As we reported in this week’s Fair Game, Republican gubernatorial candidate Randy Brock has a new television ad out today hitting Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin on his record on taxes and spending.
“It continues to show the contrast between what Gov. Shumlin will do and what I propose doing,” Brock told Seven Days late Tuesday. “I propose more focus on honest spending.”
Here’s what the new ad looks like:
According to records filed with the Secretary of State’s office, it looks like Brock’s buying just $30,000 in air time, which won’t get him too far. The Franklin County senator hinted to reporters last week that he may replenish his campaign account with another personal loan — he’s already invested $300,000 of his own money — but Brock said Tuesday that he has yet to make such a decision.
Shumlin’s campaign plans to air its first two ads of the cycle starting later this week at a cost of $125,000.
We caught up with the governor Wednesday after a press conference at Winooski’s MyWebGrocer and asked him about Brock’s ad. Though he hadn’t yet seen it, Shumlin was more than happy to discuss his own spending record.
