DNC targets GOP senators over shutdown in digital ad

Source: The Hill

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) on Saturday said it launched a digital advertisement effort against five Senate Republicans it argues caused the government shutdown.

The campaign targets GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska), Dean Heller (Nev.), Ted Cruz (Texas), Susan Collins (Maine) and Bob Corker (Tenn.). Both Heller and Cruz are up for re-election.

“Republicans failed to take care of veterans, provide children with long-term access to health care, fight the opioid crisis and protect Dreamers,” Sabrina Singh, the committee’s deputy communications director, said in a statement.

What's special about these 5? How are they more responsible than the others?

The DNC will be launching a new digital ad campaign to hold Senate Republicans accountable for their failure of leadership and the DNC is urging voters across the country to call on their Senators and demand that they do their jobs.”

While Corker is retiring when his current term ends, and Murkowski and Collins are not up for reelection for several years, both Heller and Cruz are facing the DNC attack as they prepare to run for reelection.

Heller’s home state of Nevada went for Democrat Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election by 2 points...

Thanks to the volunteers and democratic organizers who gave it everything they had and then some! Nevada is now blue.
