WASHINGTON — At times onWednesday night, Diamondbacksright-hander Rubby De La Rosa wouldsnap his glove in frustration when hecaught his catcher’s return throw. DeLa Rosa gave up just two runs, but helasted only five innings, and through-out the evening hewore his frustrationfor all to see.

Political ads critical of U.S. Rep. Ron Barber, D-Ariz.,

began playing on television stations across southernArizona

last year. Itwas13monthsbeforevoterswould enter avoting

booth to choose between the Tucson Democrat and his

Republican opponent.The well-funded conservative group behind the ads,

Americans for Prosperity, timed them to the fumbled rollout

of the Affordable Care Act.

All told, Barber and fellow Arizona Democrat Rep. Ann

Kirkpatrick were hit with $1.8 million in ads funded by the

group over the next three months.

Outside groups are spending increasing amounts to influence

congressional elections. If current trends continue, spending by

outside groups may soon exceed spending by candidates.
