TV ad

U.S. Rep. Catchy McMorris Rodgers: Campaign photoRep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Colville) launched her first round of television advertisements in the 5th Congressional District this week. The ad, called "American Energy", will be seen on cable channels throughout the district and touches on the two-term congresswoman's energy policies.

"We must take an ‘all of the above' approach to meet our current energy needs," McMorris Rodgers said in a statement. "That's why our ad highlights more than just increased drilling.  Not only must we open new sources of energy, but we must also focus on conservation, on renewables like hydro power and on increasing our capacity for new technologies such as wind and solar."

The ad can be seen online here, and the transcript found below.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Dino Rossi is going on the air with the campaign's first set of television ads today. The spot, entitled "Better", focuses on Rossi's theme of providing new leadership in Olympia to solve problems with transportation, education and the economy.

The spot shows a close-up of a smiling Rossi delivering the lines from a couch, followed by graphic displays of the points he is making. It also begins and ends with the scene of a river flowing through trees, and Rossi wearing a green shirt next to a forest.
