Posted public messaging guidance consistent with red-boxing

The page is a press release addressed to 'Interested Parties' that contains explicit media-buy directives: channel selection (digital, CTV, radio, direct mail), geographic weighting (DMAs, counties), and audience targeting (runoff-history voters). This is not voter-facing persuasion or a standard press kit; it functions as guidance for an outside group to execute paid advertising.

Quoted evidence — verbatim spans from the page

  • D2 statewide on digital and connected TV — saturate the video across YouTube, Meta, X, and CTV. voters need to see Trump say Barry's name.
    Directive for paid media placement across specific digital and CTV platforms, instructing saturation.
  • Extra weight in Mobile and Huntsville — the two DMAs with the largest pools of persuadable primary voters. Over-index spend in both.
    Geographic media-buy instruction specifying DMAs and budget weighting.
  • Heavy radio in rural Alabama — audio cuts on rural AM/FM and Christian radio reach the runoff-history voters who don't live on social media.
    Channel-specific guidance for radio targeting a particular voter segment.
  • Direct Mail to 2+ Primary Voters with Runoff History in 18 Counties
    Direct mail targeting instruction with specific voter history and county list.

Schedule E is corroboration, not the trigger — a filed expenditure is late evidence, and our detection timestamp reflects when we crawled, which can lag the actual posting. Supporting IE dated on or after our detection day: $769. Dates are FEC expenditure dates.
