No longer present. When this page was last checked, on August 5, 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 titled 'Media' but functions as red-box guidance: it instructs an outside spender on which channels (MSNBC, CNN, Meta, YouTube, streaming) to use, what message to run, when to start (mid-April through Election Day), and provides ad assets. This is not a press kit or voter persuasion; it is a directive for independent expenditure advertising.

Voters need to see on MSNBC and CNN and digital platforms like Meta, YouTube, and streaming platforms that Zach Dembo is a 9th generation Kentuckian, Navy veteran, former senior advisor to Andy Beshear and former federal prosecutor who will take on corruption in Washington.
