McKinney, Amanda FINDING
Posted public messaging guidance consistent with red-boxing
Detected on https://www.mckinneyforwashington.com/memo · classifier confidence 0.95 · model fireworks/deepseek-v4-flash
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.
