DCCC Releases First TV Ad in PA-08: “Join”

Today, the DCCC released a new TV ad in the race for PA-08, “Join,” featuring Dave, a local construction worker who has been paying into Social Security and Medicare with every paycheck and is holding  Rob Bresnahan accountable for being a threat to seniors’ hard-earned benefits.

On the campaign trail, Bresnahan has repeatedly pledged his loyalty to Speaker Mike Johson and embraced an extreme agenda that would reward the ultra-wealthy while raising costs for working-class northeastern Pennsylvanians.

One of the focal points of this disastrous far-right plan is cutting Social Security, privatizing Medicare, and raising the retirement age.

The ad – the first to run in PA-08 from the DCCC IE – is airing in the Wilkes-Barre media market beginning today and is part of the committee’s previously announced investments in key battleground districts.

Transcript:

“I enlisted at 17, came home, started working construction. 

I’ve been paying into Social Security and Medicare with every paycheck.

I’m very happy that that’s waiting for me when I finally hang up the boots.

Rob Bresnahan just doesn’t care.

Rob Bresnahan is going to join the extremists in Congress trying to cut social security and Medicare – massive cuts to our retirement benefits.

Rob Bresnahan isn’t looking out for folks like us.

DCCC is responsible for the content of this ad.”
