Lasry Campaign Goes After Ron Johnson’s Long History of Coddling Russia

Milwaukee – Today, the Lasry campaign released a new digital ad calling out Senator Ron Johnson’s long history of coddling Russia, visiting Moscow on the 4th of July to meet with Putin’s cronies, and serving as a conduit for Russian misinformation.

In the ad, Lasry points out Ron Johnson’s public statements and actions where he has served as an apologist for Putin’s plans to reconstitute Russia’s Soviet sphere of influence and questioned U.S. sanctions on Russia, calling them “way out of proportion.”

Lasry’s new ad can be found here.

“Time and time again, Ron Johnson has gone out of his way to support Russia’s interests,” said Alex Lasry. “The FBI even had to visit him and warn him that he was being used as an agent for Russian misinformation and he ignored their warning.”

“For too long, Wisconsin has only had one Senator in Tammy Baldwin who we can count on to represent our values of freedom and democracy in the United States Senate,” said Lasry. “This November, that is going to change. I’m going to defeat Ron Johnson and I will always represent voters as a Wisconsinite and as an American.”

Lasry’s new digital ad will be backed by a six-figure buy. The campaign is currently on the air with its third seven-figure media buy. Lasry’s campaign was the first in this race to go on the air back in November.

The Democratic Primary Election for the United States Senate will be held Tuesday, August 9th, 2022. For more information about Alex Lasry’s campaign, visit www.alexlasry.com.
