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 highlight the immense failures of the MAGA House GOP this year and call on the Biden 17 to stop focusing on the 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 advocacy campaign, run by the Congressional Integrity Project, to hold 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.
CIP sent out 10 rapid response products, including statements, fact sheets, and roundups.

Daily Beast (Opinion): Democrats Can Win if They Make the 2024 Election About Healthcare. “‘It’s the most powerful kitchen table issue there is,’ says Leslie Dach, executive chair of Protect Our Care, a health advocacy group, and senior advisor to the Congressional Integrity Project, a pro-Biden rapid response group. ‘Politically, it’s a loser for them (GOP) because it’s a totally non-partisan issue. The only place it’s partisan is in Washington, D.C. Everybody in America worries about getting sick, and how they’re going to pay for it, and they’re trying to make it an ideological issue.’” [Daily Beast, 12/5/23]
New York Times: McCarthy Says He Will Leave Congress at the End of the Year. “‘Kevin McCarthy represents everything that is wrong with congressional Republicans and bears much of the responsibility for the rise of the cult of MAGA and Trump,’ Kyle Herrig, the executive director of the Congressional Integrity Project, an advocacy group, said in a statement. Mr. Herrig noted that Mr. McCarthy’s legacy included the decision to empower Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, one of the most extreme members in the House, and give former President Donald J. Trump a political ‘lifeline’ after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, when Mr. McCarthy traveled to Mr. Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate to pay his respects.” [New York Times, 12/6/23]
Sacramento Bee: A majority of Californians will vote yes on Proposition 1 next spring, survey says. “The Congressional Integrity Project, formed in response to the MAGA movement, issued a statement expressing relief that McCarthy won’t be sticking around for the duration of his term. ‘Kevin McCarthy represents everything that is wrong with Congressional Republicans and bears much of the responsibility for the rise of the cult of MAGA and Trump,’ said Executive Director Kyle Herrig, in a statement. Herrig pointed out that McCarthy provided Trump ‘a lifeline’ after the Jan. 6 insurrection, empowered “the grotesque” Georgia lawmaker Marjorie Taylor Greene, launched an unfounded impeachment inquiry into Biden and more. ‘Kevin McCarthy did real damage to America and to Congress and his legacy will bear that out. Good riddance,’ Herrig said.” [Sacramento Bee, 12/7/23]
