Following a failed campaign launch and featuring an operation propped up by billionaires and corporate elite donors and shady campaign finance practices, Governor Ron DeSantis is limping into North Carolina tonight for a speech at the GOP State Convention in Greensboro.
To help introduce the Governor’s extreme agenda to North Carolinians, DeSantis Watch, a project of DW PAC, is launching paid digital ads today through Sunday which detail his failed education policies and his near total ban on abortion.
In order to outline Ron DeSantis’ real blueprint for education, an ad titled “Succeed ‘‘ lays out the Governor’s record of bullying LGBTQ+ students, banning books, and attacking the teaching of honest history in public schools.
When it comes to access to reproductive health care, “Private” highlights how Ron DeSantis’ near total ban on abortion puts politicians in charge of the care you receive instead of keeping those decisions between a patient and their doctor.
This ad buy in North Carolina follows previous digital and radio campaigns during the Governor’s visits to New Hampshire and South Carolina in April, as well as broadcast television, digital, and radio flights in Iowa during DeSantis’ visit in early May.
“Whether it is the freedom to make private health care choices or determine what books your children can read, Ron DeSantis believes politicians, not you, should be making those decisions,” said DeSantis Watch Communications Director Anders Croy. “Every American can agree that our children deserve the resources they need to succeed and to learn honest history in the classroom, but Ron DeSantis is diverting billions in taxpayer dollars to private corporate schools and banning books that don’t fit his political agenda. And while people need leaders who put their health, safety, and real life needs first, Ron DeSantis’ near total abortion ban puts lives at risk. North Carolinians, and our country, cannot afford Ron DeSantis’ extreme agenda.”
“Succeed” – Transcript
Narrator: For Ron DeSantis, freedom is nothing but a campaign slogan.
Free states don’t bully LGBTQ+ kids, whitewash Black history, or ban books.
Real freedom means funding our public schools so every child can succeed.
We need honest, quality education in North Carolina public schools, not the DeSantis agenda of discrimination and division.
“Private” – Transcript
Narrator: Private health care decisions should be made by those seeking care, not politicians, including when it comes to abortion care.
But Ron DeSantis signed a near-total abortion ban.
This is wrong.
North Carolina needs leaders who will put our health, safety, and real-life needs first and leave private healthcare decisions private.
