The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s first digital spending of the 2020 cycle attacks House Republicans for the shutdown.

The DCCC ads, obtained first by Roll Call, will target 25 House Republicans, specifically blaming them for national security workers missing their second paycheck. The static ads begin running Friday and will be geotargeted on Facebook.

The ad features an image of a helicopter rescue crew with the following text: “The Coast Guard, Border Patrol and TSA just missed another paycheck thanks to Rep. King.”

This messaging reflects a Democratic strategy to try to own the national security narrative — part of a broader argument that government funding, and not President Donald Trump’s border wall, will keep Americans safe. Many freshman members of the new Democratic majority have military or national security backgrounds.

“When you work hard to keep our country safe, you should receive your paycheck, period,” DCCC spokesman Cole Leiter said in a statement. “But now, workers who risk their lives everyday are about to miss another paycheck as Republicans in Washington continue to play games with the lives of hardworking Americans, and their families’ livelihoods and financial security.”
