WASHINGTON — Today, Heritage Action, a national conservative grassroots organization, announced a six-figure TV ad buy to be aired statewide in Georgia and Washington, D.C. during Game 3 of the MLB World Series on Friday. The ad thanks Governor Kemp and the Georgia state legislature for making it easier to vote and harder to cheat in their historic election reform bill and applauds them for standing against the woke mob, which sought to smear Georgia’s common-sense bill.
Executive Director Jessica Anderson made the following statement:
“In April, woke MLB executives pulled the All-Star Game out of Georgia to punish Georgians over the state’s common-sense election integrity law. Their stunt cost local businesses and workers an estimated $100 million in revenue, and was justified based on lies from the White House and spin from Stacey Abrams, who continues to push the Big Lie that her own Gubernatorial election was stolen.
But the people of the Peach State didn’t cave to their bullying, and Georgia’s leaders didn’t back down on election integrity. This is truly poetic justice for Georgians. Despite the best efforts of the woke mob, the Braves are bringing the World Series to the state for the first time since 1999, and the silence from woke executives is deafening. They’ve learned an important lesson: when you go woke, you go broke.
Georgians thank Governor Kemp and legislators for standing up to the woke mob and making it easy to vote and hard to cheat in the Peach State.”
Excerpt from the 30-second ad:
“Georgia passed election security reform, and Major League Baseball punished the state. They canceled Atlanta's All-Star Game… costing Georgia's economy $100 million, now baseball is back for the World Series and the same woke executives will be here to hand out the trophy.
Why is there no baseball boycott now? Even the MLB knows the truth… Georgia's new election reform law is fair and guarantees the equal rights of every voter. Georgia did it right. Thank Governor Kemp and legislators for defending fair elections.”
Background:
- Immediately after the Georgia Senate runoffs, Heritage Action began educating its established army of grassroots volunteers on election integrity best practices.
At the beginning of March, Heritage Action activated those grassroots to work with their legislators and governor’s office to promote meaningful, common-sense election reforms.
Heritage Action also invested $1 million in March to support lawmakers as they worked to secure Georgia’s elections, including a $600,000 TV ad buy. On March 22, the legislature passed SB 202, and Gov. Kemp immediately signed the historic election reform.
In July, Heritage Action released a 60-second ad during the MLB All-Star Game, defending the state’s Election Integrity Act from misleading attacks by the Left.
In July, Jessica Anderson called on Stacey Abrams and her Fair Fight PAC to compensate Georgians for the estimated $100 million in revenue losses from the relocation of the MLB All-Star Game.
