NRCC Launches Robo Calls Highlighting Staci Appel’s Washington Democrat Talking Points
Appel Is a Copy and Paste Candidate for Steve Israel and the DCCC
WASHINGTON – Today, the National Republican Congressional Committee is launching automated calls to residents in Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District highlighting Staci Appel’s refusal to deviate from generic talking points when speaking with the media.
Since beginning her run for Congress, Appel has repeatedly avoided giving substantive answers to media questions,choosing instead to simply repeat the same worn-out and unfulfilling Washington Democrat talking points that Nancy Pelosi’s campaign team emails her in the mornings. Unfortunately for Iowa families this is more evidence that if Staci Appel is elected to Congress she will be another rubber stamp for Pelosi’s toxic, liberal agenda.
“Instead of communicating her own opinions about key issues to taxpayers in Iowa, Staci Appel regurgitates the DCCC’s liberal and tired rhetoric that is sent to her every morning by Nancy Pelosi’s campaign organization,” said NRCC Communications Director Andrea Bozek. “Appel owes it to voters to stop relying on cookie-cutter talking points and start substantively explaining her support for Pelosi’s liberal agenda.”
FYI, a similar version of this release below went out to the following districts: Amanda Renteria (CA-21 LIVE CALLS), Ann Callis (IL-13), John Lewis (MT-AL, LIVE CALLS), Aimee Belgard (NJ-03 LIVE CALLS), Sean Eldridge (NY-19) Aaron Woolf (NY-21), Kevin Strouse (PA-08) John Foust (VA-10) and Nick Casey (WV-02).

Script as follow:
“I’m calling from the National Republican Congressional Committee with an urgent message about Democrat Staci Appel. Appel wants to be elected to Congress, but when reporters ask her about where she stands on the issues she just repeats generic talking points from Nancy Pelosi and her campaign team. Voters deserve to know why Appel supports ObamaCare and what fixes, if any, she would offer if elected. And will Appel call for an independent special prosecutor to investigate the abuses and cover ups at the IRS? Call Staci Appel today at 515-421-2542 and tell her to start answering reporters’ questions. This call was paid for by the National Republican Congressional Committee and was not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. 202-479-7000.”
