McClatchy: Democrats go old school, drop Rick Scott’s controversial ‘rescue’ plan in the mail  

By Alex Roarty

March 2, 2022

Key Points: 

  • The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee this week is mailing — literally mailing — a copy of the senator’s plan to two dozen Senate Republican candidates across the country.
  • Party operatives say they have made only one small alteration to the multi-page proposal, highlighting in yellow marker a passage that says “all Americans should pay some income tax” and attaching a sticky note to the page. Otherwise, they simply printed out the plan, slipped it into an envelope and included the appropriate postage.

  • “Every Republican Senate candidate owns their party’s plan that would raise taxes on millions of seniors and hard working Americans — which is why we are personally making sure they have a copy,” said Eli Cousin, a DSCC spokesperson, in a statement.
  • Democrats have made a robust effort to turn Scott’s agenda into a political liability for the whole GOP. Even White House press secretary Jen Psaki has gotten in on the act, highlighting a portion of the senator’s plan she said would raise taxes on most working Americans.

  • Democratic strategists say they plan to continue to push the Scott-centric message for months… a policy plan they think will be a political liability in November’s midterm election.
  • DSCC officials say the mail will be delivered to Republican candidates in [ten] states: Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, [Wisconsin] and Pennsylvania.
