Shelley Moore Capito F Rating

Ad copy

People ask me why I’m running against Sen. Shelley Moore Capito. The answer is simple: West Virginia deserves representation that reflects our principles. While her name is well known, she’s part of the political dynasty and old-guard system that’s run this state for decades. Conservative groups like CPAC, FreedomWorks, and Heritage Action have given her the same rating as Nancy Pelosi — an F. She skipped a vote to keep boys out of girls’ sports to kill the bill, voted against traditional marriage, has been pro-abortion throughout her career, and supported Red Flag gun confiscation laws. If she were truly standing up for our values, I wouldn’t be running. But she’s not... and that’s why I am.

TacticThe ad uses conservative credibility sources (CPAC, Heritage Action) to paint an incumbent Republican senator as insufficiently conservative, equating her to Nancy Pelosi to trigger primary voter outrage.
