Digital Ads Target Reps. Bacon, Chavez-DeRemer, Ciscomani, D’Esposito, Duarte, Fitzpatrick, Garcia, Kean, Jr., Kiggans, Kim, LaLota, Lawler, Molinaro, Schweikert, Steel, Valadao, and Williams
Washington, D.C. – This week, the Congressional Integrity Project launched a new paid digital ad campaign in the seventeen Republican House districts across the country that were won by President Biden in 2020.
The ads call out Rep. David Schweikert and the Biden 17 members for voting for the sham impeachment inquiry and highlight the immense failures of the MAGA House GOP this year. The ads also call on the Biden 17 to stop the massively unpopular, evidence-free impeachment of President Biden and instead focus on the priorities that matter most to Americans across the country like access to health care and the cost of living.
The ads are part of a months-long seven-figure no-holds-barred advocacy campaign, run by the Congressional Integrity Project, targeting members of the Biden 17 and holding Republicans accountable for ignoring critical priorities and instead, focusing on bogus investigations and an impeachment inquiry to hurt President Biden and help Donald Trump return to the White House.
In addition, Congressional Integrity Project executive director Kyle Herrig issued the following statement.
“Despite absolutely no evidence whatsoever of wrongdoing by President Biden, David Schweikert and the Biden 17 caved to Donald Trump and the extreme MAGA agenda to launch a baseless impeachment inquiry into the President. They have made a clear stance to turn their backs on hardworking Americans across the country and the important priorities they have like lowering the cost of living and access to health care. It’s time for David Schweikert and the Biden 17 to stand up against the ultra-right-wing flank of the House and stand with the American people.”
The ads will run and have a significant online presence in the following districts: Don Bacon (NE-2), Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-5), Juan Ciscomani (AZ-6), Anthony D’Esposito (NY-4), John Duarte (CA-13), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-1), Mike Garcia (CA-27), Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-7), Jen Kiggans (VA-2), Young Kim (CA-40), Nick LaLota (NY-1), Mike Lawler (NY-17), Marc Molinaro (NY-19), David Schweikert (AZ-1), Michelle Steel (CA-45), David Valadao (CA-22), and Brandon Williams (NY-22).
SCRIPT:
VO: MAGA House Republicans just voted to open a baseless impeachment inquiry into President Biden, despite there being no evidence of wrongdoing by the president.
And how did Representative David Schweikert vote?
He voted with the extreme MAGA Republicans.
He put an extreme MAGA agenda ahead of lowering costs for families. He chose to stand with Donald Trump, not with the American people.
Call Representative David Schweikert Tell him to stop this sham impeachment now.
