Ad highlights Elissa Slotkin’s record of lowering costs and fighting corruption
End Citizens United today released a new radio ad campaign in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District. The $400,000 ad highlights how Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin has taken on Big Pharma to lower healthcare costs, fought to ban members of Congress from trading stocks, and has never taken a dime of corporate PAC money.
“When it comes to taking on corporate special interests and DC corruption, Congresswoman Slotkin talks the talk and walks the walk. She fought Big Pharma–and won–leading the successful effort to lower the cost of prescription drugs for Michigan families. Unlike Tom Barrett, whose legislative campaign was 90% funded by corporate PACs and special interests, Slotkin never has, and never will, take a single penny from corporate PACs,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller.
The radio ad will run on streaming and radio stations in Lansing, Livingston County, and Shiawassee County, beginning on October 12 and running through the end of October.
