WASHINGTON – Crossroads Grassroots Policy Strategies (GPS) today launched new issue radio ads in 22 U.S. House districts around the country. The Member-specific ads take Democrats to task for continuing the failed Obama/Pelosi spending policies, while buttressing Republicans in swing districts who took tough votes last week in support of the leadership.
The issue advocacy ads start today in all U.S. House districts and will each run through next Tuesday. The ad buy totals more than $450,000.
“The new Congress was elected to deal with the fiscal mess left by the Pelosi-Obama spending spree over the past two years,” said Steven Law, director of Crossroads GPS. “One of our top priorities this year is to use educational spots to frame the issue debate for congressional action on reining in spending, blocking job-killing regulations and dismantling ObamaCare, and we identified the President’s Day recess as a key inflection point in the national debate.”
The members with ads in their districts are listed below, along with the total amount of the buy in the district. The spots are also linked.
