WASHINGTON, DC — As the Senate advances a major tax package, Advanced Energy United (United) launched a national six-figure ad campaign across six states and the District of Columbia to educate the public about the consequences of repealing advanced energy tax credits that impact thousands of jobs in rural manufacturing communities.

The ads are part of a third-phase push from Advanced Energy United's campaign, Unlocking Advanced Energy, that launched in February in an effort to safeguard the $3 trillion in economic benefits, $846 billion in household savings, and 13.7 million American jobs that these credits will generate over the next decade. As reported in Reuters, the second phase targeted House members in May.

"Repealing these tax credits would devastate local economies, raise energy costs, and hand the keys of energy leadership to China – and the Senate now has a choice to make," said Harry Godfrey, who leads Advanced Energy United’s Federal Priorities team. "These tax credits aren’t abstract policies. They’re fueling $3 trillion in investment, millions of jobs, and real savings for American families. Congress should be unlocking certainty and growth, not locking out projects already underway. The Senate must act to protect what’s working."

The ads are running in states seeing transformative benefits from these tax credits over the next decade:

• Todd Young (IN): $160 billion in new private sector investments and $14.2 billion in new manufacturing investments across Indiana.
• Jerry Moran (KS): $10.6 billion in new private sector investments and $65 billion in new manufacturing investments across Kansas.
• Thom Tillis (NC): $103 billion in new private sector investments and $23.5 billion in new manufacturing investments across North Carolina.
• Dave McCormick (PA): $119 billion in new private sector investments and $28.3 billion in new manufacturing investments across Pennsylvania.
• Tim Scott (SC): $64 billion in new private sector investments and $18.3 billion in new manufacturing investments across South Carolina.
• John Cornyn (TX): $458 billion in new private sector investments and $54 billion in new manufacturing investments across Texas.

The campaign will run until a final tax bill passes the Senate.
