Opportunity Wisconsin, a liberal organization that frequently criticizes Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI), has released another TV ad that centers around his personal finances.

The new ad is part of a six-figure ad buy that will run on both digital platforms and broadcast and cable television in the Green Bay, Madison, Milwaukee, and Wausau markets. According to the group, it has spent more than $4.5 million on television ads that target Johnson since early 2021.

The group has previously claimed that Johnson’s wealth has doubled since he took office in 2011. They have also cited a Congressional Integrity Project investigation that claims he pushed a “special tax loophol00e that benefited his own family’s business.

The new ad echoes these arguments, with a woman saying that ”Ron Johnson should be helping families like us, but he seems to have helped himself again.”
