The conservative American Action Network (AAN) is slated to run a $2.5 million ad campaign targeting vulnerable pro-impeachment Democrats representing congressional districts won by President Trump in 2016.
The America Action Network, which Politico describes as a “powerful GOP 501(c)(4),†is slated to launch a four-week ad blitz against 11 vulnerable Democrats who represent Trump-won districts.
The list includes Reps. Max Rose (D-NY), Andy Kim (D-NJ), Abby Finkenauer (D-IA), Jared Golden (D-ME), Susie Lee (D-NV), Anthony Brindisi (D-NY), Kendra Horn (D-OK), Matt Cartwright (D-PA), Ben McAdams (D-UT), Elaine Luria (D-VA), and Abigail Spanberger (D-VA), all of whom voted in favor of impeachment despite hesitancy from their respective constituents. (Golden voted in favor of the article alleging abuse of power but did not support the other article, accusing the president of obstruction of Congress.)
The blitz follows AAN’s recent polling analyzing Lee’s, Brindisi’s, and Horn’s respective districts. The survey found that “a majority of voters across these districts were less likely to vote for their freshman swing district Democrat if they were to back impeachment,†as Breitbart News detailed.
AAN’s main ad spot will air in Horn’s district, to the tune of $200,000.
