The page, labeled 'Media Toolkit' and dated for a special primary, contains explicit instructions on which voter segments should see or hear what messages through which channels (mail, TV, radio, digital). This is classic red-box guidance intended for an outside group to execute paid media. The presence of standard press kit elements does not negate the directive nature of the core content.
