Graves Campaign Hits Airwaves with First Television Ad

(RANGER, GA) – Republican Tom Graves, the conservative candidate in the 9th Congressional District special election, launched his first television ad that began airing in the Atlanta and Chattanooga cable media markets this morning.  In the ad entitled “Listen,” Graves discusses how the liberals are bankrupting our country and says that jobs and our conservative values can get America back on track.

“We have been blessed to live in a land of liberty and opportunity,” said Graves.  “It is our responsibility to make sure future generations have this same chance to live the American dream as we have.  However, Washington’s pork filled budgets, expanding debt, and backroom deals must stop. The top gets a bailout. The bottom gets a handout. And the middle gets to pay the bill.  North Georgia works too hard for their money to have it squandered by a liberal agenda coming out of Washington.  Americans care about getting back to work and it is high time that Congress begins focusing on free-market job creation solutions, tax cuts, and less spending, which are the paths to creating an environment for small businesses to flourish.”

Graves begins his advertising blitz three weeks before the May 11th Special Election to allow voters the opportunity to learn about him and the work he will do when he is elected to Congress.
