This total is an estimate (≈ $327,000). The filing carries no dollar figure, so we sized it from median day rate of 20 priced orders on WIBW-TV; 91-day flight. The real total is not known yet and is left out of confirmed-spend figures; we update it when a later invoice or the candidates' finance filings land.

This filing is a scanned image with no text layer. The document itself is below.
