Put Michigan First released a new TV ad Wednesday aimed at educating Michigan voters about the extremely close ties between GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon and billionaire Betsy DeVos, whose family is spending millions trying to elect the extremist media personality.

“Instead of looking out for Michigan families, Tudor Dixon wants to give huge tax breaks to billionaires while backing Betsy DeVos’ plan to strip funding away from public schools,” said Put Michigan First spokesperson Sam Newton. “Michiganders deserve to know that Dixon will always put DeVos ahead of Michigan kids, parents and teachers.”

Here’s the full transcript of the 30-second video:

Narrator: Most people hadn’t heard of Tudor Dixon until Betsy DeVos and her family spent millions to promote her.

Because Tudor Dixon’s tax plan would give DeVos and other billionaires millions in tax breaks.

Dixon’s all-in on DeVos’ plans that could take up to $500 million from public schools and give taxpayer dollars to private and for-profit schools instead.

More money for DeVos, less for our kids.

The Dixon-DeVos plan is too dangerous for Michigan.
