radio ad

Darcy Burner's (D-Carnation) campaign is releasing a radio ad today to counter an ad recently run by the US Chamber of Commerce, which the Burner camp says contains false claims about her policy positions.

The ad, which according to the Seattle Times distorts her position, says Burner wants to raise taxes on families with children even though she shares a stance with Rep. Dave Reichert (R-Auburn) on the child tax credit. It will run on KOMO and KIRO radio for at least a week.

"Congressman Reichert and his Bush Republican allies used this same playbook last time - using false claims to try to scare voters away from voting for Darcy Burner," said Burner campaign spokesman Sandeep Kaushik. "But Reichert is an advocate for maintaining the failed status quo Bush economic policies, and this is a change election. This year, voters are not going to be fooled by these sorts of false claims."

Reichert's campaign was quick to mention that they did not produce the Chamber of Commerce ad, but stood by the policy differences between Reichert and Burner on taxes.

Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.)Gov. Chris Gregoire's campaign has just gone up with another radio ad airing throughout Western Washington. This latest one features the voice of an out of state politician, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama.

 "I want to ask you to join me in supporting Gov. Chris Gregoire," the Illinois Senator says at the beginning of the ad.

It then continues to push the Gregoire campaign's big picture themes of running against the agenda of the Bush administration.

Rep. Rick Larsen (D-Arlington) is on the air in Northwest Washington's 2nd Congressional District with his second radio advertisement of the campaign. The new ad is a 60-second spot on high fuel prices and Larsen's votes in congress to reduce prices by stopping price gouging by oil companies.

Larsen's first ad focused on his work toward expanding veterans health care services in the 2nd District. His opponent, Arlington Republican Rick Bart, has yet to go on the air and after a promising start has run into money woes, even ending the second quarter in the red before raising enough in July to pay off hid debts.
