RSLC PAC Releases Second Ad of ‘Republican Roadmap’ Series Targeting Battleground States with Top Issues for Voters

Washington, D.C. – With our economy in turmoil due to the do-nothing agenda coming out of Washington D.C., the Republican State Leadership Committee PAC (RSLC PAC) today announced the second ad of its ‘Republican Roadmap’ series, highlighting how state Republicans have combatted inflation and the failed economic policies of the Biden Administration. The multi-phase ad series running in key battleground states is backed by a six-figure investment and emphasizes how Republicans' agendas in state houses across the country directly address the top issues on the minds of voters heading into a pivotal 2024 election year. 
 

The RSLC PAC today launched the second ad of the campaign in four of the committee’s target states, reminding voters of the harmful impact the economic policies in Washington DC have had on the American people and how state Republicans are rising to the occasion to deliver relief to their constituents during times of economic turmoil. The video contrasts the out-of-touch polices spearheaded by Washington D.C. and state Democrats with the state Republican agenda of cutting taxes and cutting red-tape to make states more competitive for businesses investment and jobs for the American people. 

“Americans across the country are feeling the pain of failed economic policies coming out of Washington D.C. which has left the middle-class unable to afford basic necessities like gas, groceries, and rent,” said RSLC PAC President Dee Duncan. “While Democrats remain committed to reckless spending and tax increases on middle class Americans, state Republicans are fighting back to combat this harmful agenda by supporting tax cuts, increasing opportunities, and expanding measures to slash red tape and make Republican-led states even more competitive. Our Republican Roadmap will help state Republicans hold and reclaim majorities across the country, and we will continue to invest the proper resources needed to achieve this goal.”  

The second ad will run in:  

·  Michigan

·  Minnesota 

·  Pennsylvania 

·  Wisconsin

SCRIPT: 

“The reckless spending by career politicians in Washington have left most American families paying more and getting less. …and back in the states, Democrat leaders are following Washington’s ways to make matters worse. But state Republicans are pushing back. If you’re tired of paying more for the things your family needs……Stand with state republicans to get the economy back on track.”

BACKGROUND:

The release of "Back on Track" follows an RSLC polling memo from March showing that Republicans are trusted to handle the three top issues among voters better than Democrats, which positions us well for the months ahead:
