This Independence Day, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching a targeted digital ad campaign calling on Congressman John Kline to ‘Declare his Independence’ from the for-profit college industry donors bankrolling his campaign.

The digital ads will focus on veterans and students in Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District.

It’s the perfect time for Kline to declare his independence: the Department of Ed just announced they are tightening down on their fraudulent practices. Will their widely-known practices of faking job placement rates finally be what enables John Kline to see the light?

“The rise of the for-profit college industry has cost taxpayers millions in federal funding that Congressman Kline has fought tooth and nail to protect,” said Sacha Haworth of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. “Minnesotans looking to earn a degree deserve leadership in Washington that isn’t in the pocket of industry, so today we’re inviting John Kline to declare his independence from these special interests.”
