The Dem group Opportunity Wisconsin is launching a new digital ad accusing GOP U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden of voting to give tax breaks to large corporations.
The group said the spot will run on digital platforms in Van Orden’s western Wisconsin congressional district. The group didn’t provide details on how much it’s spending on the spot, but said it’s part of an ongoing seven-figure buy it announced in May targeting Van Orden and U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Janesville.
The new ad features a man identified as Tim, a dairy farmer in the 3rd CD. He talks about the challenges of working as a farmer, saying that “when the rich don’t pay their fair share, it all falls back on our back.” Tim says large corporations “should pay their taxes just like we do.”
“When you go to Washington, you’re supposed to support your people.” Tim says. “Derrick Van Orden is not looking out for families like mine, he’s taking care of somebody else.”
