Gregoire up with new tv ad
By Bryan BissellThe campaign to re-elect Democratic Governor Chris Gregoire is on television with its first official campaign ad of the cycle. The ad, seen below, focuses mainly on economic issues and continues with the campaign's strategy of making President Bush an opposite entity from Gregoire and Washington state.
It touches on local property taxes, namely re-instating the Tim Eyman-backed Initiative 747 this past winter that was overturned by the state Supreme Court, Forbes magazine's ranking of Washington as a top 5 business climate, and the creation of new jobs with an emphasis on a so-called green economy.
