The ads feature testimonials from local healthcare workers praising Bresnahan\u2019s efforts to keep hospitals open and support rural healthcare. Historically, party committees faced spending limits, but the recent Supreme Court decision allows for increased political advertising access. The ads are part of broader attempts by the NRCC to capitalize on the new spending rules and bolster Bresnahan against his opponent, Scranton Mayor Paige Cognetti. Democrats, including campaign chairwoman Suzan DelBene, criticized Bresnahan, accusing him of corruption and self-benefiting practices. The campaign emphasizes Bresnahan\u2019s community support and healthcare initiatives, and the ads will air on various media across scranton.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/nrcc\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"466\">National Republican Congressional Committee<\/a> on Wednesday launched its first joint ad campaign with a GOP candidate, months after a Supreme Court ruling lifted caps on coordinated party spending.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The ad campaign, in conjunction with vulnerable Rep.
