The nationwide ad campaign by Restoration of America urges residents to call their U.S. senators and tell them to pass voter ID legislation tied to the SAVE America Act.

The campaign lands as Senate Republicans continue trying to move election-integrity provisions even after the broader SAVE America Act stalled in the chamber. Fox News reported Restoration of America’s push begins with a $5 million nationwide campaign, including a $3.1 million national television buy, as GOP leaders discuss advancing parts of the bill through a larger package later this year.

The Senate bill was introduced on January 30, 2026 as an expanded version of the earlier SAVE Act. Its core provisions add a photo ID requirement for voting in federal elections, require proof of citizenship when registering to vote, and require states to remove non-citizens from voter rolls, turning voter ID into a central new element of the 2026 push.

Arizona’s two senators both voted against cloture on the SAVE America Act voter ID amendment on March 26, 2026. The official U.S. Senate roll call lists Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly as Nay on the motion to invoke cloture on Husted amendment #4732, the photo ID amendment attached to S. 1383, the legislative vehicle for the SAVE America Act. Their votes aligned Arizona’s full Senate delegation against moving the amendment forward, as the cloture motion fell short of the threshold needed to continue.

Pew Research Center found that 83% of U.S. adults favored requiring all voters to show government-issued photo identification to vote in August 2025, including 60% who strongly favored the requirement. Support extended across party lines, reaching 95% among Republicans and 71% among Democrats, with only 16% opposed overall.

Restoration of America describes itself as the umbrella for a family of conservative organizations that includes Restoration of America, a 501(c)(4); Restoration of America Foundation, a 501(c)(3); Restoration of America PAC, a 527 SuperPAC; and Voter Reference Foundation, another 501(c)(4). Its website says the network focuses on issue advocacy, election integrity, media projects, and permanent-campaign infrastructure.
