DCCC Releases New TV Ads in ME-02: “Plans” and “Ride With”

The DCCC released new TV ads in the race for ME-02, “Plans” and “Ride With” highlighting the contrast between Rep. Jared Golden and Bruce Poliquin on protecting seniors’ hard earned benefits.

Bruce Poliquin is a failed career politician, who spent his time in public office trying to strip retirees’ benefits. It’s no surprise Poliquin opposed lowering prescription drug costs for seniors because he’s taken more than half a million dollars from drug and insurance companies to do their bidding. Poliquin has even supported raising the retirement age.

Seniors can’t trust Bruce Poliquin.

The ads are airing across the district beginning today and are part of the committee’s previously announced investments in key battleground districts.

Transcript:
(Retiree) I’ve got plans. We’ve all got ‘em.

But Bruce Poliquin’s plans would put Social Security benefits at risk.

He planned to raise the retirement age and cap retirees’ cost-of-living increases.

He even opposed allowing Medicare to negotiate cheaper drug prices. 

But Jared Golden didn’t just plan, he passed legislation to cap seniors’ drug costs and let Medicare negotiate drug prices.

Jared Golden is the man with the right plan.

“Ride With”
