(ALEXANDRIA, Virginia) — Consumer Action for a Strong Economy (CASE) today announced the launch of “Goodbye Gary,” a six-figure consumer awareness advertising campaign calling for the immediate replacement of Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Gary Gensler. The ads, which will appear on broadcast television, radio, and digital media, highlight Gensler’s failures and demand accountability to restore public trust in the agency.
“Under Chairman Gensler, the SEC has become weaker, less effective, and less trusted by the American people,” said Matthew Kandrach, President of CASE. “He’s wasted millions of taxpayer dollars on failed lawsuits against lawful American companies, actively undermining the U.S.’s role as a global innovation leader.”
Gensler has faced widespread scrutiny during his tenure, including from his own colleagues at the SEC. Commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda slammed Gensler for what they described as an “endless series of misguided and overreaching cases.” Gensler also faces questions about his alleged “cozy ties” to convicted fraudster Sam Bankman-Fried.
“There’s no question that for consumers to be protected, and for faith to be restored in the SEC, Gary Gensler must be replaced,” Kandrach said. “It’s beyond time for us to say, ‘Goodbye Gary’.”
The first two ads were released over the weekend and are already playing, a radio spot called “What Can You Say?” and a television and digital ad called “Laugh Track”. Additional spots are already in production and will be rolled out soon.
Last year, CASE released “Silent Gensler” that asked, “What is Gary Gensler hiding?” in response to Chairman Gensler’s refusal to answer Congress’s questions.
