Elections around Arlington may not attract the sort of expensive TV ads that have come to dominate local stations ahead of the midterm elections, but candidates around the county have shelled out thousands to bring their messages to Facebook.

An ARLnow analysis of the social media site’s political ad database shows that Arlington’s six candidates for Congress and local office on the ballot this fall have combined with the county’s party committees to buy 549 Facebook ads from Jan. 1 through today (Oct. 29).

It takes the hard work of talented, full-time professionals to bring this site to you. As an advertising-supported publication, our local journalism would not be possible without you, our readers, and the companies below.

We are proud of our work on behalf of these local businesses and often hear success stories of readers becoming happy customers of our advertisers. However, for every customer who volunteers to an advertiser that they saw an ad on ARLnow, there are many more who saw it but did not say anything.
