34N22 Releases New TV Ad Featuring Testimonials Hitting Warnock on Inflation

ATLANTA – Today, 34N22, a political action committee supporting Herschel Walker for U.S. Senate, released a new television ad entitled "Everything's Going Up," hitting Warnock on the devastating impact inflation is having on every Georgia family. The ad will be backed by a seven-figure buy and will begin airing today on broadcast and cable in the Atlanta media market as well as statewide across all digital platforms. The ad features direct-to-camera testimonials from middle to low-income Georgians, many of whom participated in the successful 34N22 grocery and gas giveaways that have received state and national attention in places such as Atlanta, Albany, Columbus, and Macon.

“Too many Georgians are suffering because of Raphael Warnock's disastrous policy decisions that have led to forty-year high inflation and record gas and grocery prices," said 34N22 spokesperson Stephen Lawson. "Warnock has ignored the pain Georgia's families are enduring and has instead doubled down on his failed agenda by passing another big government bailout full of tax increases and wasteful spending— all while Georgians are left to foot the bill. It's time to send someone to Washington who will stand up for Georgians, lower costs, stop the wasteful spending and get our economy back on track —and that's exactly what Herschel Walker will do as our next U.S. Senator.”
