American Action Network, a nonprofit with ties to House Speaker Paul Ryan, will spend $2 million over the next 11 days in 21 districts running TV ads to thank House Republicans who voted for the GOP's Obamacare repeal bill Thursday.

The ads will thank only members who voted for the legislation. Vulnerable members who voted against the bill — such as Reps. Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Mike Coffman of Colorado and others — won't receive any help from the $7 million fund AAN has set aside for health care.


"AAN doesn’t anticipate spending one penny on members who chose not to side with President Trump and Speaker Ryan in passing conservative, historic health care reforms," AAN Executive Director Corry Bliss said.

The 30-second TV spot will air in the districts of vulnerable members, including Florida's Carlos Curbelo and California's David Valadao; in the New Jersey district of Rep. Tom MacArthur, who crafted a provision key to the bill's eventual passage; and in the districts of Ryan and former House Freedom Caucus Chairman Jim Jordan.

"It’s a bold plan to cut the deficit and provide $1 trillion of job-creating tax relief," the narrator says in the ad. "It puts patients and doctors back in charge of health care, eliminating Washington’s expensive mandates, empowering states to reduce health care costs, and protecting people with pre-existing conditions."

The ad asks viewers to call their members of Congress and thank them for passing the law.

American Action Network has already spent $10 million pushing the legislation with mail, radio, television and digital ad campaigns that reached 110 congressional districts. The nonprofit has also set aside $7 million to spend over the next two months to thank members for their support.

"This is a critical time for Americans to learn the truth about the new health care bill. That’s why AAN is launching the first of several targeted campaigns that will inform Americans about the real benefits of the AHCA," Bliss said. "AHCA will lower costs, provide more choices and protect people with pre-existing conditions. AAN will continue to do its part to take that message to the American people."
