Freedom Partners Action Fund on Wednesday is scheduled to hit the airwaves in six states as part of a $6.5 million television advertising campaign to boost Republican Senate candidates.
Voters in Alaska, Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, New Hampshire and North Carolina will see 30-second spots urging them to send a message of opposition to President Barack Obama by supporting the Republican Senate nominee on the ballot in their respective states. The ads feature real voters, whose names and hometowns are listed on screen, talking straight to camera about why they oppose the Democratic nominee and back the Republican.
“There are many reasons Sen. Mark Udall hasn’t earned six more years,” Janna Widdifield, of Arvada, Colo., says in the spot set to run in the Centennial State. “He voted for Obamacare and pressured officials to cover up cancellation notices.”
“A vote for Mark Udall is a vote for President Obama,” adds Rhoda Schultz, also of Arvada, who, like Widdifield, speaks straight to the camera. “On Nov. 4, vote Cory Gardner.”
The ads are scheduled to run through Election Day. Freedom Partners Action Fund is a super PAC and part of coalition of Republican-friendly groups that are backed by the billionaire industrialist brothers Charles and David Koch.
