trump-pusa-ad-6.2.20Washington, DC — After over 80 million voters have already cast their ballots by mail or early in person, Priorities USA Action and Senate Majority PAC are focused on turning out voters who have yet to make their voice heard. Priorities USA Action and SMP are releasing new digital ads that give voters the tools to make a plan to cast their ballot.

The digital ads seek to help voters during every step of the voting process. “Make A Plan” directs voters to iwillvote.com and provides individuals with the information they need to get to the polls or return their ballot. “Hotline” offers resources for any voting-related questions or issues a person might have and “Stay In Line” informs voters of their legal right to stay in line if they get to their precinct before polls close.

In addition to creative, Priorities is also bidding on Google search terms such as ‘Voter Safety,’ ‘Hotline,’ ‘Misinformation,’ ‘Election Day GOTV,’ and ‘Threats.’ Examples of searches that our ads have shown up on include "safest way to vote," "will my vote count," "voting phone number," "where to vote," and "report voter intimidation." The search ads proactively remind people of their state's voting info, connecting them to a hotline to call with questions, as well as a link to the ACLU's voter protection website, which outlines voting rights specified by state. Examples of these ads can be found here.

Because of policies enacted almost entirely by Republicans at the state and national level, access to the ballot in many states has become increasingly difficult, especially for voters of color. Priorities USA Action aims to counter these efforts to suppress the vote by providing voters reliable, factual information about how they can cast their ballot and what resources are available.

“Even with record-level turnout in so many states, we have more work to do to ensure that we defeat Donald Trump, flip the Senate, and elect Joe Biden,” said Guy Cecil, Chairman of Priorities USA. “Priorities is laser focused on turning out voters for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in key battleground states and ensuring that their voices are actually heard in our election. It is shameful that the Republicans in state houses and our nation’s capital have made suppressing the vote a top priority on their agenda. We won’t let these efforts go unchecked and we will continue to invest millions of dollars to make sure that voters have the resources they need to cast their ballot.”

"Now is not the time for Democrats to rest on our laurels - now is the time to kick voter mobilization into high gear. We're excited by the record breaking turnout but we're not taking anything for granted. SMP is proud to join this effort to make sure we're able to get across the finish line across the country while simultaneously protecting and empowering voters who might otherwise not turn out," said J.B. Poersch, President of Senate Majority PAC.

Amy Coney Barrett Confirmation PDF Print E-mail

amy-coney-barrett-confirmationWISCONSIN -- In response to the confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Democratic Party of Wisconsin Executive Director Nellie Sires released the following statement:

“The confirmation of Amy Coney Barrett was yet another attack by Donald Trump on the health care Wisconsinites rely upon, including the protections for the 2.4 million Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions and the 150,000 Wisconsinites who get their health insurance through the exchange. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, exacerbated by Trump’s failed pandemic response resulting in 220,000 deaths, including over 1,800 here in Wisconsin, Trump is doing everything possible to take health care away from millions of people when they need it most. Trump’s White House admits they have no plan to stop coronavirus, and Trump said on the debate stage last week that we will “learn to live” with COVID-19.

"Now more than ever, health care is on the ballot, and the only way we can protect our friends and family who rely upon the ACA is to elect Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House on November 3rd. Joe Biden was instrumental in passing the ACA and believes we should expand access to quality, affordable health care, not rip it away. We know that by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, we’re sending leaders to the White House who will fight to make sure every Wisconsinite gets the care they need, not work to take it away.”

covid-19-wh-trumpWISCONSIN -- In response to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows saying that the Trump Administration will not address the COVID-19 pandemic, Democratic Party of Wisconsin spokesperson Philip Shulman released the following statement:

“Trump and his administration are just saying what we already know: that they have completely given up on trying to get this pandemic under control, even as Wisconsin sees its hospital capacity pushed to the brink by skyrocketing cases of COVID-19 infections and deaths. Even though Trump exacerbated this crisis, he is still trying to strip protections from the 2.4 million Wisconsinites with pre-existing conditions and rip away health care from the 150,000 people who get their health care through the exchange. The only way we will get out of this catastrophe is by electing Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to the White House on November 3rd.”
