The super PAC aligned with Speaker Paul Ryan is spending millions to save a Republican House seat in danger of falling to the Democrats in an April special election.
Congressional Leadership Fund is making an initial investment of $2.2 million in Georgia's suburban Atlanta 6th district, held until recently by President Trump's health secretary, Tom Price.
Polling suggests that the consensus Democratic candidate, former congressional staffer Jon Ossoff, could top 50 percent in the April 18 jungle primary and win the seat outright.
To blunt Ossoff's momentum and counter his strong financial and field support from liberal activists and national Democrats, CLF on Friday launched a comprehensive campaign to keep the district Republican.
The super PAC was scheduled to go on television with a new ad, and inaugurate a field program aimed at knocking on 75,000 doors to motivate Republican turnout.
