The leader of the most important House GOP super PAC said Tuesday that the group will double-down on tried-and-true tactics for electing Republicans in 2018: tying Democratic candidates to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.
The Congressional Leadership Fund, which has ties to House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), plans to spend $100 million before next year’s midterm elections, and Executive Director Corry Bliss said in a memo released Tuesday that he sees no reason to abandon a strategy that has paid dividends for six years — most recently in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, where CLF advertising featuring Pelosi (D-Calif.) and her San Francisco district helped define and defeat Democratic candidate Jon Ossoff in this month’s special election there.
“During the 2018 cycle, CLF will spend millions of dollars highlighting Nancy Pelosi’s toxic agenda and reminding voters across the country that Democratic candidates are nothing more than rubber stamps for her out-of-touch, liberal policies,” Bliss said in the memo.
Supporting that decision is not only the result in Georgia, where CLF funded $7 million worth of mailers and TV spots featuring cable cars and hippies, but a spate of internal polling that CLF shares in the memo for the first time. In 11 districts Democrats have identified as 2018 targets, Pelosi’s favorability is at least 10 points underwater. In one district — Nebraska’s 2nd, where Democrat Brad Ashford is seeking to reclaim the seat he lost last year to Republican Don Bacon — 60 percent of those polled had an unfavorable impression of Pelosi.

Pelosi in Power = 2 years
GOP in Power = 6 years
Governing Advantage = Pelosi
