Today, the DCCC released “Secret,” a new TV ad hitting Congressman Rodney Davis for prioritizing himself and his family ahead of local businesses in Central Illinois. During the pandemic when small businesses in Central Illinois were struggling to stay open, Davis twice voted against transparency for the federal loan program meant to help – just days after his own family took more than $1 million in loans.
“Secret” is the DCCC’s third TV ad in the 13th District, following “Working For” and “Perfect Match,” which highlight how Davis takes millions in contributions from special interests and votes their way in Washington.
“Unfortunately, this is exactly what Central Illinoisans have come to expect from Rodney Davis,” said DCCC Spokesperson Courtney Rice. “He’ll always put himself, his family, and his special interest donors first – even during the pandemic.”
