ELPC Action Fund’s Ad Campaign: “Watch What Pres. Trump Does, Not What He Says” for Protecting the Great Lakes and Safe Clean Water

Gary, IN.—This month, the Environmental Law & Policy Center Action Fund launched a public education campaign in northwest Indiana calling on President Trump to back up his words with actions when it comes to protecting safe clean water and the Great Lakes. The 30-second “Watch What President Trump Does, Not What He Says” video ad is airing on broadcast, cable, streaming and digital platforms and running throughout northwest Indiana, including Gary, Hammond, Michigan City and other markets near Lake Michigan’s shoreline. 

“The Great Lakes is where we live, work and play,” said Howard Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center Action Fund. “Hoosiers and all Midwesterners care deeply about protecting the Great Lakes and safe clean drinking water. Polling shows that these water issues are top of mind issues for voters.” 

“The Trump Administration’s track record includes cutting funding for the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and rolling back regulations to protect safe, clean water. As President Trump and EPA Administrator Wheeler keep making many pre-election visits and speeches across the Great Lakes states, let’s ask about what President Trump is doing, not just what he’s saying,” said Learner. 

Watch a 15-second version of the Indiana ad here. The state-specific campaign ads are running across five Midwest states: Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. For more information, see www.elpcactionfund.org/indiana.
