NRCC Launches Ad Targeting Marie Gluesenkamp Perez for Refusing to Stand for Americans

March 19, 2026

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) launched a paid advertising campaign targeting Marie Gluesenkamp Perez and House Democrats for refusing to stand for American citizens. 

Not only did Marie Gluesenkamp Perez refuse to stand up for American citizens during the State of the Union, Gluesenkamp Perez voted yesterday AGAINST deporting illegal immigrants who abuse taxpayer resources, including Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid.

“When it mattered most, Marie Gluesenkamp Perez stayed seated. Washington voters will continue to be reminded of this moment when Gluesenkamp Perez and House Democrats stayed glued to their seats while they had the easy choice of standing for American citizens over criminal illegal immigrants.” – NRCC Spokesman Christian Martinez

SCRIPT:

Democrats had a chance to stand up for Americans.
President Trump asked Congress, “Stand up if you believe the government’s priority should be protecting Americans over illegal immigrants.” 
“American citizens, American taxpayers, American children.”
“All the Republicans stood up and clapped.”
“Democrats wouldn’t stand up.”
Not only did Democrats stay seated; they made a statement.
Spineless, shameless, completely out of touch.
If they won’t stand up for America, they have no business leading it.
