SEIU is launching a Spanish-language ad campaign
against four House Republicans on immigration:
The union is targeting Republican Reps. Cory Gardner and Mike Coffman of Colorado, as well as David Valadao of California and Joe Heck of Nevada with a round of Spanish-language television ads that will run for about two weeks, SEIU officials said. The ad buy is in the mid-six figures. [...]
“The actions of Republicans in Congress, remind me my grandma’s saying: Tell me who you’re with, and I’ll tell you who you are,” the ad’s female narrator says, according to a translation provided by SEIU. “Why? Because Republicans again and again insult our community, and blocked immigration reform.
“And the worst: They have voted against our future and our Dreamers,” the ad continues. “This November, we must go to the polls and vote against Republicans.”
Valadao did co-sponsor immigration reform legislation, but with his party blocking it from coming to a vote, he has to be seen as part of the problem, the union argues.
