Congressional Leadership Fund Launches First Ad of 2014 Cycle Against Maloney

Ad will reach suburban moms with women’s-focused cable and digital buys hitting Sean Patrick Maloney 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 Sean Patrick Maloney (NY-18) 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.

“Sean Patrick Maloney refused to support balancing Washington’s budget even though New York families have to every month,” said CLF Communications Director Dan Conston. “Hudson Valley moms deserve to know why Congressman Maloney 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 Sean Patrick Maloney just voted against balancing Washington’s budget
Maloney backs policies to put America more in debt. It’s reckless. It’s wrong.
We balance our budget. Why won’t Sean Patrick Maloney balance his?
