  • June 28, 2018 Dear Senator, We, the Undersigned, Are Members of Issue
    June 28, 2018 Dear Senator, We, the undersigned, are members of Issue One’s ReFormers Caucus — a coalition of former members of Congress, Cabinet officials and governors representing all fifty states — writing to strongly urge you to co-sponsor the bipartisan, bicameral Honest Ads Act. The bill is a carefully crafted first step to address foreign meddling in U.S. ​ politics. The Honest Ads Act is also the first bill created in response to outside interference in the 2016 elections. There is encouraging widespread agreement: The Intelligence Community Assessment and both the House and Senate Intelligence Committees concur that foreign actors interfered in the 2016 U.S. elections through the use of paid, online advertisements on some of the largest internet platforms — all to divide Americans and weaken the country. These ads — some of which were paid for in rubles — targeted certain American voters in an attempt to sow discord and manipulate our political system. It is imperative that Congress act now in response to this national security crisis created by Russia and other non-state actors in order to protect our free and fair elections from foreign intrusions in the future. For decades, disclosure rules governing political advertising in print, radio and television have improved transparency and accountability by providing American consumers with vital information. While rules involving these types of media have proven successful, hardly any disclosure rules exist for the digital frontier and online advertisements. The Honest Ads Act simply seeks to update our 20th century laws and requires similar disclosure requirements as television and radio advertisements.

  • Antonia Ferrier, Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell
    Antonia Ferrier, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Named in The Washington Post as “one of the top Republican message gurus on Capitol Hill,” Ms. Ferrier has successfully implemented legislative and communications strategies for Republican Members of Congress in both the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. As Staff Director of the Senate Republican Communications Center (SRCC), Antonia Ferrier brings over a decade’s worth of Capitol Hill, communications and campaign experience to bear in advancing Senate Republicans’ messaging and agenda. She took a leading role in an effective communications strategy on tax reform, working closely with the Trump administration and outside groups to demonstrate the merits of the legislation to the American people. The SRCC is a critical part of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) communications’ operation; it mimics an offensive, campaign-style war room built on the fundamentals of research, rapid response, booking, creative and social media. It also is a central offensive messaging operation for all Senate Republicans. Prior to joining the SRCC, Ms. Ferrier was a Vice President at Forbes-Tate, a bipartisan, Washington, DC government affairs firm where she served a wide array of clients, including Fortune 500 companies, mostly in the tax and health care space. For over four years, Ms. Ferrier was as Senior Advisor and Communications Director to Senate Finance Committee Ranking Member Orrin Hatch (R-UT), playing a critical role in legislative battles over tax, trade and health care policy. Before returning to the Senate, Ms. Ferrier spent close to three years in House Republican leadership – first for Republican Whip Roy Blunt (R-MO) and then for Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH).
