Paul Launches Ads in Kansas, Iowa, North Carolina and Beyond

He's not even on the ballot this fall, but Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is beginning news TV ads to help Republicans in key elections across the country.

The prospective Presidential candidate is praising Kansas Senator Pat Roberts for voting against sending billions of dollars to "countries that hate us" in an advertising campaign set to begin running across Kansas Tuesday, according to an announcement released by Paul's political action committee, RandPac. A spokesman said the group is spending six figures on the ads, which reference the deadly attack on the U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, without mentioning it by name.

Paul will campaign in Kansas on Tuesday.

At the same time, Paul's organization is launching a series of on-line ads aimed at influencing Senate contests in Kentucky, New Hampshire, Iowa and North Carolina.

The advertising push comes as Paul sends increasing signals he will enter the 2016 Presidential race. He's been among the most active potential Republican White House hopefuls this fall. A spokesman says he's visited more than 30 states this election season, including multiple trips to Iowa and New Hampshire, which will gold the first two contests in the GOP's next Presidential primary.
