Congressional Leadership Fund Launches First Ad of 2014 Cycle Against Garcia
Ad will reach suburban moms with women’s-focused cable and digital buys hitting Joe Garcia for Refusing to Balance Washington’s Budget
WASHINGTON – The Congressional Leadership Fund (@CLFSuperPAC), the super PAC exclusively dedicated to protecting and growing the House Republican Majority, released today their first ad of the 2014 cycle against Congressman Joe Garcia (FL-26) for voting against balancing Washington’s budget yesterday.
The House-passed budget would balance Washington’s budget, preventing our coming debt crisis and growing the economy. The ads will run on cable shows targeting women and will be accompanied by a similar paid digital ad campaign.
“Joe Garcia refused to support balancing Washington’s budget even though Florida families have to every month,” said CLF Communications Director Dan Conston. “South Florida moms deserve to know why Congressman Garcia thinks Washington shouldn’t follow the same rules they do.”
From 2011-2012, CLF raised a combined $55 million with their sister-organization the American Action Network, a 501c4 primarily focused on advocating for center-right policy solutions and the center-right movement. Additionally, the Sunlight Foundation rated the $21 million in independent expenditures spent by AAN & CLF the #1 and #2 Highest “Returns on Investment” of conservative groups.

It’ll just have to wait.

Families make tough decisions to balance their budget.
Why can’t Washington?
Congressman Joe Garcia just voted against balancing Washington’s budget
Garcia backs policies to put America more in debt. It’s reckless. It’s wrong.
We balance our budget. Why won’t Joe Garcia balance his?
