DSCC Launches Digital Homepage Takeover of Superior Telegram to Call Out Ron Johnson For Refusing to Fix Wisconsin’s Roads & Bridges

Today, ahead of President Biden’s visit to Superior to tout the benefits Wisconsin is seeing from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee is launching a digital homepage takeover of the Superior Telegram calling out self-serving Senator Ron Johnson for opposing the bipartisan law that is helping to grow good-paying jobs and repair Wisconsin’s roads and bridges. 

The digital takeover will place ads calling out Johnson’s refusal to fix Wisconsin roads and bridges on every available area of the Superior Telegram homepage today.

Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesperson Amanda Sherman-Baity: “From voting against the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that is creating good-paying jobs and ensuring the U.S. can out-compete countries like China, to refusing to support the creation of more than a thousand good paying jobs in Wisconsin, Ron Johnson keeps showing Wisconsinites he’s only looking out for himself — and that’s exactly why they’ll fire him in 2022.”

Ron Johnson refused to fight for jobs and infrastructure investments for Wisconsin:

• Johnson openly admitted that he didn’t even read the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law before voting against the legislation – telling a conservative radio host “I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t read the thing.”
  
  
  • Wisconsin will receive over $7 billion in funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, including $225 million for bridge repair and replacement. 
    

• This past month Johnson said he won’t fight to bring a thousand new jobs to his home state, saying “It’s not like we don’t have enough jobs here in Wisconsin.”
  
  
  • Johnson has “double[d] down” on his opposition to bringing more jobs to the Badger State.
