No longer present. When this page was last checked, on September 7, 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 hidden/DOM-only section contains a dated update ('Updated as of 5/4/2022') with the directive framing 'need to see,' timed to the start of early voting, paired with opposition research and sourced assets on a primary opponent — signals consistent with red-box guidance to an outside spender. However, the language could also be read as internal campaign messaging or press background rather than explicit paid-media instructions, and there are no explicit references to paid communication, media markets, or channels. The ambiguity in intended audience prevents a definitive red-box classification.
Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page
Updated as of 5/4/2022: Voters, who can begin casting ballots in Virginia on May 6th, need to see that Jarome Bell, who recently met with President Trump at Mar-A-Lago after retiring from the Navy, is running for Congress on an America First platform supporting President Trump.
The phrase 'need to see' combined with a specific date tied to ballot-casting and detailed opposition research on a named opponent suggests this may be directing an outside spender on what message to run and when, rather than speaking directly to voters.Bell has been endorsed by General Michael Flynn and President Trump's ICE Director because he has said he will fight for Trump's Make America Great Agenda. He's even gone so far as to cast doubts on President Biden's victory in the 2020 election and in these troubling times, he opposes a woman's right to choose.
Prescribed contrast/attack message themes against a named opponent, packaged with supporting links, resembles ad-message guidance rather than direct voter persuasion.For more information see: https://www.facebook.com/... https://www.newsweek.com/... https://jaromebellforcongress.com/
Provision of sourced opposition research assets (video, news articles, opponent website) framed as supporting material is consistent with ad-asset provisioning for an outside group.
