House Majority PAC launching first paid attack against Kline on student loans

House Majority PAC is launching its first paid attack on Rep. John Kline (R-Minn.), hammering him for his position in favor of a proposal that Democrats say will exponentially increase student loan rates.

The campaign is the first paid attack from HMP this cycle, and the first attack on Kline, named as one of the PAC's top 10 targets for 2014.

Democrats believe Kline is vulnerable because his district became more favorable to Democrats following redistricting and split nearly evenly between President Obama and Republican Mitt Romney in 2012.

HMP is launching promoted Facebook posts, a promoted petition using the hashtag #StopScammingStudents and banner ads on local news sites calling for readers to sign a petition to tell the congressman to "stop scamming students."
