A new political action committee dedicated to ending the Republican majority in the House unveiled its first major ad buy Wednesday — attacking Republicans for voting to end Medicare while giving wealthy Americans a tax cut.

“House Republicans are breaking the trust our country has with its seniors by ending Medicare as we know it, making them pay more for prescriptions drugs, and by forcing them to turn to the private health insurance market,” said Alixandria Lapp, Executive Director of House Majority PAC, in a statement. “House Republicans have no problem asking seniors, middle class families and veterans to make sacrifices, yet refuse to do the same for big corporations and millionaires who would receive trillions in new tax breaks. We will hold House Republicans accountable for their backwards priorities.”

The six figure radio buy will target Republicans in 10 districts. You can listen to the audio of the ad targeting Rep. Sean Duffy (R-WI) below. He gained notoriety recently by complaining that he has a hard time raising a family on his congressional salary.

The other Republicans are Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ), Rick Crawford (R-AR), Allen West (R-FL), Chip Cravaack (R-MN), Charlie Bass (R-NH), Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY), Joe Heck, R-NV), and Blake Farenthold (R-TX). A separate ad on Spanish language radio will target Rep. Francisco Canseco (R-TX).
