Digital Ads Target Reps. Bacon, Chavez-Derner, Ciscomani, D’Esposito, Duarte, Fitzpatrick, Garcia, Kean, Jr., Kiggans, Kim, LaLota, Lawler, Molinaro, Santos, Schweikert, Steel, Valadao, and Williams
Washington, D.C. – This week, the Congressional Integrity Project is launching a new paid digital ad campaign in the eighteen Republican House districts across the country that were won by President Biden in 2020. The ads call on the Biden 18 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.
These 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.
In addition, Congressional Integrity Project executive director Kyle Herrig issued the following statement.
“Even after the disastrous first impeachment inquiry hearing, nine months of investigation resulting in absolutely no evidence of wrongdoing whatsoever, and multiple nationwide polls demonstrating impeachment is not a priority of most Americans, the MAGA House will not give up on this charade. Voters in the Biden 18 districts clearly do not consider impeachment a priority. It’s far past time for these representatives to listen to their constituents and stand up to put a stop to these bogus political stunts.”
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), George Santos (NY-3), David Schweikert (AZ-1), Michelle Steel (CA-45), David Valadao (CA-22), and Brandon Williams (NY-22).
