The page is explicitly structured as media-buy guidance for an outside group: it identifies a target audience (likely Democratic primary voters), prescribes specific message themes (Talarico's record), and provides detailed channel and geography instructions (broadcast TV markets, streaming services, mail markets, zip codes). This goes well beyond a standard voter persuasion page or press kit, and the directive language ('need to see these messages') indicates it is intended for whoever will run the ads.
