Incumbent U.S. Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) has partnered with the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) to release a new advertisement centered around “the increase in violence and crime ensuing from the radical Democrats’ agenda.”
The ad is part of a seven-figure television and digital ad buy that will be broadcast across Wisconsin. According to a press release from Johnson’s campaign, this is the first time in the 2022 electoral cycle that a individual’s campaign and the NRSC have partnered.
Specifically, the ad highlights the riots that arose in Kenosha after the shooting of Jacob Blake, the Waukesha Christmas parade attack, homicides in Milwaukee, the Defund the Police movement, and “the releasing of criminals on low to no bail.”
