is a republican Hammering Michigan Democratic Senate candidate Alyssa Slotkin On immigration — two new ads released Wednesday attempt to tie her to Biden Harris’ open borders policy.
Both ads target three-term Congresswoman Slotkin for endorsement positions while serving in the House.
One ad features Livingston County Sheriff Mike Murphy, and approaches illegal immigration from a law and order perspective. Last month, Murphy’s department hosted former President Donald Trump for a speech focusing on crime and illegal immigration.
“As sheriff, I see every day how illegal immigration affects Michigan,” Murphy said in the 30-second spot. “I hold Kamala Harris and Alyssa Slotkin responsible.”
Murphy continues: “Harris and Slotkin have opened our borders to illegals. And then they reward them with taxpayer-funded benefits. These liberal policies are a threat to families and taxpayers.
A second focus is on illegal immigration from an economic perspective. Among them is Vanessa Holden, a mother of four, from Weberville — just outside of Lansing. Inflation has made daily life expensive.
“Higher prices are costing us thousands more every year,” says Holden. “And while we pay more, Congresswoman Alyssa Slotkin gives our money away to illegal immigrants.”
Both ads tout Slotkin’s March 2021 vote in favor of Biden’s Covid-19 stimulus package, the American Rescue Plan. The Michigan House delegation voted for the American Rescue Plan down party lines, with seven Republicans in favor and seven Democrats opposed. Both senators, Dems Debbie Stabeno and Gary Peters, also supported the bill.
“Alyssa Slotkin and Kamala Harris care more about helping illegal immigrants than helping Michiganders struggling with rising costs,” said National Republican Senatorial Committee spokeswoman Maggie Abboud.
Slotkin will face Republican former congressman Mike Rogers in the November election.
The ad campaign is part of a $100 million Senate Republican effort to flip the upper chamber. While Slotkin has been leading in the polls And with the fundraising advantage, the race has tightened. The Cook Political Report lists Slotkin-Rogers as a toss up, a change from lean-Democrat.
