| Description | An out-of-state special-interest group has launched a $1.3 million negative television ad campaign against state attorney general candidate Deborah Senn, who faced a similar barrage just before September's primary election.
The Washington, D.C.-based Republican State Leadership Committee this week bought the spots targeting Senn. Some of the top contributors to the committee include the American Tort Reform Association, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance, ExxonMobil and the National Rifle Association, according to the Center for Public Integrity. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is also among the contributors.
"There they go again," Senn said.
Craig Wright, McKenna's campaign manager, said Senn should be careful about claiming the moral high ground given that the Democratic Party is spending nearly $800,000 on attack ads against Republican candidates in the state, including McKenna.
"We have known all along that there would be independent expenditures in this campaign," Wright said. "The Democratic Party is now running ads containing blatant falsehoods ... one that says McKenna supports legislation to ban abortion. |
