The American Action Network, a group that bills itself as an "action tank," is launching a $22 million advertising campaign on Thursday. 

The campaign will target 41 districts and focus on Republican tax cuts and transgender health care, Axios reported. The goal of the campaign is to help the GOP hold onto its narrow House majority in the November midterm elections. 

The ads promote Republican's elimination of taxes on tips and Social Security, along with other parts of a GOP package passed last summer. They also draw attention to what the campaign calls "extreme policies" of Democrats, such as gender-affirming care for minors. 

The digital and television ad campaign will run from Aug. 13 through Sept. 3. This latest ad buy is on top of $40 million the American Action Network, which is affiliated with the House leadership super PAC Congressional Leadership Fund, has already spent promoting the Republican tax package, which the party has rebranded from the "One Big Beautiful Bill" to the "Working Families Tax Cut."

The combined $62 million is the most the network has ever spent at this point in an election cycle.
