The page contains a section titled 'What Voters Need to Know' that explicitly instructs what voters should see on broadcast and streaming platforms, which is a clear media-buy directive. It also provides b-roll video and photos, which are ad assets. This combination of directive language and asset provisioning indicates the page is intended as guidance for an outside group to run ads, not as direct voter persuasion or a standard press kit.
