Mayday PAC, a pro-campaign finance reform committee whose millions come from both small-dollar donors and Silicon Valley moguls, will spend $1 million boosting Weiland's campaign.
"Like the rest of us, South Dakotans are tired of seeing Congress crippled by its dependence on campaign cash and the cronies who supply it," said Mayday PAC co-founder Mark McKinnon in a news release. "The only way to take our democracy back is to elect reformers like Rick Weiland."
The group also will work with other pro-Weiland outside groups to spend up to another million helping Weiland and bashing Republican nominee Mike Rounds — a total of $2 million on Weiland's behalf.
This is huge money for South Dakota politics. As of last week, Rounds had spent only $700,000 total on television ads the past two years.
