Our ec_schneider watched 400+ congressional TV ads to find out how/where masks showed up. She found the amount of mask-wearing in TV ads often aligns with the partisan index of the district and how deeply (or not) the district has dealt with coronavirus

“Republicans in those suburban districts are really trying to hang on and appeal to those college-educated voters who are skeptical of the GOP, so they’re finding a way to be pro-mask without it being heavy-handed,” said Rob Stutzman, a Republican consultant based in California. “This is the ultimate test for figuring out how in touch a candidate is with their district.”

“If there’s a Democrat in a Trump district who is not wearing a mask, there was strategic thought put into that, and if a Republican is wearing one in a blue-leaning seat, there’s strategy in that, too, because ads are the most expensive, well-crafted parts of the campaign,” said John Del Cecato, a Democratic ad-maker.
