Overview

Candidate CPP:
Flint-Saginaw-Bay City: $166

Paul Junge is a far-right extremist and trust fund millionaire from California who only moved to Michigan to run for Congress. He doesn’t understand our values and his radical agenda will take away our fundamental rights and harm everyday Mid-Michiganders.

Summary

It is critical that voters across the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City media market continue seeing ads on broadcast and cable, and digital and streaming platforms about Paul Junge’s extreme position on abortion:

  • Paul Junge said that Roe v. Wade gave women “made up rights” and that he opposes abortion “at all times.” So, it’s no surprise that he wants to overturn the will of Michigan voters and pass federal legislation that would ban abortion nationwide – even in the case of rape, incest, or when the health of the woman is at risk.

Starting the seventh week prior to the November 5 general election, voters across the Flint-Saginaw-Bay City media market should see ads on broadcast and cable, and digital and streaming platforms that Paul Junge’s position on Social Security and Medicare will hurt Michigan seniors:

  • Junge will join the extreme Republicans who are pushing a plan to phase out Social Security and Medicare in five years and end guaranteed benefits for Michigan seniors who have spent years paying into the programs. It’s no surprise Junge can’t relate to Michigan seniors who have worked their entire lives, given his recent admission that he “inherited some money… that doesn’t require him to work.”

    • When communicating about Junge’s position on Social Security and Medicare, and the devastating impact on Michigan seniors, it is important that voters are reminded that Junge is an outsider from California who doesn’t understand the values of Mid-Michiganders, having only moved to Michigan to run multiple campaigns for Congress, funded by his trust fund.
