New Thompson ad focuses on Wisconsin heritage; still goes negative on Baldwin
A new TV ad from Tommy Thompson talks up his Wisconsin roots before characterizing Tammy Baldwin as a "Washington politician" who is spending money the country doesn't have.
The 30-second ad, titled "Vote," begins with Thompson talking into the camera, saying that "Wisconsin's in my blood."
"My family came here in the 1860s, settling on land that I still farm today," Thompson says.
Thompson then says he's worked with both parties to reform welfare and create new jobs. He then turns his attention to Baldwin.
"But Washington politicians like Tammy Baldwin are destroying our economy and spending our children into debt," Thompson says.
Thompson then says he'll fight for Wisconsin families and "get our economy moving again."
The ad ends with Thompson "asking for your vote."
