Defense policy analysis, commentary and discussion.Crossroads GPS continued its summer media blitz Monday with advertisement buys targeted at 10 House Members.
The cash-flush conservative group launched $1.4 million in advertisements criticizing Democratic Reps. Tim Bishop (N.Y.), Leonard Boswell (Iowa), Lois Capps (Calif.), Ben Chandler (Ky.), Jerry Costello (Ill.), Jim Matheson (Utah), Bill Owens (N.Y.), Mike Ross (Ark.), Kurt Schrader (Ore.) and Heath Shuler (N.C.).
The ads will run for two weeks in the Members’ respective districts, according to information obtained by Roll Call.
The campaign comes just more than a week after Crossroads GPS went up with advertisements hitting five Democratic Senators. Both media buys are part of the group’s $20 million ad campaign this summer.
“President Obama and his congressional allies have already wasted hundreds of billions of our tax dollars, and we need to send them the message that they don’t deserve another penny in taxes,” Steven Law, the president of Crossroads GPS, said in a statement.
