House Majority PAC has reserved $468,000 in hopes of knocking them out and helping Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter. Republicans have held off on reserving time in Florida where Reps. Vern Buchanan and David Rivera face ethical questions. House Majority PAC and SEIU have reserved $330,000 in the Tampa-St. Petersburg area as it focuses on Buchanan and $571,000 in Miami in trying to oust Rivera.
