AAN Launches 1 Million Robocall Campaign Ahead Of Tax Reform Vote

Campaign will target 29 congressional districts nationwide

WASHINGTON – Ahead of Congress’ upcoming vote on a final tax reform package, American Action Network’s Middle-Class Growth Initiative (MCGI) launched a 1 million robocall campaign to continue to build momentum for tax reform. The district-specific calls highlight the benefits of pro-growth tax reform, and urge recipients to encourage their representative to vote for the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act next week.

The campaign comes following the public House and Senate Conference Tax Reform meeting and ahead of an anticipated vote on final passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. View the list of districts targeted here.

“Congress is on the verge of delivering historic tax reform to help American families,” said Corry Bliss, AAN Executive Director. “By lowering rates for American small businesses and providing a $1,200 tax cut for middle-class families, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act will spur economic growth, create jobs, and increase wages. AAN applauds all the hard work and countless hours members of Congress have devoted to the cause so far, and urges lawmakers to push pro-growth tax reform over the finish line before the new year.”

AAN has been the highest spending outside group in the effort to pass meaningful tax reform, and launched the Middle-Class Growth Initiative in August to promote pro-growth tax reform passage. The multi-pronged effort, now totaling over $24 million, has included advertising on television, radio, digital, direct mail, and mobile billboards in over 60 congressional districts across the country.
