Google has added a section on political advertising to its
Transparency Report efforts, offering details on things such as top
advertisers and keywords, and spending by state and congressional
district.
Following up on earlier moves such as adding clear "paid for by"
disclosures, the Alphabet Inc. (GOOG, GOOGL) unit said Wednesday
that "we designed this report for anyone interested in
transparency." Information will be updated weekly.
In a list of top advertisers in the current U.S. federal
election cycle from May 31st onward, the top spender was Trump Make
America Great Again Committee, followed by Planned Parenthood
Federation of America Inc. and Rick Scott for Florida.
