Club for Growth President Chris Chocola: “Mike Simpson’s words speak for themselves.” 

Washington, DC - Today, Club for Growth Action announced a new TV ad in the race for Congress in Idaho’s Second Congressional District. The ads use Mike Simpson’s own words about his support for the $700 billion Wall Street bailout against him. The Club for Growth PAC has endorsed attorney Bryan Smith for the seat. 

The TV ads are backed by a six-figure buy and will start running tomorrow on broadcast and cable throughout Idaho’s second Congressional District.

“Mike Simpson lied to Idaho voters about his support for the $700 billion Wall Street bailout, and now it’s time to hold him accountable,” said Club for Growth President Chris Chocola. “Liberal Republicans like Mike Simpson are exactly why we have $17 trillion in debt, and no amount of desperate attacks on conservative Bryan Smith can change that fact. Mike Simpson’s words speak for themselves.” 

Script for “Got That?” (TV :30)
