DCCC Launches Health Care Facebook Ads in Targeted Districts

Source: Roll Call




Ad highlights GOP health care bill

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is launching a new Facebook ad campaign aimed at nearly all of its 80 GOP targets that highlights the Republican health care bill.

The ads are targeted at Republicans who voted for the bill — and even Republicans who voted against it. The committee is delaying launching the ads in the three Texas districts it is targeting in light of the Hurricane Harvey's devastation. But they will eventually run in those districts.

The ads, provided first to Roll Call, highlight higher costs for seniors under the GOP plan, known as the American Health Care Act. They will run for one week. A DCCC spokesman declined to comment on how much the committee was spending on the Facebook ads.

The sponsored post on Facebook shows a picture of two seniors in a hospital room with the text, “The Republicans’ health care bill would add an age tax to older Americans, allowing them to be charged five times more than younger people. And (lawmaker's name) supported it.” The last sentence will not appear in districts where the GOP House member voted against the health care bill, or in districts with open seat races.

if the DCCC learned deeply mined target marketing on Facebook from the opposition's 2016 playbook
