  1. First detectedJuly 9, 2026

The page is structured as a memo to 'Interested Parties' with explicit directives on what messages to run, on which channels (broadcast, digital, CTV, mail, text), and for which geographic segments (Yakima vs. outside market). This is not voter-facing persuasion but rather guidance for outside spenders to execute paid advertising, meeting the definition of red-boxing.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

RE: What WA-04 Primary Voters Need to Know

What Voters In Yakima Need To See On Broadcast

Amanda McKinney has led the fight to protect Central Washington's water supply. She defended senior water rights, successfully pushed to expand water storage, and fought bureaucrats and corporations threatening the farmers, businesses, and families that depend on reliable water.

Amanda McKinney is fighting to protect girls' sports and defend Title IX. She strongly opposes allowing biological males to compete against female athletes and is standing up to political pressure to preserve fairness and opportunity for women. 

Amanda McKinney uncovered $6.3 million in taxpayer-funded fraud and held government accountable. In Congress, she'll fight waste, corruption, and the politicians who put special interests ahead of taxpayers.

Republican Primary Voters District Wide On Digital/CTV, Mail, and Text

Amanda McKinney isn't a career politician. As a county commissioner, she took on the establishment, exposed wasteful spending, and delivered results. That's why President Trump endorsed her campaign for Congress.

Amanda McKinney is the ONLY candidate endorsed by President Trump

Jerrod Sessler is openly lying about being endorsed by Donald Trump. He is not endorsed by Donald Trump and cannot produce proof of an endorsement

NOTE: Voters Outside of Yakima Media Market Need More Frequent Mail, Text, and Digital.
