An ad paid for by the American Action Network aired Friday night in four congressional districts across the country, thanking GOP representatives for “Repealing Obamacare,” according to a Monday report by the Loudoun Times.
Reps. Barbara Comstock of Virginia, Will Hurd of Texas, David Valadao of California, and David Young of Iowa were all thanked in the national ad campaign.
The ads would have aired after the original vote was scheduled to take place around 3:30 Friday afternoon. The report doesn’t mention when the ad buys took place, but it was presumably before Comstock openly stated she even planned to vote against the bill.
“While this bill addressed important principles like covering pre-existing conditions and not having lifetime limits imposed on the sick, and reducing costs and increasing choices for many working families, the uncertainties in the current version of the bill caused me not to be able to support it today,” Comstock said in an official statement Friday.
Speaker of the House Paul Ryan called off the vote after it became apparent that the House Freedom Caucus would not deliver enough votes Friday, after the 3:30 deadline was passed.
