A super PAC called Guardrails Alliance will launch a digital ad campaign Wednesday that seeks to connect Ohio Sen. Jon Husted (R) to campaign donations from technology executives, according to The Hill. The outlet said it received the 30-second ad first, and its reporter Miranda Nazzaro wrote the story.
The Hill reported that the ad highlights Husted's past support for data centers and places it alongside donations he received from tech executives, including venture capitalist Marc Andreessen. According to the report's summary, the ad specifically points to Andreessen's past donations to Husted's Senate run. The summary breaks off before naming the opponent in that race, so the available text does not identify who Husted ran against.
The available material does not include a response from Husted, Andreessen, or Guardrails Alliance to the ad or to the claims it makes. Further details about the campaign's scope, cost, or duration were not included in the report summary.
