NRCC Launches Paid Ad Campaign Targeting Vulnerable House Democrats for Blocking Military Pay

October 15, 2025

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) launched a paid advertising campaign targeting 26 vulnerable House Democrats for allowing the government to shut down and put military pay in jeopardy.

“Out of touch House Democrats pulled a partisan stunt to appease their radical base while throwing our brave men and women in uniform under the bus. Voters won’t forgive this betrayal.” – NRCC Spokesman Mike Marinella

SCRIPT:

While our troops stand guard, Democrats shut down the government.

They deserve better than being used as pawns in Democrats’ games.

But because of Democrats’ shutdown, our troops’ paychecks are at risk.

Leaving their families wondering how to afford groceries, rent, or childcare.

While our military shows up to the front lines to do their jobs – Democrats refuse to do theirs.

It’s a betrayal. Dereliction of duty.

Tell Democrats: Stand with our troops. Stop the shutdown.
