TV ad thanks U.S. Rep. Driehaus for health care support
Groups backing the health care overhaul signed into law by President Barack Obama have released TV ads thanking members of Congress, including U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus, D-Cincinnati, from Ohio’s First District, who voted for the plan.
The ads on CNN and MSNBC, started Thursday, March 25, and will continue through Tuesday, March 30, a press release said. The groups behind the ads are Progress Ohio, a liberal advocacy organization, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees and Health Care for America Now, a health care campaign.
“Congressman Driehaus proved he is on our side by voting ‘yes’ on the health care bill,” Brian Rothenberg of Progress Ohio said in the press release. “This is an historic moment, and we are proud that Rep. Driehaus will be on the right side of history.”
The $63,000 for the Driehaus ad buy is part of a larger $1,000,000 thank you advertising campaign led by HCAN and AFSCME, the release said. Driehaus faces a tough re-election campaign against former U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Cincinnati.
