The Club for Growth, a conservative advocacy group, is launching new ads targeting two Republican lawmakers: Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) and Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.). The ads are part of the group’s efforts to push President Donald Trump’s "one big, beautiful bill," although the exact nature of the legislation remains unclear.
Key Points
- The Club for Growth has stated that both Perry and Lawler should support Trump’s proposal.
- The group has been vocal in its support of conservative policies and often challenges lawmakers who do not align with its views.
- Recently, the Club for Growth has criticized several Republicans who have opposed or expressed reservations about Trump’s plan, including Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.).
Background on Lawmakers
-
Scott Perry: Facing a primary challenge from state Sen. Doug Mastriano in Pennsylvania’s 10th Congressional District. Mastriano was endorsed by former President Donald Trump in 2022 but lost his bid for governor that year.
-
Mike Lawler: Won his seat last year by defeating Democrat Mondaire Jones in New York’s 17th Congressional District by just over 1 percentage point. In a recent interview with CNN, Lawler expressed openness to supporting some elements of Trump’s plan but raised concerns about certain provisions, stating, "I think there are some good ideas that we can build on."
Implications
The Club for Growth is likely hoping that their new ads will pressure both Perry and Lawler to adopt a more hardline stance in support of Trump’s proposal. It remains to be seen how these lawmakers will respond—whether they will yield to pressure from the Club for Growth or continue to express reservations about specific aspects of Trump’s plan. Only time will tell.
