NRCC TV Ad exposing Lon Jonson the lavish Detroit carpetbagger
The worst kept secret in Michigan politics is that Lon Johnson doesn’t really live in a fishing cabin in the Kalkaska woods. Instead, he lives in a lavish penthouse hundreds of miles away in downtown Detroit.
The National Republican Congressional Committee is on the airwaves today with its first ad of 2016 in Michigan’s 1st District highlighting Lon Johnson’s status as a lavish Detroit carpetbagger.
NRCC Statement: “Lon Johnson is trying to fool voters into thinking he’s not a liberal carpetbagger living in downtown Detroit. This is the first in a series of television ads that will explain to voters that Lon Johnson is sorely out-of-touch with Northern Michigan families.” –NRCC Spokesman Chris Pack
