A group aligned with House Republican leadership is launching a nearly $12 million advertising buy highlighting the cost of living in more than a dozen Republican districts.
American Action Network, the sister organization of the GOP leadership-aligned super PAC Congressional Leadership Fund, is launching an ad buy advocating legislative reform aimed at reducing everyday living expenses in 19 GOP-controlled districts, according to with the plans first shared with The Hill.
Most of these members are running in swing House districts, which will determine which party will have the House majority in November. The ads should be broadcast on digital platforms and television during the summer.
The ads will be aired in Reps. districts. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.), Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.), John Duarte (R-Calif.), David Valadao (R-Calif.), Mike Garcia (R-Calif.), Mike Garcia (R-Calif.) .-Calif.), Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), Zach Nunn (R-Iowa), John James (R-Mich.), Don Bacon (R-Neb.), Tom Kean Jr., Nick LaLota (RN .Y.), Anthony D’Esposito (RN.Y.), Mike Lawler (RN.Y.), Marc Molinaro (RN.Y.), Brandon Williams (RN.Y.), Lori Chavez DeRemer (R-Ore. .), Jen Kiggans (R-Va.), Brian Steil (R-Wis.), and Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.).
“The liberal experiment with more regulation and more government spending has failed American workers across the country. It’s obvious to anyone with bills to pay that something must change,” AAN President Dan Conston said in a statement.
“Congress is already taking action to reduce the costs of the left’s never-ending inflation, but we must further reduce the impact of the administrative state’s regulatory onslaught and provide some much-needed relief to American families.”
House Republicans are defending their narrow majority this fall, and the path to a House majority will largely run through New York and California, as it did last cycle. Republicans lean heavily on issues such as inflation and the economy, immigration and crime.
Polls offered a mixed bag for both parties in November, as polls showed President Biden trailing or tied with former President Trump in battleground states, while Democratic Senate candidates are outperforming their Republican competitors.
However, Democrats are also pushing a tough reelection map after Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) opted not to seek re-election in West Virginia and Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and Jon Tester (D- Mont.) are running in states that Trump won handily in 2020.
However, polls for congressional contests often come down to the wire, raising questions about how voters will weigh their options in the fall.
