Most of the eyes will be on the GOP’s reconciliation machinations – the Senate’s work on its bill and the House’s reaction.

Unrig Our Economy goes after Kean, Bacon

Liberal outside group Unrig Our Economy is running two new ads targeting vulnerable House Republicans on Medicaid. The ads, part of a long-term $10 million ad buy, go after Reps. Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.) and Don Bacon (R-Neb.).

The Kean ad is a 30-second TV spot featuring a constituent concerned about her family member’s well-being.

“I never expected to be in the position of having to worry about what happens to my mother-in-law if Medicaid ends,” the woman says. “She did everything right. But she didn’t plan for Congressman Tom Kean Jr. to cut Medicaid.”

In a new radio ad running in Nebraska, a local nonprofit leader criticizes Bacon for supporting the House GOP reconciliation bill. Bacon’s constituent says the reconciliation package will lead to thousands of people losing health care.

“Don Bacon is walking around North Omaha parades with the same people that he’s leaving behind,” the woman says in the ad.
