Governor Tony Evers’ campaign released two new ads this week promoting Evers’ investment in the expansion of high-speed internet access across the state. Both ads are part of a $3.5 million buy that runs through the August 9th primary. The ads are the tenth and eleventh that Evers has run so far in his bid for re-election. Both ads are premised on Evers efforts to expand high-speed internet and make the claim that Evers “expanded high-speed internet to over 300,000 homes and businesses across [Wisconsin].”
The first ad features Evers touting his administration’s efforts to expand high-speed internet to more than 300,000 homes and businesses; he goes on to say he wants to double that number in the next four years. “Small businesses and families in rural communities need access to high-speed internet to keep up with the world,” Evers concludes. The second ad features a farmer identified as Scott from Dodgeville who talks about the importance of high-speed internet to farmers and the regular use of internet technology in farming. The ad closes with Scott saying “Tony Evers is doing the right thing for Wisconsin.”
The ads come on the heels of a newly released report from the state’s broadband access task force that calls for continued state funding to expand high-speed internet access to all homes and businesses by 2025.
