New Senate Majority PAC ad says Johnson's 'just not for us'
A new TV ad from Senate Majority PAC charges U.S. Sen. Johnson’s positions on trade show he’s “just not for us.”
The 30-second ad, called “Shelter,” begins with a shot of an abandoned plant from outside a fence, with the narrator saying more than 80,000 Wisconsin jobs have been "lost to unfair trade."
“But Sen. Johnson sided with corporate interests, calling for even more unfair trade,” the narrator says.
The ad then switches to a cargo ship while the narrator says Johnson voted for “special tax breaks for corporations shipping jobs overseas, costing taxpayers billions.”
“As Johnson’s been exposed for using what looks like an offshore tax shelter -- for himself,” the narrator says to close the spot. “Ron Johnson’s just not for us.”
