UPDATE: Congressional Leadership Fund makes $1 million ad buy against Schneider

Morning.

We've just been tipped that the Congressional Leadership Fund - that's the SuperPAC of American Action Network - will be reserving $1 million in broadcast television and digital ads in the Chicago area market for the remainder of the election cycle, opposing Deerfield Democrat Brad Schneider in the 10th Congressional District race against Kenilworth Republican Bob Dold.

But wait, a Democratic source watching the buys also pointed out to us that the NRCC's $1 million previously announced by was taken off at the same time the CLF buy was placed.

A total of nearly $4.4 million in outside money has been spent so far in this north suburban race.
