End Citizens United touts Slokin’s commitment to rejecting corporate PAC money, national security experience

Ads will run from May 30 – June 13

End Citizens United (ECU) today unveiled its first digital ad supporting Elissa Slotkin in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District. The ad, titled “That’s Elissa,” highlights Slotkin’s commitment to rejecting corporate PAC money, as well as her background as a national security leader.

“Elissa’s business and national security experience, combined with her commitment to putting people ahead of Washington special interests makes her a uniquely strong candidate to represent families in Michigan,” said ECU President Tiffany Muller. “She’ll fight to unrig the system on behalf of everyday Michiganders so that Washington focuses on all of us, not only big political donors. We’ll continue to get the word out about Elissa, and we look forward to helping her win in November.”

The ad, targeting moderate and Democratic women, will run from May 30 through June 13.
