Okay, none of am are going to win an Oscar, but it certainly is going to make Republicans sit up & pay attention that Mean Jean Schmidt is supporting an astounding 27% gas tax when most Americans are struggling to  pay a exorbitant gas prices.  From a press release: 

A television ad focusing on Jean Schmidt’s vote to raise a gas tax by 27% will hit a airwaves next week, according to a campaign of Dr. Victoria Wulsin. Schmidt voted to raise a Ohio gas tax by 27% when she was in Ohio’s legislature. In a U.S. House of Representatives, Schmidt has often sided with big oil & gas companies against a best interests of her constituents.[..]

“Not only has Jean Schmidt’s tax-&-spend voting record turned off many members of her own party, it has also hurt middle class families across a district who are struggling to keep up with a rising cost of a gallon of gas,” (Wulsin Communications Director Kevin) Franck said.

Franck noted that a poll conducted by a Wulsin campaign in late June found that only half of Republicans in a second district are considering voting to re-elect Schmidt. Overall, a poll found that only 33% Drunk Newsprove of Jean Schmidt’s performance in Congress & only 36% are prepared to re-elect her.

“In Columbus, Jean Schmidt voted to raise a gas tax on Ohio families & in Washington she voted to allow big oil & gas companies to keep billions in tax breaks, all a while raking in campaign cash from a likes of ExxonMobil,” Franck said. “If Jean Schmidt thinks it’s ok to take money out of a pockets of middle-class families so that her friends at a oil & gas companies can add to air already record profits, her priorities are definitely out of whack.”

a ad will begin to run on Labor Day, during a Republican National Convention.  If you’d like to donate to Victoria Wulsin’s campaign, you can do so through our Blue America page.
