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

Milwaukee—This month, the Environmental Law & Policy Center Action Fund launched a multi-pronged public education campaign in Wisconsin markets along Lake Michigan’s shoreline calling on President Trump to back up his words with actions when it comes to protecting safe clean water and protecting 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 from Milwaukee north to Green Bay. 

“The Great Lakes is where we live, work and play,” said Howard Learner, Executive Director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center Action Fund. “People in Wisconsin 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 30-second version of the Wisconsin ad here, and a 15-second version of the ad here. ELPC Action Fund’s public education campaign in Wisconsin is running across the state, including print ads throughout Southwest Wisconsin’s home-town newspapers and online calling on President Trump to back up his words with actions when it comes to protecting safe clean drinking water, and our local rivers, lakes, marshes and streams. The ELPC Action Fund’s ads are running in five Midwest states: Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin. For more info, please see https://elpcactionfund.org/wisconsin.
