Democrats must get tough to win Congress and defeat Donald Trump and his MAGA allies in the House and Senate, says longtime activist Patrick Reynolds.
Watch four killer ads he produced to hammer Trump and his MAGA allies in the key House and Senate races that could determine control of Congress.
The grandson of tobacco giant R.J. Reynolds, Patrick became nationally known when he turned against the industry that made his family wealthy and spent decades fighting Big Tobacco -- largely because RJR's products caused his father's death.
Now, he's taken on a new political battle: helping Democrats regain control of Congress.
As leader of the Congress Majority PAC, Reynolds argues that Democrats must fight harder, sharpen their message, and directly confront Trump and the Republican Party as a whole—not simply rely on traditional candidate-versus-candidate advertising.
In this Lean to the Left interview, Reynolds explains what Democrats must do to win the critical House and Senate races that will determine control of Congress.
You will also see four killer political ads Reynolds produced for use in key races across the country. The ads target:
Donald Trump and his MAGA allies
Republican policies on climate change
The economy and cost of living
Disaffected voters who no longer feel loyal to the Democratic Party
Reynolds intends to place these hard-hitting, nationally relevant messages in the battleground races where they could make the greatest difference.
Can Democrats finally stop playing defense, get tough, and win back Congress?
