 Club for Growth President Chris Chocola: “Brian Ellis is a tax-hiking, corporate welfare-loving, big-spending politician. A record like that belongs in the Democratic primary, not the Republican one.”  

Washington, DC – Today, Club for Growth Action announced a new TV and radio ad campaign in Michigan’s 3rd congressional district. The ads criticize congressional candidate Brian Ellis for supporting tax and spending increases, his record on the East Grand Rapids school board, and his time doling out corporate welfare on the Michigan Strategic Fund. The Club for Growth PAC has endorsed incumbent Congressman Justin Amash for re-election. 

The TV ads will start running tomorrow on broadcast and cable throughout Michigan’s third Congressional District. The radio ads will also run throughout the district.

“Club for Growth Action strongly supports Justin Amash because he fights for economic freedom and individual liberty,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “In Congress, Justin has demonstrated time and time again a willingness to stand up to the big spenders in both parties. Club members are excited to help re-elect him this November.” 

“Brian Ellis is a tax-hiking, corporate welfare-loving, big-spending politician. A record like that belongs in the Democratic primary, not the Republican one,” added Chocola.

GOLF. 

GREAT GAME.  

BUT DO WE WANT OUR TAX DOLLARS SPENT ON A LUXURY PRIVATE GOLF RESORT? 

THAT’S WHAT BRIAN ELLIS SUPPORTED AS A MEMBER OF JENNIFER GRANHOLM’S MICHICAN STRATEGIC FUND. 

THAT’S NOT ALL. 

BRIAN ELLIS WASTED OUR MONEY ON CORPORATE WELFARE TO PROMOTE PRODUCTION OF EXOTIC GOURMET MUSHROOMS AND PET FOOD. 

YA CAN’T MAKE THIS STUFF UP. 

ON THE EAST GRAND RAPIDS SCHOOL BOARD, BRIAN ELLIS RAISED PROPERTY TAXES, SPENT OBAMA STIMULUS MONEY, AND LEFT MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR DEFICITS. 

SAME OLD BIG GOVERNMENT STORY. 

ONLY THIS TIME, IT’S DIFFERENT. 

NOW BRIAN ELLIS IS RUNNING FOR CONGRESS. 

JUST WHAT WE NEED IN WASHINGTON — ANOTHER BIG TAXING, BIG SPENDING, CORPORATE WELFARE LOVING POLITICIAN. 

SAY NO TO BRIAN ELLIS.
