her work during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, recent polling indicated a decline in Stanford's voter support, prompting the super PAC to cease TV ad spending. Despite this, the PAC continues to support Stanford through mail advertising. Stanford's campaign has faced setbacks, including a failure to disclose income from her nonprofit and missing a key debate. The race, which will likely determine the successor to retiring U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans, is highly competitive, with State Rep. Chris Rabb and State Sen. Sharif Street also vying for the seat.
