Newspaper Ad: Almost Anyone Would Be Better Qualified for Deputy Commerce Secretary
This morning, Allied Progress is running a full-page ad in an influential Beltway newspaper to draw attention to the fact that much of Trump Deputy Commerce Secretary nominee Todd Ricketts’ career – from business to politics – can be tied directly to the success of his billionaire father and not his own merit. The ad, which will be paired with targeted digital ads, is a parody of what Ricketts’ LinkedIn profile could look like, lampooning the nominee by ultimately claiming, “almost anyone would be better qualified” for the job. It encourages readers to contact their senators through OpposeRicketts.org.
The full-page ad below runs Thursday, March 2, 2017 on the inside cover of Politico’s print edition.
