Tea Party-aligned super PAC FreedomWorks for America released 11 new ads over the weekend targeting closely contested U.S. Senate races in Florida, Arizona, Ohio, Indiana and Virginia:

• “The American Dream” supports the U.S. Senate run of Rep. Connie Mack, R-Fla., who is challenging Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson;
• “Failing Florida” opposes Nelson;
• “Handpicked by Obama” opposes Democrat Richard Carmona, who served as President George W. Bush’s surgeon general and is now running for U.S. Senate in Arizona against Rep. Jeff Flake, a Republican;
• “A Proven Leader” supports Flake;
• “Dividing Ohio” and “Politics before Ohio” opposes Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, who faces Republican Josh Mandel, the state’s treasurer;
• “Take Back America” supports Mandel;
• “Don’t Trust His Record” opposes Rep. Joe Donnelly, D-Ind., who is running for U.S. Senate against Indiana State Treasurer Richard Mourdock;
• “A Good Hoosier” supports Mourdock, who won a contested GOP primary earlier this year;
• “George Allen Stands Strong for Freedom” supports the former Republican senator’s run for U.S. Senate in Virginia;
• “You Didn’t Build That” criticizes Allen’s Democratic opponent, former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine.

FreedomWorks for America is the super PAC component of the former Republican House Majority Leader Dick Armey’s FreedomWorks network. The super PAC supports economically conservative candidates and has helped tea party-favored candidates triumph over establishment Republican candidates in several senatorial primaries, notably Indiana and Texas, where former state Solicitor General Ted Cruz bested Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.

The five U.S. Senate races targeted over the weekend are particularly competitive. Florida and Ohio lean Democrat and both have Democratic incumbents. Arizona and Indiana, both open seats, lean Republican. Virginia, also an open seat, is a tossup, according to The New York Times.

The U.S. Senate contests in Virginia and Ohio have drawn more outside money than almost any other Senate race, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

Records show that more than one-third of contributions to FreedomWorks for America have come from its affiliated nonprofit, FreedomWorks Inc., which means the source of the money is unknown. (Nonprofits are generally not required to publicly report their donors.)

Ryan Hecker, the super PAC’s treasurer and legal counsel, said the ads are just online for now, and the group’s initial online ad buy totals about $200,000.

The super PAC has made $3.1 million in independent campaign expenditures so far, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

FreedomWorks was also on the ground on Saturday in Ohio, where its National FreePAC Tour featured Mandel, conservative radio host Glenn Beck and FreedomWorks president Matt Kibbe. The event included grassroots training on phone banking, yard sign “blitzes” and door-to-door outreach. The tour will stop in Florida in October.

In other outside spending news:

• The Congressional Leadership Fund, a conservative super PAC backed by super donors Sheldon and Miriam Adelson and Bob Perry, reported its first independent expenditure — $558,000 in television ads opposing the re-election of Rep.

• AFSCME PEOPLE, the PAC of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, reported spending $541,000 on “Didn’t Take Long,” an ad opposing Renacci in Ohio. AFSCME also spent $360,000 from its union treasury on “Gamble” and $422,000 on “A Lot to Say,” both of which oppose Rep. Denny Rehberg, R-Mont., who is running for U.S. Senate against Democratic incumbent Jon Tester.
