The U.S. Chamber of Commerce on Friday announced a six-figure ad campaign in support of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that will fund President Donald Trump's domestic policy agenda.
The chamber said its advertising blitz, set to begin this week, targets "misinformation" about the tax policy bill and is part of the chamber's larger advocacy centering on tax efforts.
The advertising campaign will run in select states and congressional districts in the form of 32 billboards across the country and targeted paid media, the chamber said.
"There is a lot of misinformation being spread about this legislation. This is part of our effort to educate the public on why the bill is good for the economy and for creating more jobs with higher wages, and we want to thank the lawmakers who are working to get this proposal enacted into law," the Chamber of Commerce's senior political strategist, Ashlee Rich Stephenson, said in the release.
The budget bill passed the House by one vote and now sits before the Senate, which will take up action on it when Congress returns from recess next week. A handful of Republican senators have vowed to slash more spending than their House counterparts.
The chamber said its efforts will help raise awareness on the benefits of making permanent the 2017 federal tax overhaul enacted under Trump and the importance of his pro-growth policy.
The chamber also said the ad blitz will also draw "attention to those Members of Congress who are not supportive of the bill and in fact would be voting in favor of the largest tax increase in history."
The ads mention 14 members of the House and two senators, the group said. It did not name names.
The chamber cited a March poll that showed a majority of voters (64%) support making the tax cuts permanent. Further, the survey conducted by McLaughlin and Associates said 65% of American voters are more likely to vote for candidates who support permanent tax relief.
AxAdvocacy President Ashlee Rich Stephenson joined SiriusXM POTUS to break down why all eyes are on Texas, and why they’ll stay there through November. There is a lot of coverage on Texas that will not end tomorrow, it won't end in 10 weeks, it's going to take us all the way to the November general election. Why is that? Democrats desperately want to start to flip this state to make it blue for an electoral college advantage. Republicans know they need to hang on to it, because it doesn't look like a California, for example, is going to come back their way anytime soon. This will be a political science textbook, of primaries, runoffs, and then a really big general election. Watch the full interview:

Special elections are special, simply put. In the Texas race, the jungle primary produced a Republican majority when two GOP candidates collectively won over half the vote. But that advantage didn’t carry through to the runoff, where an enthusiasm gap led Democrats to over-perform in the turnout game. The takeaway: in off-cycle elections, turnout dynamics can matter more than territory. Listen to AxAdvocacy Preside nt Ashlee Rich Stephenson break down what we learned from the Texas special runoff.

Our Top 3: 1) Backlash Over Federal Immigration Enforcement Intensifies: National outrage has surged after two fatal shootings by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis, complicating the Trump administration’s immigration strategy and turning ICE enforcement into a central campaign issue. 2) More Redistricting Moves Continue to Pop: Republicans’ appeal of a court ruling throwing out New York City’s only GOP-held House district comes as Democrats simultaneously push mid-decade redistricting efforts in Maryland and pursue a ballot move in Virginia to reclaim map-drawing power. 3) High Profile Names Shake Up Senate Races: The 2026 map is drawing marquee names as Julia Letlow, Michele Tafoya, and Alexander Vindman launch Senate bids in their respective states, signaling both parties’ intent to nationalize key races early and reshaping the battleground well ahead of November.
