EXCLUSIVE: Sen. Ron Johnson, NRSC Partner For Seven-Figure Ad Campaign Focusing On Spike In Violent Crime
Republican Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) partnered to launch a seven-figure ad campaign throughout the state Wednesday which focuses on the spike in violent crime and Democrats’ efforts to defund the police.
The Daily Caller first obtained the advertisement which mentions the riots in Kenosha, the Waukesha Christmas parade attack, the rising homicide rate in Milwaukee, the Defund the Police movement, and the releasing of criminals on low to no bail, all happening in his home state.
“Democrats have created the worst crime wave in decades,” the ad says. “Sen. Ron Johnson is standing with our brave law enforcement officers to keep Wisconsin families safe. And he wants to keep violent criminals behind bars, where they belong.”

“Democrats have supported a soft-on-crime, defund the police agenda for far too long. Just take a look at the rising crime rates across our country. In Wisconsin, there has been a 70% increase in homicides since 2019. The safety of Wisconsinites needs to come before the Democrats’ radical political agenda and their D.C. special interest groups,” NRSC Chairman Rick Scott told the Daily Caller before the video was released.
