Here’s the new ad released today by Roy Carter’s campaign. It takes on Virginia Foxx in a way that no challenger has ever dared, by hitting her where her support should be strongest: on her treatment of military families and veterans.
A new poll paid for by Jim Harrell (Representative Foxx’s challenger in the 2004 election) shows Roy Carter up by a single point in the mountain counties of Surry and Allegheny. An August poll showed Foxx leading by 2 points after a midsummer PPP poll had her bowling her challenger over by ten.
Carter, for forty years a public high school teacher, is not currently being backed by the DCCC in the same way that fellow educator Larry Kissel is in NC-08.
It appears that the Carter campaign has hit a nerve regardless. Stay tuned…
Looks like Virginia Foxx is getting some of what she deserves with this one!
that is one hell of an ad. I wish the DCCC would take notice of this race and send just a little cash Coach Carter’s way.
Virginia Foxx is a disgrace.
