New RSLC PAC TV Ad Ties Virginia Beach Democrat to Biden

Exposes Alex Askew for Running on Failed Record of Democrat-Controlled Washington

WASHINGTON, D.C -- The RSLC PAC this week will continue its paid media efforts in Virginia ahead of November’s House of Delegates elections by launching a new television ad in coordination with Karen Greenhalgh’s campaign tying Virginia Beach delegate Alex Askew (HD-85) to his self-proclaimed “partners” in Democrat-controlled Washington. The new thirty-second spot features comments Askew made last week about how he is running on the failed agenda of Joe Biden and other national liberals. 

“Alex Askew said it himself -- he and his fellow liberal delegates in Richmond are running on the failed and radical record of Democrat-controlled Washington,” said RSLC President Dee Duncan. “While Askew may think that raising taxes while the cost of living skyrockets and defunding the police while murders in Virginia are at a 20 year high are policies to be proud of, Virginians are tired of his socialist agenda and will vote for change in November.” 

Askew’s comments used in this new ad followed a June donation he received from Nancy Pelosi. They also back up the RSLC PAC’s six-figure television ad campaign launched in August in Virginia that included Askew and emphasized how the increasing costs of living, politicization of public education, and rising violent crime occurring nationally as a result of Democrat-controlled Washington has been exacerbated in Virginia due to failed Democrat leadership in Richmond. Askew in August confirmed the RSLC’s PAC’s attacks against him by admitting he voted to raise the gas tax and that he also pushed to defund the police -- but just did so with “carefully chosen words.”
