In case you missed it, the DCCC launched its first national TV and radio campaign of the cycle. The national cable blitz and 3-week radio buy in 11 Congressional Districts will warn voters that access to affordable healthcare is always at risk as long as Republicans control Congress. Notably, the ad blitz focuses on Speaker Ryan and the deeply unpopular Washington Republican establishment.
