Posted public messaging guidance consistent with red-boxing

Detected on https://bohannanforcongress.com/media-kit  · classifier confidence 0.95 · model fireworks/deepseek-v4-flash

The page, though labeled 'Media Kit,' contains explicit instructions for paid media placement: broadcast, OTT/CTV, digital, and direct mail, targeting specific voter demographics with prescribed messages. This is not standard press kit content or voter persuasion; it is guidance for an outside group to execute independent expenditures.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • Voters in Iowa’s First Congressional District should see districtwide on broadcast (Quad Cities, Cedar Rapids, and Des Moines), OTT/CTV streaming, and digital – Mariannette Miller-Meeks sold us out.
    Directive specifying media channels and geography for an outside group to run ads.
  • registered Independent and registered Republican college-educated women voters between the ages of 18 and 50 need to exclusively read only in the mail — content detailing Miller-Meeks’ extreme stance on abortion access in Iowa.
    Segmented audience with specific channel (mail) and message, typical of red-box guidance to outside spenders.

Schedule E is corroboration, not the trigger — a filed expenditure is late evidence, and our detection timestamp reflects when we crawled, which can lag the actual posting. Supporting IE dated on or after our detection day: $0. Dates are FEC expenditure dates.
