At the start of the general election in Georgia, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) is launching a new digital ad on Republican Senate candidate Congressman Mike Collins: “Too Extreme.”
The spot highlights how Mike Collins is a “close Trump ally” who has voted with MAGA Republicans even when it hurts Georgians. He enters the general election inextricably linked to Trump, whose favorability is suffering in Georgia, and he currently faces an investigation by the House Ethics Committee for misuse of taxpayer dollars.
The ad will reach persuadable voters in Georgia and will run on CTV platforms like Hulu, Roku, and Peacock.
Watch “Too Extreme” Here:
From DSCC spokesperson Maddy McDaniel: “Mike Collins will fall in line with Trump every time, even when his policies hurt Georgia. He stripped health care from Georgians to deliver tax breaks for billionaires, supports abortion bans with no exceptions, and is currently under a bipartisan investigation for misusing taxpayer dollars, a scandal that is likely far from over. Republicans are firmly on the backfoot, and Senator Jon Ossoff will be reelected to the Senate in November.”
