No longer present. When this page was last checked, on September 3, 2026, this guidance was not found. The finding remains on the ledger and the archived evidence below is preserved — guidance taken down after drawing notice is itself part of the record.

The page is labeled 'Media Kit' but contains explicit instructions for paid advertising: it tells outside groups what ads to run (positive for Manley, negative for opponents), on which channels (TV, CTV/OTT, mail, digital), and for which audience (Democratic primary voters). It also provides b-roll and photos with a Creative Commons license, enabling ad production. This matches the definition of red-box guidance, as the intended reader is an outside spender, not voters or journalists.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • Democratic primary voters need to see immediately TV, CTV/OTT, mail, and digital ads that show Elijah Manley is a new generation of leadership
    Directive language specifying audience, channels, timing, and message for paid ads.
  • Additionally, Democratic primary voters need to see TV, CTV/OTT, mail, and digital ads that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dale Holness and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick are the career politicians and Washington insiders
    Further directive for negative ads targeting opponents, with same channel and audience specification.
  • B-ROLL
    Provision of b-roll footage for ad production, a classic red-box signal.
  • Free to use or reproduce under Creative Commons 4.0 License.
    Explicit permission for outside groups to use media assets, indicating intended use by independent spenders.

What Voters Need To Learn

Democratic primary voters need to see immediately TV, CTV/OTT, mail, and digital ads that show Elijah Manley is a new generation of leadership who has lived the struggles working families face — and has spent his life fighting the rigged system that created them. Elijah Manley grew up homeless in Broward County and to climb out from under poverty and student debt, Elijah worked every job he could. He’s spent his life fighting back against the politicians who rigged the system — taking on the gun lobby after Parkland, and standing up to Ron DeSantis and MAGA when they tried to stop our elections, and winning. Now he’s running because the leaders of yesterday created today's problems — and Elijah is the next generation ready to fix them:

In the wealthiest country in the world, no one should go bankrupt or die because they can't afford to see a doctor — that's why Elijah will fight to pass Medicare for All and cancel medical debt. Insurance companies and corporate middlemen shouldn't get to decide who lives or dies.

While too many Democrats have stayed silent, Elijah Manley has been clear: what is happening in Gaza is a genocide, and American taxpayer dollars should not fund it. In Congress, he will fight to condition U.S. aid to Israel on full compliance with international law — and redirect those resources back into our communities.

Trump's masked ICE agents are tearing families apart and terrorizing immigrant communities — Elijah believes that is wrong, and he will fight to abolish ICE.

Washington is rigged for billionaires and corporate insiders, and Elijah isn't afraid to say it — he'll fight to ban dark money in politics, overturn Citizens United, and end the gerrymandering that keeps corrupt politicians in power.

Additionally, Democratic primary voters need to see TV, CTV/OTT, mail, and digital ads that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dale Holness and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick are the career politicians and Washington insiders whose corruption and self-dealing built a system rigged against working families.

Voters need to know that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been a career politician in Washington for more than 20 years — and has used her office to enrich herself. She was caught violating federal stock disclosure law four times and bought stock in an industry she helped oversee. And she is the payday lending industry's most reliable ally in Congress — taking over $68,000 from payday lenders who charge 304% interest and target Black neighborhoods, earning the nickname "Debt Trap Debbie" for backing what the NAACP calls "modern-day redlining." In 2011, she also advocated for a proposed ICE detention facility to be built in Broward County.

Voters need to know that Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was federally indicted and found by the House Ethics Committee to have committed wrongdoing — for funneling millions in federal COVID/FEMA funds into her own campaign. She is the textbook example of the corruption voters are sick of.

Voters need to know that Dale Holness is a decades-long Broward County political insider, dogged by corruption and self-dealing, who is part of the same broken machine that has failed South Florida families. His own daughter — who served as his campaign treasurer — pleaded guilty to federal fraud charges after prosecutors identified her father's campaign account as the source of funds she diverted for personal expenses, with some of that money flowing directly to the rent on Dale Holness's own real estate business. Holness’s other daughter served 20 months in federal prison for a $300,000 PPP fraud whose shell corporation, Holness Consulting Inc., was registered at the same address as Dale Holness's own real estate office. Omar Smith, the political operative who has run Holness's campaigns for more than a decade, has separately pleaded guilty to PPP fraud committed at that same office.

What Voters Need To Learn

Likely Democratic primary voters in FL-20 need to learn, see, hear, and see-on-go that Elijah Manley is a dedicated educator, community advocate, and lifelong progressive focused on results.

Raised by a single mother in Fort Lauderdale’s historic Sistrunk community, Elijah knows firsthand the struggles that too many South Floridian families face. He understands what it’s like to go to school hungry, to live without electricity, and to wonder where his family will sleep at night. These circumstances motivated Elijah to fight for families like his own.

He began speaking out at school board and city council meetings, advocating for housing, food security, and racial justice. After the devastating Parkland shooting, Elijah channeled his energy into the March for Our Lives movement to enact commonsense gun reform.

Elijah knows the pain Floridians are facing today and is running for Congress to be a champion the people of South Florida can count on. Eager to serve his community, he will fight to lower costs, safeguard democracy, and tackle corruption in Congress. Our communities deserve transparent, accountable, ethical leadership in Congress that will put people – not big corporations and wealthy special interests – first for a change. Elijah will deliver the representation we deserve.

Elijah Manley is more than a substitute teacher and working-class organizer—he’s a relentless fighter who knows what it means to struggle and overcome. Growing up in poverty and homelessness right here in Florida’s 20th congressional district, Elijah has experienced the challenges so many families face today. That’s why he’s running for Congress: to fight for affordable housing, dignified healthcare, good-paying jobs, and a strong economy that works for everyone—not just the few.

Democratic primary voters need to see CTV/OTT, mail, and digital ads that Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dale Holness and Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick are the career politicians and Washington insiders whose corruption and self-dealing built a system rigged against working families.

Voters need to know that Debbie Wasserman Schultz has been a career politician in Washington for more than 20 years — and has used her office to enrich herself. She was caught violating federal stock disclosure law four times and bought stock in an industry she helped oversee. And she is the payday lending industry's most reliable ally in Congress — taking over $68,000 from payday lenders who charge 304% interest and target Black neighborhoods, earning the nickname "Debt Trap Debbie" for backing what the NAACP calls "modern-day redlining."

Voters need to know that in April 2011, as a member of the Judiciary Committee, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz signed a letter to ICE backing a 1,500-bed ICE detention center in Southwest Ranches and later defended it as an "important economic driver."  She then took over $20,000 from the private prison industry and their lobbyists. You can't claim to stand with immigrants while helping expand immigrant detention. In the letter, Debbie Wasserman Schulz wrote: “This nearly $100 million dollar project is one-hundred percent privately funded and will immediately stimulate jobs and economic growth. I, therefore, respectfully urge you select the Town of Southwest Ranches for ICE's newest Detention Faculty”.

Voters need to know that Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick was federally indicted and found by the House Ethics Committee to have committed wrongdoing — for funneling millions in federal COVID/FEMA funds into her own campaign. She is the textbook example of the corruption voters are sick of.

Voters need to know that Dale Holness is a decades-long Broward County political insider, dogged by corruption and self-dealing, who is part of the same broken machine that has failed South Florida families.
