Posted public messaging guidance consistent with red-boxing

The memo is explicitly addressed to 'Interested Parties' and provides prioritized media-buy instructions for specific geographic markets (Portland, Seattle), specifying channels (broadcast, cable, streaming, digital, mail) and message themes. The 'Framing guidance' section further directs how the communications should be positioned. This is classic red-box guidance intended for outside spenders, not voter-facing content or press strategy.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • The top priority is for voters in the Portland media market to see ads on broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital as well as read mail about the fact that:
    Segmented audience (Portland media market) paired with explicit channel directives (broadcast, cable, streaming, digital, mail) and prescribed message themes.
  • The second priority is for voters in the Portland media market to see ads on broadcast, cable, streaming, and digital as well as read mail about the fact that:
    Repeats the same media-buy instruction structure for a second message priority.
  • Framing guidance • These communications should land as pocketbook and accountability arguments, not overly partisan or national political attacks.
    Directive language on how ads should be framed, addressed to whoever runs the ads.
  • It is helpful but not essential for voters to receive communications in the Seattle media market.
    Geography cue that only makes sense as media-buy guidance to an outside group.
