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

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.
