Jay Nixon’s Campaign Airs Two New TV Ads to Stress Differences with Congressman Hulshof on Economy

Attorney General Jay Nixon’s campaign has launched two new TV ads to stress the key differences on economic issues between Nixon and Congressman Kenny Hulshof.  One ad highlights Attorney General Nixon’s hometown values when it comes to protecting Missouri jobs, and the other new ad exposes Congressman Hulshof’s record in Washington, which contributed to the current economic crisis.

“Jay Nixon grew up in a small town, and he understands that regular Missouri families are hurting,” said Oren Shur, Nixon’s campaign spokesman.  “That’s why he has put forward a plan to get our economy back on the right track by creating next-generation jobs and helping families afford college.  In Washington, Congressman Hulshof helped create this economic crisis by voting for one failed economic policy after another. Here in Missouri, he turns a blind eye and continues to say that the state’s economic climate is strong. Clearly, Congressman Hulshof has been in Washington too long and just doesn’t get it.  By voting to help big corporations ship Missouri jobs overseas and to let the big shots on Wall Street run wild, Congressman Hulshof has made it clear who’s side he’s really on. That’s not the kind of change we need here in Missouri.”

 Both ads are airing on network television stations in markets across the state.  Yesterday’s Kansas City Star reported that the Nixon campaign is outspending Congressman Hulshof on television by nearly a 3-1 margin.
