Minnick Spends $745K On TV, Radio

Rep. Walt Minnick is using the airwaves heavily in his effort to win re-election in Idaho’s 1st Congressional District. New campaign finance reports show that Minnick, a Democrat, has spent more than $745,000 on buying TV and radio commercials. Minnick’s media buy is larger than the total amount raised by his Republican challenger, state Rep. Raul Labrador of Eagle. Labrador said he’s raised more than $525,000 since entering the race last December. Minnick’s campaign has raised more than four times that amount, $2.4 million/Brad Iverson-Long, Idaho Reporter, More here.

Question: Has Walt Minnick's TV/radio commercial buy been a good investment?
