Campaign will feature YouTube ads running in the home districts of the most persuadable members; calls out Trump’s suppression of the files and urges lawmakers not to bow to White House pressure.
WASHINGTON – September 5, 2025 – Today Home of the Brave released a new week-long ad blitz targeting the home districts of nine of the most persuadable House Republicans, urging them to vote in favor of releasing the Epstein files. As part of Home of the Brave’s multi-million dollar ad blitz this summer, the new ad highlights Donald Trump’s attempts to suppress the Epstein story and makes the case for transparency and accountability for the public. You can watch all the ads here.
The targeted members are Reps. David Schweikert (AZ-01), Juan Ciscomani (AZ-06), Eli Crane (AZ-02), Gabe Evans (CO-08), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01), Tom Barrett (MI-07), Ryan Mackenzie (PA-07), Scott Perry (PA-10), and Derrick Van Orden (WI-03). The ads urge viewers to call their member of Congress and tell them to pass the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which gives the public vital information while still protecting victims’ privacy. The ads will run on YouTube, and a version of the ad will also run in the Washington DC market.
This is the latest campaign released by Home of the Brave, a new project highlighting the harms caused by this administration and encouraging people and institutions to speak out. Home of the Brave is a $15 million initiative, and we recently launched a separate ad campaign in DC calling on federal agents to “Take off your mask!” We also added former police officers Harry Dunn and Michael Feinberg as advisory board members.
Rep. Thomas Massie’s recently introduced discharge petition would force a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which “require[s] the Attorney General to release all documents and records in possession of the Department of Justice relating to Jeffrey Epstein.” The White House has tried desperately to suppress the files and has taken steps to block their release after campaigning on releasing them.
