Posted public messaging guidance consistent with red-boxing

The page is structured as a media-buy instruction: it specifies which voter segments should see a particular message on which platforms (digital, broadcast/cable), provides the message content, and links to video clips for ad use. This is classic red-box guidance intended for an outside group to execute paid advertising, not a standard voter-facing page or press kit.

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: $0. Dates are FEC expenditure dates.
