ELPC Action Fund’s Ad Campaign: “Watch What Pres. Trump Does, Not What He Says”

for Protecting the Great Lakes and Safe Clean Water

Toledo—This month, the Environmental Law & Policy Center Action Fund launched a public education campaign in northwest Ohio calling on President Trump to back up his words with actions when it comes to protecting safe clean water and the Great Lakes. The “Watch What President Trump Does, Not What He Says” video ad campaign is airing on broadcast, cable, streaming and digital platforms and running throughout northwest Ohio, including Toledo and other markets near Lake Erie’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. “Ohioans 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 in Toledo, Grand Rapids and other Great Lakes areas, let’s ask about what President Trump is doing, not just what he’s saying,” said Learner. 

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