STORY EXCERPTS:
The conservative Club for Growth is wading into Florida’s wildest GOP primary with a massive $1.1 million ad buy to crush one of its biggest foes: former Rep. Chris Collins.
Why it matters: It’s the Club’s own ABC strategy: “Anybody but Chris.”
- In a conservative U.S. House district with 10 Republican candidates, including two former members of Congress from other states, the ads won’t guarantee that Collins goes down in the Aug. 18 primary.
- But they certainly will make his return to Congress much more challenging.
Zoom in: The 30-second Club ad is scheduled to run on broadcast, Fox News, satellite and streaming services, starting Tuesday, saturating the airwaves in the primary’s final three weeks.

Zoom out: The Club has a long memory.
- Collins ran afoul of the Club for Growth when he served in Congress, earning a low rating on its scorecard for votes that it considered insufficiently conservative.
- “He’s a 49% on our scorecard, the bottom of the barrel in terms of voting record,” a Club operative told Axios.
