WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Elect Democratic Women (EDW), the Congressional member-led committee dedicated to electing Democratic women to Congress, announced an independent expenditure investment in support of endorsed candidate Kaela Berg in the MN-02 primary election. EDW is investing $100,000 in an ad that will run on streaming channels and Minneapolis broadcast.
The ad highlights Kaela’s background as a flight attendant, union leader, and state representative dedicated to fighting powerful corporate interests and lowering costs. Kaela knows what it takes to make ends meet because she’s lived it — as a mom who worked three jobs to provide for her family, bought groceries from the dollar store, and lived without health care. She’ll bring that experience to Congress, where she’ll continue fighting for Minnesota families.
“EDW is making this investment in Kaela Berg’s campaign because stopping Trump’s dangerous agenda requires sending fighters like Kaela to Congress,” said Liz Gallagher, Executive Director of Elect Democratic Women. “From fighting for livable wages as a flight attendant and union leader to delivering real results on health care, education, and affordability in the Minnesota legislature, Kaela has spent her career fighting for hard-working families like hers. Elect Democratic Women is proud to support her campaign and help send her to Congress.”
EDW’s ad will air on YouTube and streaming channels from June 30th to July 27th and on Minneapolis broadcast from July 7th to July 27th.
