It’s no secret that the gambling industry has spent millions of dollars attempting to influence Alabama elections. This money is not just numbers on a page, it translates into political mail, TV commercials, and online ads. While it is difficult to precisely quantify where the gambling industry has spent each dollar, We do have glimpses into this spending on various levels.
It has been well documented that the so called “American Conservative Fund” is actually a front group for the gambling industry. Using money from entities such as DraftKings, this organization has spent millions in Alabama’s elections over the past few months.
According to the Google Ads Transparency Center, “The American Conservative Fund” has spent over half a million dollars on YouTube ads alone. Many of these ads are tailored towards a conservative audience, even though the so-called “American Conservative Fund” is anything but conservative. We encourage our readers to “consider the source” as they see these ads across our state. Take a note of who the gambling industry supports in their ads and who they attack in their ads. Do your own research and support the candidate that is the most in line with your values. Check out the link below to see the details on these ads.
