The ad will run on television in the Salt Lake City media market and on digital platforms throughout the district.

“Professional politician Ben McAdams says Utahns deserve a ‘government that is held accountable for tax dollars,’ but he grew his own budget by $500 million and backed a dozen tax increases over $300 million,” said Michael Byerly, CLF spokesman. “McAdams did it all while giving himself a pay raise every year he was mayor – Utah families deserve better.”

SCRIPT 

VO: Professional politician Ben McAdams says we deserve a “government that is held accountable for tax dollars.” 

But here’s the real Ben McAdams: 

As Salt Lake County Mayor, he grew his own budget by $500 million.

McAdams has backed over $300 million in tax increases.  

Taxes on families, property, and businesses. 

And McAdams did it all while giving himself a pay raise – every year he was mayor.   

That’s the real Ben McAdams and we can’t afford him.
