New DCCC ad plays up David Jolly’s lobbying past

in Uncategorized by

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s first ad against GOP candidate David Jolly, which hits the airwaves today, goes after the Republican on his past lobbying work-an issue that’s already become a potent one in Florida’s 13th district special election.

“David Jolly’s proud to be a lobbyist,” the ad says, showing a clip of Jolly saying he’s “proud of the work I’ve done.”

The ad continues, “Is Jolly proud of lobbying for special interests that received over three million in taxpayer-funded earmarks? Or the firm lobbying for hundreds of millions for a dictator – in Pakistan?”

The DCCC dropped $200,000 on the buy, and the ad will run through next Monday in the St. Petersburg area.
