The $500,000 ad campaign includes TV, digital, and direct mail
ECU, the grassroots, small-dollar donor funded organization is the first group to go on air in OK-05 for the general election
End Citizens United (ECU) today launched a $500,000 ad campaign highlighting how Congresswoman Kendra Horn (OK-05) stood up for small businesses while rich donors and corporate lobbyists tried to get a leg up. Titled, “Tough Times”, the ad highlights how Horn is rejecting corporate PAC money and working with both parties to stick up for Oklahomans and small businesses.
“While corporate special interests and rich donors try to abuse the PPP program, Congresswoman Kendra Horn has been working across the aisle to make sure small businesses in Oklahoma get the relief they deserve,” said End Citizens United President Tiffany Muller. “Her refusal to take corporate PAC money has made it abundantly clear that Oklahomans, not special interests, guide her decision-making. Putting partisan politics aside to get things done for Oklahomans is emblematic of Rep. Horn’s approach to leadership, and we’re looking forward to getting that message out.”
