An ad from the environmental advocacy group LCV Victory Fund targeting Lisa Scheller, the Republican running in Pennsylvania’s 7th District, was taken off the air Wednesday after her campaign said it contained false allegations about Scheller’s company causing pollution.
Scheller is the chairman and president of Silberline, a global manufacturer started by her grandfather that specializes in aluminum pigments. She is trying to oust Democratic Rep. Susan Wild in a race rated Toss-up by Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales.
“My company has always prioritized health and safety, and I won’t tolerate dishonest attempts to smear the strong record of our employees who have spent decades building this safe and sustainable business that responsibly serves customers across the state and beyond,” Scheller said in a statement.
