2022 Midterms

The Cobalt Advocates Independent Expenditure Committee has launched its first ever campaign for the 2022 midterm elections, using billboards, digital advertising, and direct mail to advocate for candidates who support abortion rights and go after Republican leadership in Congress for supporting a national abortion ban. 

The billboard, which can be viewed below, can be seen in nine different locations around the state.

Paid for Cobalt Independent Expenditure Committee; Registered Agent: Karen Middleton. Not authorized by any candidate or candidates committee.
