LANSING (Mar. 2, 2020) — Since November 2019, Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg has spent nearly $11.8 million to run a reported 50 different ads more than 22,000 times. Every 2016 presidential candidate during the primary, Democrat and Republican, spent a combined $10.6 million ([link removed]) on TV advertising in Michigan.

And despite his unprecedented spending, dark money groups together have still outspent candidates on television advertising since the beginning of 2019. Priorities USA Action, the largest Democratic super PAC, recently purchased $6.4 million of airtime to run anti-Trump ads through July on Michigan television.
Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, the two leading progressives in the race, began running ads in Michigan late last week. Warren has spent about $606,000 to air two different ads, while Sanders has spent nearly $312,000.
