(Washington, DC) – Today, the Republicans Who
Care Fund unveiled a new television advertising
campaign in Maryland’s 1st
Congressional District (the ad can be seen on
the Republicans Who Care website –
www.republicanswhocare.com). “Andy Harris and
E.J. Pipkin have voted to spend millions of
taxpayer dollars on wasteful projects, and the
voters deserve to know the truth about their
dismal legislative records,” said Kirk Walder of
Republicans Who Care.
Harris and Pipkin are Maryland State Senators
currently challenging Congressman Wayne
Gilchrest in the Republican primary.
The
new television ad, entitled “Can’t Afford Him,”
is on the air in the Baltimore and Salisbury,
Maryland markets. The ad points out that Harris
and Pipkin voted for millions in wasteful
spending in the state legislature – including
money for a cow museum, money for a dance hall
in Montgomery County, and money to redecorate
offices in Annapolis. “Talk is cheap,
especially from politicians in the middle of a
political campaign. The truth is that neither
Andy Harris nor E.J. Pipkin are committed to
reigning in wasteful spending, indeed their
records make it clear that they are responsible
for millions in wasteful spending,” said
Walder.
“With politicians like Harris and Pipkin in
Annapolis, it’s no wonder that Maryland voters
are faced with an ever increasing tax burden,”
continued Walder.
“The
message of our ad is clear – Andy Harris and E.J.
Pipkin have done enough damage already to the
taxpayers of Maryland. Maryland taxpayers can’t
afford to be represented by politicians like
Harris and Pipkin,” concluded Walder.
