Americans for Prosperity is launching an ad criticizing Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., for voting against the Republican tax reform legislation.
The group, backed by billionaire donors Charles and David Koch, is planning to spend $450,000 for the ad, The Hill is reporting.
It will be running statewide in North Dakota on television and digital outlets beginning Wednesday.
The 30-second spot opens with a narrator saying: "Heidi Heitkamp went to Washington and she promised to look out for us.
"Instead, Heidi took hundreds of thousands from well-connected special interests, then gave special interests billions in taxpayer handouts. Caribbean Rum distillers, Hollywood filmmakers, racehorse owners – they all cashed in. But when Heidi had the chance to help us with real tax cuts, she turned her back, voted no. Heidi Heitkamp – handouts for special interests, higher taxes for us."
A survey earlier this month from Axios and Survey Monkey showed Heitkamp slightly trailing a generic Republican opponent.
