The Worst Political Advertising in America Awards

Veteran journalist Aaron Brown will headline “The Second Quadrennial Worst Political Advertising in America Awards,” Wednesday, May 21 at 8 p.m. at the Pantages Theatre. The event, sponsored by Growth & Justice, an economic think tank, also features a number of elected officials and local personalities.

“Political TV ads are widely considered the lowest and least respected form of political discourse, and it’s great to have one of the nation’s more respected TV journalists and journalism professors help preside over our non-partisan lampooning,’’ said Growth & Justice President Dane Smith. “It’s all for fun, and fun will be made of all.”

Tickets are $125 for a pre-recpetion with Aaron Brown and preferred seating, $25 for general admission and $7 for students. They are available for purchase at www.growthandjustice.org.
