The messaging in the ads highlights how policy initiatives by Republicans and President Trump align with each audience’s values – and the ads direct voters to the RNC’s vote.gop, where they can register to vote, check their voter registration and make a plan to vote.

“We are talking with voters in their own languages, meeting with Americans of all backgrounds in their communities, and going after every vote in the home stretch of this campaign. Coupled with our latest ad buy, these unprecedented efforts to engage with minority communities will put us over the edge in closely contested battleground states, propelling President Trump and Republicans to victory,” McDaniel emphasized.

The ads courting African Americans spotlight that Republicans are fighting for HBCUS (Historically Black Colleges and Universities), entrepreneurship, criminal justice reform, and school choice. The ads that reach out to Hispanics highlight that Republicans are fighting for freedom, opportunity, faith, and family. And the ads courting the Asian Pacific community showcase that Republicans are fighting for access to choice in education and to economic resources, and have zero tolerance for discrimination.

The RNC touts that due to their long standing on-the-ground presence in key battlegrounds this cycle, they’ve built relationships with minority communities and expanded their presence nationwide. They believe that this permanent presence will “pay massive dividends” on Election Day on Nov. 3.

Party officials say they have 15 community centers geared at engaging the Black community, 17 community centers focusing on courting the Latino community, and 8 community center dedicated to reaching out to Asian Pacific Americans.
