Washington, D.C. — Today, as part of its ongoing eight-figure campaign, Unrig Our Economy is launching a pair of ads highlighting Republican Congressman Rob Bresnahan (PA-08) and Tom Kean Jr.’s (NJ-07) support for congressional Republicans’ scheme to give the ultra-wealthy another massive tax break while forcing everyday people to foot the bill and face higher costs. These ads come as House Republicans push ahead with their disastrous plot to gut vital programs like Medicaid and SNAP to bankroll their billionaire tax breaks just as they head home to hear from their constituents during their two-week recess.
“Congressmen Bresnahan and Kean Jr. aren’t simply sitting on their hands as costs continue to skyrocket – they are actively working to make life more unaffordable by pushing for billionaire tax breaks at working families’ expense.” said Unrig Our Economy spokesperson Kobie Christian. “These ads ensure that Pennsylvanians and New Jerseyans hear the truth: Under Republicans’ tax scheme, billionaires win and working families lose.”
Starting today, these ads will run on cable and broadcast television across Pennsylvania’s eighth Congressional District and on digital and streaming in New Jersey’s seventh Congressional District.

SCRIPT:
How will Congressman Rob Bresnahan’s Tax Plan impact you?
Well, if you’re a billionaire or a big corporation,
you’ll be enjoying huge tax breaks.
And what if you’re a regular, hard-working Pennsylvanian?
Well, you’ll be footing that bill.
Your Congressman, Rob Bresnahan, is pushing to give tax breaks to huge corporations and the ultra-wealthy.
At your expense.
So if you’re hearing this, you’re about to get hit with higher costs, while billionaires pay less.
They don’t need another break, we do.
SCRIPT:
Seems like nobody will tell the billionaires ‘no’ anymore.
Take Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.
He voted ‘yes’ for a plan that would give the ultra-wealthy a big tax break.
Thrilling for the billionaires,
but paid for by tariffs that raise the prices we pay on housing, groceries and more.
New Jersey families can’t afford for life to get more expensive.
Call Tom Kean Jr and tell him:
Stand up to billionaires. Don’t make New Jersey families pay for billionaire tax breaks.
