DCCC Releases New TV Ad in PA-08: “Hoodie”

The DCCC released a new TV ad in the race for PA-08, “Hoodie,” highlighting lobbying executive Jim Bognet’s phony campaign image.

You can’t trust Jim Bognet. He’s a Washington lobbying executive and political operative who has spent his life developing policies to help special interests squeeze working people. He’s called for cuts to Social Security and Medicare programs that so many in northeastern Pennsylvania rely on and his campaign is funded by the director of a Chinese pharmaceutical company.

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

He developed policies to help special interests squeeze working people.

Cutting worker benefits and pensions. Gutting Social Security and Medicare.

Now, Jim Bognet’s supported by a director of a Chinese Pharmaceutical company … and sided with them … against lower drug prices.

So when Jim Bognet puts on a hoodie and acts like a regular Joe … we know who he’s really working for.
