SACRAMENTO, California, Aug. 7, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the No on Prop 6 campaign launched its first television ad in Fresno, showing critical Central Valley transportation projects threatened by Proposition 6, the attack on bridge and road safety. This ad is the first to run between now and Election Day. The campaign plans to run advertising in media markets statewide leading up to the election.
“Proposition 6 is a dangerous measure that could delay emergency response times and make our roads less safe by eliminating crucial transportation funding,” said Brian Rice, President of California Professional Firefighters. “It’s imperative that Central Valley voters understand the risk to public safety that Proposition 6 poses to our communities. That’s why California firefighters stand with public safety leaders to urge Californians to vote no on Prop 6.”
