GOP candidate for US House runs ad in Black-owned paper "Vote November 6"

Republican candidate for Congress publishes ad in Black-owned newspaper telling its Black audience to Republican candidate for Congress publishes ad in Black-owned newspaper telling its Black audience to "Vote November 6."

The problem? Election day is actually November 5.

It's weird the same ad got the date correct in every other newspaper? 🤔

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has started the process of looking into investigating the ad for intentional voter interference.

Tom Barrett is running for Congress as a Republican in the seat currently held by Congresswoman @ElissaSlotkin, who is running for U.S. Senate in Michigan.

Michigan's 7th Congressional District is one of the most competitive in the nation.

The Democrat running to replace Elissa Slotkin is @CurtisHertelJr, who as Governor Gretchen Whitmer’s Director of Legislative Affairs, led the state through passing bipartisan legislation that cut taxes for seniors and working families, expanded workers’ rights, and won additional new investments in advanced manufacturing that will bring good-paying jobs to Mid-Michigan and across the state.

He was also instrumental in passing legislation that repealed the archaic 1931 law that banned abortion in Michigan, even in cases of rape and incest.
