Posted public messaging guidance consistent with red-boxing

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

The page contains explicit guidance on what voters should see across multiple paid media channels (mail, broadcast, cable, OTT, digital), along with prescribed messaging and media resources. This is directed at outside spenders who will run independent expenditures, not at voters or the campaign's own press shop. The presence of a date stamp ('Updated 1.13.26') and the structured format further indicate ongoing media-buy instructions.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page
