House Speaker Paul Ryan’s super PAC released its first television ad Friday, targeting Pennsylvania’s March special congressional election.
The $1.5 million ad blitz by the Congressional Leadership Fund dubs Democratic candidate Conor Lamb one of House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s “sheep” busy promoting her “extreme agenda.”
“His name is Conor Lamb. But in Washington, he’d be one of Nancy Pelosi’s sheep,” a narrator in the ad says. “Lamb would join the liberal flock and follow Pelosi’s lead. Voting the straight liberal party line for Pelosi’s extreme agenda.”
This is only the CLF’s latest effort to support Republican state Rep. Rick Saccone in the upcoming special election to take place on March 13. Earlier this month, CLF opened two field offices in Pennsylvania’s 18th congressional district with 50 full-time doorknockers.
“Nancy Pelosi is the most unpopular, most toxic elected official in the country, and Conor Lamb is running to be her rubber stamp in Congress,” CLF Executive Director Corry Bliss said. “Pennsylvanians deserve a proven conservative leader like Rick Saccone, who will stand up for Pennsylvania families and their values.”
Republican super PAC warns Democratic voters that their candidate supports gun rights.
Conor Lamb, the Democratic nominee in a March 13 special congressional election in southwest Pennsylvania, has deviated from his party’s positions on guns — and a Republican super PAC wants Democratic voters to know about it.
An ad arriving by mail offers a backhanded “thank you” to Lamb from Congressional Leadership Fund, a super PAC aligned with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) that has spent millions of dollars on the race.
