Defending Our Values PAC Pours $15 Million Into 2 GOP House Races

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 21

Summary

  • $15 million in newly disclosed spending will back Rhett Marques in Alabama's 2nd District and Scott Singer in Florida's 25th, marking Defending Our Values PAC's first campaign investments.
  • The super PAC says the races are crucial to preserving the GOP's slim House majority and electing conservatives who would push tougher Big Tech oversight, stronger online child protections and pro-U.S. AI policy against China.
  • Both candidates first must survive crowded Republican primaries—Marques in an Aug. 11 special primary after redistricting, Singer in Florida's Aug. 18 contest—before likely competitive general elections.
  • The spending is aimed at boosting both primary prospects and November name recognition; Marques could face Rep. Shomari Figures, while Singer would likely take on Rep. Jared Moskowitz if nominated.
