Bridge Project Launches Effort to Expose Disastrous Local Impact of Trump’s Policies for WI

Promoted Articles Continue Series that Also Focuses on FL, MI, & PA
 
Today, Bridge Project announced the latest round of posts on the group’s digital media site, American Ledger, with new articles exposing the damage caused by Trump’s disastrous policies for communities in Wisconsin. The articles will be promoted through Facebook advertising targeting each to its pertinent county. Reports on Trump’s negative impact on Kenosha, Marquette, Sauk, and Winnebago counties are included in this newest release. 
 
The promoted posts mark the latest in a five-figure campaign to detail the detrimental effects the Trump administration has had on local communities in Wisconsin as well as Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania (previous rounds of articles have already been launched in the latter two states). The promoted county-level campaign in the four states is an initial step in a major $50 million, “hyper-local,” effort to target Trump’s base in key swing states heading into 2020.   
 
“From layoffs to increased healthcare costs to a failure to take meaningful action on the opioid crisis, Wisconsinites can’t afford any more of the disastrous Trump agenda,” said American Bridge Trump War Room Communications Director Jeb Fain. “We’re going to continue ramping our work to spotlight, county-by-county, how badly Trump’s trail of broken promises has hurt communities in Wisconsin and across the country.”

Bridge Project Exposes Local-Level Pain Inflicted by Trump’s Policies in MI

Promoted Articles Continue Series that Also Focuses on FL, PA, and WI
 
With all eyes on Michigan ahead of the Democratic debates tonight and tomorrow, Bridge Project announced a new round of articles on the group’s digital media site, American Ledger, that exposes the pain caused by Trump’s disastrous policies for communities in the state. The articles will be promoted through Facebook advertising targeting each article to the relevant county with the newest articles covering Trump’s betrayal of families in Calhoun, Lake, and Macomb counties – counties which also helped Trump win the state in 2016. 
 
The new promoted posts mark the second round of a five-figure campaign to detail the detrimental effects the Trump administration has had on local communities in Michigan, Florida, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania (where the first round of articles were launched two weeks ago) – initial steps in a major $50 million, “hyper-local,” effort to target Trump’s base in key swing states heading into 2020.   
 
“With this new launch, Bridge is expanding its work to bring to light just how badly Trump has betrayed the state of Michigan with broken promises and failed policies,” said American Bridge Trump War Room Communications Director Jeb Fain. “Donald Trump turned his back on Michiganders. We’re going to drill down, county by county, to showcase the damage this president and his administration have caused and make sure people understand that they can't afford any more of the Trump agenda."

Bridge Project Launches Campaign Spotlighting Trump’s Threat to Health Care

Campaign Begins With Digital Ads in FL, MI, PA, & WI
 
With health care under the continued, imminent threat of repeal by Donald Trump, Bridge Project is launching a new campaign to spotlight the dire impact Trump’s lawsuit to repeal the Affordable Care Act would have on families across the country. The fate of health care is currently in the hands of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The Fifth Circuit, which heard arguments in Trump’s lawsuit to repeal ACA earlier this month, is expected to hand down a decision in the coming weeks, and has been called “one of the most conservative appeals courts in the nation.”
 
If successful, Trump’s repeal lawsuit could totally invalidate the Affordable Care Act which would endanger the coverage of more than 20 million Americans, gut protections for pre-existing conditions, and force seniors to pay higher prices for prescription drugs. 
 
Bridge’s new campaign will begin with digital advertising before transitioning to more non-traditional tactics and direct voter contact methods. Digital ads start running today in Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin that spotlight some of the dire consequences facing families in those states if Trump’s reckless lawsuit is successful. 
 
“From the disastrous repeal bill he pushed during the first year of his presidency to the reckless lawsuit he’s put in the hands of a conservative court today, Donald Trump has made it clear he will never let go of his obsession with placing the health care of countless Americans in serious jeopardy,” said Jeb Fain, Trump War Room Communications Director for American Bridge and Bridge Project. “As long as Donald Trump continues to threaten the health and economic security of the American people, Bridge Project will keep working to shine a light on the president’s disastrous agenda and hold him accountable.”

Bridge Project Exposes Local Impact of Trump’s Disastrous Policies in PA

Articles First in Series That Will Also Focus on Local Impacts in FL, MI, & WI
 
Today, Bridge Project announced the launch of a series of articles on the group’s digital media site, American Ledger, that exposes the economic impact of Donald Trump’s disastrous policies at the local level in Pennsylvania and details how the president has betrayed many of his core voters. The articles will be promoted using Facebook advertising – targeting each article to pertinent counties in the state. The initial launch is the first part of a continuing five figure effort to spotlight, in depth, the detrimental effects that the Trump administration’s policies have had on local communities in Pennsylvania, Florida, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Additional promoted articles will be launched as a part of this effort in these states over the coming weeks. 
 
“In communities across Pennsylvania and across the country, Donald Trump’s destructive agenda is hurting hardworking families,” said American BridgeTrump War Room Communications Director Jeb Fain. “Whether it’s the thousands of residents in Northampton County who can’t afford Trump’s push to gut funding from critical healthcare and retirement programs or the hundreds of workers in Luzerne County who were laid off while their CEOs reaped the rewards of Trump’s tax cut, this president is only making life harder for the people of Pennsylvania. We’re going to keep shining a light on just how much the president’s record of harmful policies and broken promises are causing real damage every day – county by county in key states he needs to win the White House.”
