This week, the DCCC is launching a billboard campaign to show voters in some of the most competitive House districts in the country their representative’s refusal to condemn Donald Trump’s call for Congressional Republicans to defund law enforcement. The billboards will be up as Americans are on the road for Memorial Day.
The billboard campaign targets House Republicans in competitive seats that President Biden won in 2020, including:
Last month, disgraced, criminally indicted, and twice-impeached ex-President Donald Trump called on Congressional Republicans to “defund the DOJ and FBI.” When asked to simply comment on Trump’s call to defund agencies that keep Americans safe, these party-first House Republicans “didn’t provide any comment on whether they back Trump’s calls to defund the FBI and DOJ.”
Over the next 17 months, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will continue to hold vulnerable House Republicans – who repeatedly align themselves with extreme MAGA Republicans, often at the expense of the safety of our communities – accountable.
DCCC spokesperson Justin Chermol:
“Vulnerable House Republicans – who time and time again attempt to paint themselves as moderates who are pro public safety – have shamelessly refused to condemn the twice-impeached, criminally-indicted former president’s call to defund the law enforcement agencies that keep our communities safe. These House Republicans have put party politics over public safety – and we won’t let Americans forget.”
REMINDER: House Republicans voted for the ‘Default on America Act,’ which would strip away federal funding for state and local law enforcement officers and eliminate thousands of positions at the FBI.
