Janaki Chadha is reporting for Politico New York the New York Hotel and Motel Trades Council is spending $2 million to boost Democratic candidates five House races. Approximately a quarter of the funding will come from the council's national counterpart, Unite Here. The union represents 40,000 hospitality workers in the region. The ads, which began running October 9, in New York, target Republican incumbents John Faso, Claudia Tenney and John Katko. “Everything our union has fought for over the last few decades is at stake,” council President Peter Ward said in an emailed statement, citing immigration policy, labor rights and affordable health care. The ads will condemn the Republican candidates on their health care records. A television spot focused on both Faso and Tenney, denounces their 2017 votes in support of the Republican bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act. The ads will run on local radio stations, broadcast and cable television, as well as social media channels and other digital spaces. Faso campaign manager Tom Szymanski said the ACA "failed to deliver on its promises" and cited Faso's work on a "bipartisan 'Problem Solvers Caucus,' where we have focused on developing a solution that protects Medicare, covers pre-existing conditions and makes health care more affordable and accessible for every American."
