Washington, D.C. – This week, Congressional Integrity Project will release ads in five districts calling out the Republicans who represent them in Congress for their support of a slate of bills in the House Financial Services Committee that would block money managers, including pension fund managers, from well established financial risk factors in investment decisions.
The digital ads target Reps. Steil (WI-1), Kim (CA-40), Lawler (NY-17), Nunn (IA-3) and De La Cruz (TX-15), and holds them accountable for their attacks on responsible investing.
“Republicans in Congress must be held accountable for their attacks on responsible investment strategies that protect consumers, and their money,” Congressional Integrity Project executive director Kyle Herrig said. “Americans deserve to know the truth about how their representatives are putting their own donors and wealthy special interests ahead of the safety and financial security of their constituents.”
EXAMPLE SCRIPT:
VO: Representative Mike Lawler seems to think only billionaires should decide what information corporations share–and hide–from the rest of us.
That includes concealing the dangerous bets that corporate execs make with our safety and financial security.
Lawler supports bills that put the wishes of deceptive corporations over everyday New Yorkers struggling in a tough economy.
Why does Lawler prefer reckless corporations over our communities?
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that they are bankrolling his campaign.
The people of the Hudson Valley deserve better.
