If Republicans thought they dodged a bullet when Jon Powers lost the Democratic primary for the open seat of retiring GOP Rep. Tom Reynolds, they just received a reality check. The DCCC has just hit the airwaves with this ad:
Here’s the full script:
NAFTA has already cost New York over 50,000 jobs. But Congressional candidate Chris Lee chose to employ labor in China. Work that could’ve been done right here. Lee tried to hide the facts, removing all mention of his company employing workers in China from his campaign website, hoping you wouldn’t learn the truth. Chris Lee: a record of employing labor in China we can’t afford. The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee is responsible for the content of this advertising.
That ad is brutal and is most definitely going to resonate with middle/working class voters. Talk about getting punched in the nose right after the primary! Ouch.
It may be an effective ad, but the truth is that it’s hard to keep certain manufacturing jobs in the US. People abroad are willing to work for far below the US minimum wage, or any wage that would be remotely reasonable in the States.
And no one in Congress is going to be able to change that.
know who kryzan is on election day… she cut a new bio ad for the general, but she’s not gonna have the money to match lee…
