Young Guns Super PAC Spends $10M on 27 Republican House Races

The YG Action Fund, the super PAC run by a former top staffer to House Majority Eric Cantor, said it spent more than $10 million this election cycle supporting 27 Republican candidates.

"The YG Action Fund is the first niche super PAC in that we have a unique and targeted business model that narrows our playing field to next generation conservative candidates running primarily in Democratic districts," said senior adviser Brad Dayspring. "Our belief is that a strong offense is a key component of protecting and expanding the conservative Republican majority in the House, which we look forward to achieving today."
