Protecting America Initiative Debuts Six-Figure Ad Urging Lawmakers to Safeguard America’s Food Supply from the CCP
“Keep our food supply made in America.”
The Protecting America Initiative (PAI), a coalition of concerned Americans and public policy experts dedicated to combating the growing influence of Communist China in the United States, today announced a new ad campaign that urges congressional lawmakers to support U.S. agricultural manufacturers and defend our food supply against China’s growing influence.
The 30-second ad, “Together,” is backed by a $225,000 buy and will run on TV and digital platforms in Washington, DC. It will also run on digital platforms in the states and districts of key members of Congress, including:
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD)Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman John Boozman (R-AR)Senator Pete Ricketts (R-NE)Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD)House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA)House Agriculture Committee Chairman GT Thompson (R-PA)House Select Committee on the CCP Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI)Representative Jim Baird (R-IN)Representative Mike Bost (R-IL)Representative Randy Feenstra (R-IA)Representative Dusty Johnson (R-SD)Representative Tracey Mann (R-KS)Representative Dan Newhouse (R-WA)
The ad argues that President Trump has led the way in standing strong against China, but he needs action from Congress. It closes by stating: “It's time for Congress to stand with Trump and American ag manufacturers.”
“Together” follows polling released by PAI in March that outlined how GOP voters are extremely worried about the threat of the CCP and would support a lawmaker less if they voted to outsource our food supply to China.
TRANSCRIPT:
A good meal goes a long way.
Food brings American families together.
China knows that.
It's why American agriculture is under attack.
For China, that's how they control us: taking over our food supply, making us rely on them.
President Trump has been tough on China.
Now he needs Congress with him, for our families and our farmers.
It's time for Congress to stand with Trump and American ag manufacturers.
Keep our food supply made in America.
BACKGROUND:
The Protecting America Initiative in April launched a new policy blueprint of actions Congress can take to combat the CCP at the federal level.PAI in February launched a major digital ad campaign supporting President Trump’s tariffs on China for their role in the drug crisis that cost countless American lives. PAI earlier this year released a multistate ad calling on Republican state legislators to support President Trump’s agenda by taking action against the urgent threat that Communist China poses to American agriculture. During the 2024 Presidential Debate, PAI ran a six-figure ad spot across the seven major battleground states calling to safeguard American manufacturing, food supply, and Border from the CCP and hitting Kamala Harris for “opening the door to China.”PAI hosted President Donald J. Trump in September at a roundtable with Pennsylvania farmers on the need to combat the growing influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on America’s agriculture industry and food supply.
