The same page body is also served at https://suealtman.com/media.

The page is a media kit that includes a 'Summary' section explicitly instructing what ads should say and on which platforms (broadcast, cable, digital, streaming, mail) to reach Democratic primary voters. This is classic red-box guidance intended for outside groups to execute paid media, not a press release or voter-facing content.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • Democratic primary voters across the district need to see ads on broadcast, cable, digital and streaming platforms, and read in the mail that:
    Directive specifying media channels and audience for paid advertising, a key red-boxing signal.
  • Sue Altman has been fighting Republicans and powerful political insiders her entire career.
    Prescribed message theme for ads, written as an instruction rather than voter persuasion.
  • She took on Republican Governor Chris Christie when he was attacking teachers and defunding New Jersey’s public schools.
    Specific contrast framing provided as ad content guidance.

Background

Sue Altman has fought Republicans and powerful political insiders her entire career. From bullies like Republican Governor Chris Christie to crooked insurance companies and corrupt party bosses in Trenton, she never backs down from tough fights. As State Director for Senator Andy Kim, Sue saw firsthand the cruelty of the Trump Administration and knew she had to do more to stop Trump and end the rampant corruption and corporate greed in Washington.

Summary 

Democratic primary voters across the district need to see ads on broadcast, cable, digital and streaming platforms, and read in the mail that:

Sue Altman has been fighting Republicans and powerful political insiders her entire career.
She took on Republican Governor Chris Christie when he was attacking teachers and defunding New Jersey’s public schools. 
As Executive Director of the New Jersey Working Families Party she fought against corrupt party bosses in Trenton when they passed a $1 billion tax break for crooked insurance companies and corporate donors. She was so effective state troopers had to drag her out of a hearing on the bill to silence her.
As Senator Andy Kim’s State Director, she has been on the frontlines fighting against the Trump administration’s chaos and cruelty – corporations and billionaires buying access to the most corrupt administration in American history, while working people struggle to make ends meet and masked men terrorize immigrants and execute American citizens in the streets.
After the past year, Sue Altman knew she had to do more to stop Trump and end the rampant corruption and corporate greed in Washington. In Congress, she will fight to:
Pass Medicare for All and ensure everyone has the healthcare they need.
Abolish ICE and hold this administration accountable for their crimes.
Stop Trump and his billionaire cronies from rigging our economy and raising costs for working people.
Sue Altman has been endorsed by the New Jersey Working Families Party.
