In latest ad, Michigan House candidate Hillary Scholten says her family is forgoing air conditioning, new shoes
Michigan Democrat Hillary Scholten, who is running in one of the country’s most competitive congressional races, wants voters to believe she’s “making do with less and making things last longer” just like them.
In her latest campaign ad, Scholten claims her family has dramatically cut back on spending because of inflation. Higher energy prices, for example, mean no more air conditioning for the Scholten family, the ad shows.
Nor can Scholten even afford shoes for her children. “Things [are] so expensive,” she says after the ad shows her son wearing duct-taped sandals.
