Digital Campaign Targets McCormick for Ties to Fentanyl in PA Senate Race

"When McCormick Wins, Pennsylvania Loses"

WASHINGTON (September 16, 2024) – Bob Casey’s Senate campaign is receiving continued outside advertising support from a pro-environment Super PAC.

NRDC Action Votes is launching a $500,000 independent expenditure online campaign statewide that hammers Dave McCormick—a specialist in taking subsidies, cutting jobs and pocketing profits—for being poised to block 200,000 clean energy jobs across Pennsylvania if elected to the U.S. Senate.

“Dave McCormick’s career highlight as the CEO and Bridgewater was investing and profiting off Chinese fentanyl and outsourcing Pennsylvania clean energy jobs,”’ said Jocelyn Steinberg, Director of NRDC Action Votes. ”Now he wants to sell out Pennsylvania’s clean energy future by opposing major climate change initiatives and once again Pennsylvania workers and families will be forced to bear the cost in more lost jobs and higher insurance and energy bills. McCormick should be held accountable for putting corporate greed ahead of the commonwealth not promoted to the U.S. Senate.”

Senator Casey, a Scranton native, voted for laws that create a new clean energy workforce, bring clean energy tax credits to families and businesses statewide, and keep Pennsylvania at the forefront of our clean energy future.

In contrast, McCormick outsourced jobs at his company. He also opposes the infrastructure and inflation reduction laws, two major clean energy initiatives that are creating millions of U.S.-based jobs across the country and in Pennsylvania. McCormick wants to keep the U.S. dependent on fossil fuels.
