New Ad in VA-07: Nick Freitas’ Record of Protecting Special Interests Instead of Virginia’s Kids with Autism |
| House Majority PAC released a new ad in Virginia’s 7th District connecting the dots between Nick Freitas’ pattern of taking thousands of dollars in campaign contributions from special interests, then voting for their benefit–even if it meant being the lone vote against expanding insurance for kids with autism. Twice. Fretias also stood with the special interests against a bill requiring background checks for daycare workers, showing even the safety of Virginia’s kids is up for sale.
“Expanding insurance for kids with autism and making sure our children are safe at daycare centers are really not controversial ideas, but Nick Freitas found reasons to vote against both of them,” said Abby Curran Horrell, executive director of House Majority PAC. “After taking thousands of dollars from special interests, Nick Freitas voted against bipartisan bills more than a hundred times, showing he’s not interested in protecting even the most vulnerable children if it comes at the expense of his special interest donors.” The ad is available here and the script is below. The ad will run in Richmond and is supported by a budget of $360,000. House Majority PAC will also be running the ad, “Just One,” in the Washington, DC market with a budget of $840,000. “Pattern” TV :30 It’s a troubling pattern. Nick Freitas took thousands from corporate special interests … and voted with them. Against bipartisan bills … a hundred times. Nick Freitas was the only legislator — in either party — to vote ‘no’ on health insurance coverage for children with autism. Twice. He even voted ‘no’ on background checks for daycare employees. Nick Freitas. A pattern of defending special interests … to the extreme. House Majority PAC is responsible for the content of this advertising. |
