McAuliffe Campaign Releases New Ad to Respond to Negative Attacks and Highlight Call for Lobbyist Reform
Today, gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe released a new television advertisement in response to the false personal attacks levied by opponents. The ad highlights McAuliffe's experience as a business owner and his documented record of creating jobs. It also points out his bold plans to grow Virginia's economy by focusing on green technologies.
"In my own businesses, I've created thousands of good paying jobs. That's what this election should be about: creating jobs right here. That's why we've got to change Richmond," McAuliffe says in the ad. "Let's ban lobbyist gifts, so they can't stand in the way. Make Virginia a leader in renewable energy. And as governor, I'll make it my job to project your job.
The ad "One" will run on stations in the Richmond and Norfolk media markets. It can be viewed here: http://www.terrymcauliffe.com/articles/one.
