NRCC Cancels Remaining Media in Michigan’s 9th District

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) has cancelled its last planned week of ad buys in Michigan’s 9th congressional district, according to the Associated Press.

The NRCC had previously cancelled almost $320,000 in spending on behalf of Rep. Joe Knollenberg (R-Mich.) between October 14-27, while still preserving a planned $314,000 in spending for the last week before the election.

The NRCC has now cancelled that last buy, spokeswoman Karen Hanretty confirmed to the AP, amidst redirections of independent expenditures in districts nationwide.

The pullout comes amidst DCCC polls showing Knollenberg trailing Democratic opponent Gary Peters in the race. A Grove Insight poll conducted for the DCCC released Thursday showed Peters with 46 percent to Knollenberg’s 36 percent.
