Political consultant Mark Jablonowski predicts that Facebook Inc. won’t lack for political ads during this year’s campaign season despite the rancour caused by Russian election meddling and a massive data leak. 

“For the time being, people are still on Facebook, and political advertisers want to advertise where their constituents are,” said Jablonowski, partner and chief technology officer at DSPolitical, a digital ad firm that serves Democrats.
