A Political Action Committee (PAC) known as The American Worker is getting ready to target a number of Congressional Districts across the United States in support of Democratic candidates running for Congress.

The 15 districts being targeted by the Super PAC are spread throughout 11 states, which include:

Arizona
California
Colorado
Florida
Illinois
New Mexico
Nevada
Ohio
Pennsylvania
Texas
Wisconsin

The Super PAC has said that it “will spend as much as $1 million per race on advertising, polling, media, phones, mail, research and new media,” with much of the money coming from progressive Latinos and organized laborers.”

The American Worker’s goal is to raise as much as $15 million this cycle, with its first ad campaign beginning this weekend with ads being run on San Antonio radio stations against Rep. Francisco Canseco (R-Texas) . The goal of the ads is to point out that like many GOP politicians, Canseco’s middle class agenda leaves something to be desired. His record on taxes and unemployment issues will also be highlighted.
