NRCC Pulls Ads For House Nominee After Military Record Disputed

The National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) is scrapping $1 million in scheduled TV ads for GOP congressional candidate J.R. Majewski after military records reportedly revealed he was never stationed in Afghanistan, despite claiming to have served there after the 9/11 terrorist attack.

  • Following the reports of the disparity, the National Republican Congressional Committee canceled its plans to run ads for Majewski just weeks before the midterm elections.
  • According to an Associated Press report, military records show that Majewski was in Kadena Air Base in Japan and was later deployed to Qatar, where he spent six months loading and unloading planes at an air base.
  • “I am proud to have served my country,” Majewski told the AP in the statement regarding the military documents. “My accomplishments and record are under attack, meanwhile, career politician Marcy Kaptur has a forty-year record of failure for my Toledo community, which is why I’m running for Congress.”
