PAC Ads Slam Democrats Responsible For Pelosi’s Re-Election

Just one day after the 117th Congress was sworn in and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was narrowly re-elected, a leading super political action committee that backs House Republicans is targeting vulnerable Democrats in the 2022 midterm elections.

On Monday the Congressional Leadership Fund announced their plan to spend five-figures to run digital ads in 21 congressional districts against Democratic lawmakers who supported the re-election of Nancy Pelosi.

“When liberals like Pelosi push their radical agenda, we know who to blame,” says the narrator in the spots.

#2022 is here and Democrats better BUCKLE UP.

CLF launched new ads in 21 districts targeting vulnerable Dems who supported @SpeakerPelosi for Speaker.

Instead of expanding their majority, the Democrats lost nearly a dozen seats in the recent elections, and the party holds a 222-211 majority in the chamber over Republicans. In New York State on House election has still not been called, and a mostly GOP district in Louisiana is vacant because Representative-elect Luke Letlow recently passed away from COVID-19.

Included in the group of 21 Democrats target in the spots are Representatives Ron Kind, Cheri Bustos, Haley Stevens, and Sean Patrick Maloney who is the incoming Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chair.

Democrats lost on average about 25 House seats in the midterms election allowing Republicans to regain the majority in the chamber, which they lost in the 2018 midterms.

“Every lawmaker who supported Nancy Pelosi either by name or by cowardly hiding behind a vote of ‘president’ is directly responsible for enabling Pelosi and all of her dangerous agenda,” said leadership fund President Dan Conston.

Conston anticipates that “Democrats will spend the next 24 months of their short-lived majority explaining why they sold out to Nancy Pelosi and the socialist left.”
