GOP/PAUL RYAN: “A conservative group is launching a major $2.5 million ad buy Wednesday [8-9-17] to ramp up public pressure on Republican members of Congress to address tax reform.
American Action Network’s Middle-Class Growth Initiative, a nonprofit funded by House Speaker Paul Ryan supporters, unveiled a new TV ad that will run on national cable throughout the August recess while lawmakers are at home, many of them holding events with constituents.
It will air in 24 congressional districts represented by Republicans — including Ryan’s district in Wisconsin — and will urge constituents to call their representative, whose name and number will be listed at the end of the commercial.
It’s part of a larger $5 million ad buy that the group announced shortly before August, and the group is one of many right-leaning organizations pushing Congress to act on the issue…
Following the failure of the Senate to pass health care legislation at the end of July, House and Senate leaders, along with the White House, announced they plan to seriously start looking at tax reform when Congress returns in early September.”
