ABM targets GOP in shutdown-themed ads
A political organization that backs DFL candidates is launching an advertsing campaign tied to the one-year anniversary of last summer's state government shutdown.
The Alliance for a Better Minnesota said today that it will run newspaper and online ads in targeted legislative districts. According to a news release, the ads will blame Republican legislators for causing the shutdown, which lasted 20 days.
"We must remember the extremism that caused legislative Republicans to reject fair compromises on the road to the state shutdown," wrote ABM executive director Carrie Lucking.
The newspaper ads will also feature the names of Minnesotans who have signed the organization's "No More Shutdowns" petition.
