Ad copy

Absolutely unbelievable. My opponent, Shelley Moore Capito, told reporters she is siding with Senate Democrats to defund ICE in the upcoming federal spending bill... a move that is completely out of touch with West Virginians. As your U.S. Senator, I will vote to fully fund ICE, secure our border, and stand up for law and order. West Virginia deserves a senator who puts public safety and the rule of law first, not reckless Washington politics.

Standout elementShelley Moore Capito using a hair dryer to melt an ice block branded with the ICE agency logo — a staged visual metaphor for 'defunding ICE'
TacticThe ad uses a visually absurd but memorable image of the opponent literally melting ICE to make an abstract policy stance viscerally concrete and damaging for a conservative West Virginia audience.
