The campaign season has apparently begun for the 2026 congressional election cycle. The Democratic House Majority PAC’s sub-PAC is already going after Congressman Nick Begich of Alaska, who has been in office for two weeks.
The group called House Majority Forward is the same one that tried to keep Alaska’s one congressional seat in Democrat hands in 2024. It has purchased an ad buy to attack the Republican candidate who won, along with nine other Republicans in the U.S. House.
House Majority Forward will specifically attack:
GOP Reps. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (ad here) of Iowa and Ryan Mackenzie (ad here) of Pennsylvania. The ads tie the Republicans to Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s nomination to lead the Department of Health and Human Services.
“Marianette Miller-Meeks is supporting Robert Kennedy Jr., who plans to restrict safe products farmers rely on based on conspiracy theories,” the narrator says the ad. “That will drive up the cost of meat and produce.”
Other ads will shred Zach Nunn of Iowa, Tom Kean of New Jersey, Nick LaLota of New York, Mike Lawler of New York, Rob Bresnahan of Pennsylvania and Scott Perry of Pennsylvania.
Of those targets, only Begich, MacKenzie, and Breshnahan are freshmen who just took the oath of office two weeks ago.
“Over the coming weeks, HMF will launch television and digital ads in order to hold Republicans accountable for refusing to lower costs, and conduct extensive quantitative and qualitative research and polling in order to develop a deeper understanding of how Republican policies are hurting American wallets,” House Majority Forward said.
Alaskans may be polled to find out what is important to them so the group can craft its message around the issues of the day.
It has been longstanding policy that public figures do not have the same level of protection from false attacks as do private citizens. I think that needs to change, given the cesspool level of dishonesty demonstrated by Democrats in this state.
