The political nonprofit connected to House Speaker Paul Ryan is back on television with a $2.2 million advertising campaign promoting the repeal and replacement of Obamacare.
This latest ad blitz, running over the next two weeks nationally on cable news networks and locally in 21 House districts, brings American Action Network’s total 2017 spending to more than $8 million.
The new spot focuses on one California woman’s struggle to obtain health coverage under the Affordable Care Act, the health overhaul signed by President Barack Obama seven years ago.
AAN is running 30 and 60-second versions of the ad, online and on television, and appears designed to bolster the political standing of Republicans pushing for the repeal and replacement of Obamacare, as all 21 House districts it is running in are held by the GOP.
The ad will run in four California districts, three districts in Texas, two in Ohio, Iowa and Virginia, and in individual districts in Colorado, Idaho, North Carolina, Nebraska, Pennsylvania and in Ryan’s own district in Wisconsin.
