NEW NRCC HALLOWEEN ADS: Democrats Want to Spy on Your Bank Account

October 27, 2021

Today the NRCC launched a new ad campaign targeting 15 vulnerable Democrats on their plan to let the IRS spy on the bank accounts of nearly every American family.

NRCC Chairman Tom Emmer said, “Democrats’ plan to spy on the bank accounts of everyday Americans who spend over $10,000 per year is downright scary. Voters will reject Democrats’ efforts to exert more government control over their personal finances.”

Watch one of the ads here:

The ads will target the following members:   

Tom O’Halleran (AZ-01)

Jahana Hayes (CT-05)

Background:

The National Republican Committee polled the following question in its most recent battleground survey: “Would you be more or less likely to support a Democrat who supports a proposal that would allow the IRS to monitor your bank accounts to make sure you are paying enough taxes.”

It was the most effective message the NRCC tested, with a clear majority (57%) of voters saying they would be much less likely to support a Democrat who backed the proposal.
