Minnesota Congressman Rick Nolan's support for a controversial nuclear deal with Iran is the focus of a new $100,000 television and digital campaign announced today by the American Action Network.

In a press release announcing the new advertisement, American Action Network President Mike Shields said the "deal with Iran is a historic mistake that could have cataclysmic consequences for America and our allies."

Shields added, "[y]et despite all the bipartisan warnings, Rick Nolan has shown he's willing to sacrifice sanity and our safety by supporting a deal that paves the way for a nuclear Iran."

According to polling information released by the American Action Network, Nolan's support of the nuclear deal with Iran differs with a majority of likely voters in the Democrat's district in northern Minnesota - 54 percent oppose the agreement with Iran, while only 27 percent support it.

In total, the American Action Network is spending $250,000 targeting five Democratic members of Congress for supporting the Iran nuclear deal.
