The Dem group Opportunity Wisconsin is out with a new ad accusing U.S. Rep. Bryan Steil, R-Janesville, of voting to allow gas and oil companies to continue price gouging.
The spot is part of a previously announced seven-figure media buy targeting Steil and U.S. Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Prairie du Chien. The new spot targeting Steil is running in the Milwaukee market, though the group didn’t provide specifics of how much it’s spending on it.
The ad features a couple identified as Michael and Jerre, of Delavan.
Michael says gas prices are a huge issue for them, while Jerre says, “We all know the oil companies are ripping us off.” Michael adds Steil voted to give oil companies a huge tax break.
“Bryan Steil had a chance to vote to save us money, and he didn’t,” Jerre says to close the spot. “He went with the oil companies. We’re the ones who are paying the price.”
