Their initial ad buy, from July 29 until August 11, was for $225,000, and now that's been extended through August 22 for another $116,000.

The NRCC's latest ad continues their assault on Democrat Kate Marshall over her time as state treasurer, seeking to tie the state's economic troubles to her in the run-up to the September 13 vote.
The 30-second spot repeats over and over a clip of Marshall saying, "I've taken this state through this fiscal crisis - steered it with a steady hand," while the screen points voters to the state's two credit downgrades, rising foreclosure rate and Marshall's support for the health care bill. The ad closes simply with a photo of Marshall with President Obama.
"The only place Kate Marshall steered the Nevada economy is straight off a cliff," said NRCC spokesman Tyler Houlton. "While Kate Marshall campaigns on her failed record as the state's top financial officer, Nevada working families and small businesses suffer from the highest unemployment and home foreclosure rates in America."
Both Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Bill Clinton have sent fundraising pleas on Marshall's behalf this week, while House Speaker John Boehner will headline a fundraiser for GOP nominee Mark Amodei this Friday.
Both Marshall and Amodei are set to meet for their first debate tonight at 10 p.m. ET. You canwatch live here, and check Hotline On Call on Thursday for our full recap of the debate.
